User Reviews

FCast Receiver is an open source casting app praised for seamless integration with GrayJay and YouTube casting, offering an alternative to proprietary solutions. Users appreciate its simple, effective performance, especially when installed on TVs. However, it sometimes refuses to connect, has a small QR code that's hard to scan, lacks subtitle support, and doesn't offer manual screen rotation options without enabling auto rotation. Compatibility issues with certain Samsung Smart TVs and challenges using it without Android TV were also noted.

If you use grayjay this is a must, and if you dont you can use it with the youtube app too (because of google cast) sometimes the app just outright refuses to connect for some reason, thats my only complaint.
