Features & Capabilities

TV Cast for Sony Smart TV lets you cast any web video, online movie, livestream, or live TV show to Sony Smart TVs and Hisense VIDAA/VEWD-powered sets. It supports MP4, M3U8, and HLS, including video-over-HTTPS, with no time limits. Browse within the app, detect video links, and cast with a single tap—no bulky media server required.

Important notes: Install the companion TV app on your device; if your TV uses Google Cast, use the dedicated Google Cast app. Enter your iPhone/iPad IP via the remote; some services (DRM-protected content) are not supported. In-app purchases unlock features like Remote Playbar, Local Videos, Ad-Blocker, Bookmarks, Desktop Mode, and more. If a video doesn’t cast, check the FAQ or contact support.

User Reviews

Most reviews are negative: while the app offers casting to Sony TVs, it often fails to work reliably due to ad-heavy monetization, unclear compatibility, and poor guidance. Users report frequent connection errors, lag, and videos not playing, with many feeling misled by pricing and the need for multiple in-app purchases. A few users find it useful when it does function, but the recurring issues make it not worth the cost for most.
Pros
  • Core capability to cast/mirror content to Sony Smart TVs.
  • Useful for viewing online content on a big screen when the app works as expected.
  • Some users report the app can work and deliver the expected mirroring experience in the right setup.
Cons
  • Constant ads and a heavy reliance on in-app purchases that block or degrade basic mirroring functionality.
  • Unreliable performance with frequent connection errors, lag, and videos not playing.
  • Compatibility issues and vague advertising—it's not guaranteed to work on all Sony TVs or formats and is sometimes advertised for Sony but fails.
  • Lack of clear onboarding or helpful directions; poor or no tutorials to guide setup.

Can’t find a way to cast programming from my phone to my Sony Smart TV as desired. No useful tutorials on point. Tried to get a refund within minutes of my purchase but was told no refund was available. A total waste of $6.99.

What a piece of trash. I downloaded this to cast at an Airbnb, so you can bet I’m not paying for premium. At the free tier you can’t cast from apps and the built-in player pushes ads every couple of minutes, nags constantly. I can’t believe Sony would get behind this.
