Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the Chromecast Ultra's ease of use, excellent picture quality, and impressive 4K streaming capabilities. Many appreciate its straightforward setup and generally positive performance. However, some users mention the relatively high price point and the lack of a dedicated remote control as drawbacks. A few also noted occasional lag or heat issues.

    I bought this previously and did not have too much success with it. When i bought it I was told I could use amazon prime video on it, which it turned out not to be the case. But for other google features it seemed to work perfectly fine.

      Hi Johnny,

      We appreciate you taking the time to leave a feedback for us. We're sorry to hear of this inconvenience and we'd like to help.

      Amazon Prime Video app on your smart device is compatible with Chromecast Ultra. In the Amazon Prime Video app, there should be a cast icon, you can then choose Chromecast to cast to your TV.

      If you don't see the cast icon, updating your Amazon Prime Video app to its latest version may resolve the issue. If it doesn't, you may have to contact the app's developer for troubleshooting. madebygoogle

    Not real great compared to ROKU. I would return it but my return period has expired. I have an older Chromecast, a ROKU, and the Chromecast Ultra. If you have Sling and AirTV, it won't play your over the air channels or recordings.

    Never use mine. Thought it worked like a Roku or FireStick but it does not have an app with a Home Screen. I did not want to download a bunch of streaming apps on my phone. The main reason I got it was it functions with my nest cameras and wanted to use google assistant for voice commands. Really wish it had a homepage function on it. I use my PS4 or Roku. Also, got it to avoid using console for streaming because it heats up my room. I had high hopes. Sad it didn’t work out the way I thought. :/

    have bought this as an upgrade for the original Chromecast. can't say it was a worthy upgrade. might have something to do with the availability of higher res' content. if you are considering buying this as an upgrade - check it out at a friend's place first and see for yourself.

    Works ok. I don't use it for anything but casting from my mobile devices. I still use my smart TV apps instead. Why does it not come with a remote? It's so hard to use without a remote. I definitely prefer firestick over this if using apps.

    We use this for our bathroom tv to wats in the morning. After months of seeing someone hacking into my Hulu account we figured they came through this device. My phone tells me something is streaming so I can stop it.

    Chromecast works fine and works well with wifi. It is nice to have the option to send things from my tablet to the TV, but I find I don't use it often. Apps that are available are also on other devices so I tend to use those more often. Not bad for the price though.
