About Firecast

Cast online videos from your Android device to Amazon Fire TV or Fire TV Stick! This app is intended to help cast videos embedded in websites that are not directly accessible in Fire TV.

Install "Firecast Player" in your Fire TV or Fire TV Stick and then install this "Firecast" app in your Android device. Once you connect the devices to the same Wi-Fi network, this app will detect the Fire TV.

Browse the web for videos in the Firecast app and cast them to the Firecast Player in your Fire TV or Fire TV Stick. It's that easy!

Please note that not all videos can be cast (like Flash videos, live streams, etc). Videos in the web that are not in high definition, might not look the same on your HD TV as they look in a small screen.

UPDATE 7/30/14: YouTube videos will not cast in Android 4.4 devices, please use the YouTube app.

Quick Start:
* Install Firecast Player app in your Fire TV or Fire TV Stick: http://amzn.to/1mvySW4
* Install this Firecast app in your Android device
* Connect your Android device to the same Wi-Fi network as your Fire TV
* This app will detect the Fire TV in your network
* Browse the web for your favorite entertainment
* In Android 4.3 or earlier, play videos in full view for the cast menu
* In Android 4.4 or later, just start videos to launch the cast menu
* Select the Fire TV to cast and voila!
* Enjoy videos on the big screen!!

Upgrade to the FLAMIN' edition to watch videos longer than 10 minutes. The upgrade removes the ads at the bottom of the browser. It doesn't remove the ads hosted by the websites you visit.

Firecast app only works with the Firecast Player in Fire TV or Fire TV Stick.

It doesn't cast properly. It's very slow apps

T70%
by T####:

Bad shutsdown without any reason

T70%
by T####:

Excellent

O70%
by O####:

Glitchy, and crashes. Likely due to buggy code intended to start ad videos and check 10+ minute casts. Looking for a better app than "Video & TV Cast." Firecast allows you to cast easier, but the cast never stays playing... pointless.

Awful

S70%
by S####:

Sometimes the app can be temprememtal and take forever too buffer films to the tele and then they start to freeze and skip as if it needs to buffer. I have a 42mbps band speed with only 2 phones connected so this shouldnt be a problem. Other than that fantastic app for quality of pictures unlike some apps who lose quality in transition to the screen from my mobile

S70%
by S####:

Wouldn't work to cast on my firestick. I need to find out how to get a refund because I paid for the premium. Now I had to pay for premium on another app that did work!

D70%
by D####:

Most often doesn't start readily. After 3 or 4 tries it casts to the tv. Sometimes it works on the first try, but not usually.

U70%

Seems to be working now I uninstalled and reinstall

N70%
by N####:

Don't work.

S70%
by S####:

Has potential.... but.... finds the Fire Stick twice. Casts for 7-10 seconds then stops. All the while still asking where to cast to. Have to kill the app to try and use it again.

Poor app. I want my money back!!!
