Features & Capabilities

LocalCast lets you cast videos from your phone to Chromecast, Roku, Fire TV, Samsung, LG, Apple TV, DLNA, and 200+ devices, and also lets you mirror your screen in HD. The built‑in browser detects playable videos on any page, so you can tap to cast without copying URLs. It supports local files, cloud storage, IPTV, and subtitles, with automatic transcoding when needed.

Beyond casting, LocalCast is a multimedia hub: remote control for playback, support for IPTV and Live TV with M3U playlists and EPG, subtitles that auto-detect and sync, plus cloud streaming from Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, NAS, and DLNA/UPnP servers. Setup is quick—no account or wizard required—just connect to the same Wi‑Fi and start casting.

User Reviews

Overall, LocalCast shows solid core features for casting and subtitle control, and the pro version is valued by some users. However, a pattern of problematic updates, heavy ads, and inconsistent playback/subtitle behavior dominates most reviews. Users report videos not playing or buffering after updates, UI regressions, and LG/Samsung TV compatibility issues. Subtitles loading and VTT handling are troublesome for some, while licensing concerns and slow or no developer support add to frustration. Improvements would need to stabilize updates, curb ads, and restore reliable casting and subtitle workflows.

Pros

Strong core features: queue system, resume functionality, and full subtitle support.
Effective cast-to-TV capability with subtitle resizing.
Pro version offers good value and improves the experience.

Cons

Major updates have repeatedly broken core functionality, making the app unstable or unusable.
Intrusive and frequent ads hinder usage and testing of premium features.
Casting/streaming failures: videos fail to play or buffer indefinitely after connection.
Subtitle loading and VTT handling issues reduce reliability.
Licensing and support problems, including loss of pro access after updates and poor developer responsiveness.

I can't believe I actually found an app that lets you cast to your Xbox, it's kind of crazy. but why does everything have a subscription these days? rediculous..
