## Review summary

Overall, users praise IPTV Cast for being easy to use, with strong EPG integration and a helpful remote control. Many report smooth casting on certain devices and good performance when using external options like VLC. However, repeated concerns include unreliable Chromecast support (often requiring workarounds), issues with playlists (especially multiple playlists), and casting instructions that are unclear or inaccurate. Some users also want VOD/series access and in-app IPTV login support, and a few note slow or unresponsive support. These themes dominate the feedback.

### Pros

- Easy to use with a simple, intuitive UI
- Strong EPG integration
- Remote control support (including Samsung SmartView)
- Chromecast casting works on some devices with good performance
- Supports external players (e.g., VLC) for casting as a workaround

### Cons

- Unreliable Chromecast/casting not directly supported (many users report issues requiring workarounds)
- Playlist handling problems (especially with multiple playlists)
- Casting instructions are unclear or inaccurate
