User reviews

CastPlay offers a simple, ad-free experience with good casting capabilities on some devices. However, many users report frequent connection failures, crashes especially after updates, and lack of remote control functionality that diminishes its usefulness. Issues with screen mirroring and network requirements further frustrate users. Improvements in stability, connection reliability, and features like folder selection and remote control integration are needed to enhance usability.

Pros

No advertisements or hidden costs, providing a clean user experience.
Simple and user-friendly interface, appreciated by some users.
Capable of casting photos, music, and videos effectively on some devices.
Fast and convenient casting when it works properly.

Cons

Frequent issues connecting or finding TVs on the same network, especially with screen mirroring.
App crashes and stability problems reported after recent updates.
Absence or removal of remote control functionality majorly impacts usability for users without physical remotes.
Does not support casting over mobile hotspots; requires router-based WiFi connection.
Limited features such as inability to select specific folders or play downloaded videos from arbitrary locations.

Horrible, sad to say most of the bad reviews are true. Minus 5 stars. The app doesn't pick up tv, although both the device and tv are on the same network. Tried everthumg, hardbooted both devices. Tried connect with wifi a d wlan. Real garbage app.
