## Review summary

Review highlights show a mix of solid casting performance and ease of use, with many praising Chromecast compatibility and the value of the Pro upgrade. However, repeated threads of instability — crashes after updates, videos not loading (black screens), and unreliable casting on iOS devices — overshadow the positives. Advertisements and banners become a pain for some users, even when paying for the app, and occasional UI responsiveness issues add frustration. Overall, Web Videos for Google Cast delivers good casting and quality when it works, but stability and casting reliability need attention.

### Pros

- Strong Chromecast/Casting compatibility; works well casting from iPhone to TV.
- Pro version is valued and widely adopted.
- Good streaming quality when the app is functioning.
- Ad-blocking and reduced ads in the free version.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and instability, especially after updates.
- Videos fail to load or show black screens; playback often stalls.
- Mobile/Chromecast casting reliability issues on iOS devices.
- Ads persist or are inconsistent even after purchasing.
- UI responsiveness/input issues requiring multiple taps.
