Review summary

User feedback for Google Cast is mixed and largely negative about reliability. Many report it fails to connect or show content (black screens during mirror/cast), and that it quits unexpectedly or becomes unusable. Several reviewers complain about frequent sign-in prompts and ads, plus perceived outdated software and compatibility issues with various TVs. A subset notes the app is easy to use, helpful, and useful for casting without a YouTube account. Overall, reliability and compatibility are the main pain points, with some small positive usage experiences.

2026-08-08	Do*****	This app won't open on my telus tv plus box I've tried to a rediculous amount of times. I have also repeatedly updated the app. In the information that's available in the app information it shows a 2 year old update date! I'm very disappointed with it . After reading all the bad reviews on here just now apparently Google is indifferent about their quality and reputation. The 4.1 overall ratings are seemingly impossible good job Google,jeesh
