About R-Cast

Cast online videos from your Android device to Roku! This app is intended to help cast videos embedded in websites that don't have a Roku channel.

Install the R-Cast channel and R-Cast app in your Roku and Android devices respectively. Once you connect the devices to the same Wi-Fi network, this app will detect your Roku devices.

Browse the web for videos in the Android app and cast them to the Roku channel. It's that easy!

Please note that not all videos can be cast including HTTPS, Flash videos, live streams. If you see R-Cast channel load the video and return to the home screen it is usually because of incompatible video format. Roku doesn't play all video formats that play in Android devices.

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. If the video website already has a Roku channel, please use its channel.

YouTube videos will not cast in Android 4.4 and newer devices, please use the YouTube app.

Quick Start:
* Install R-Cast channel in your Roku device: https://my.roku.com/add/rcast
* Install R-Cast app in your Android device
* Connect your Android device to the same Wi-Fi network as your Roku device
* The app will detect Roku devices 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 Roku device to cast and voila!
* Enjoy videos on the big screen!!

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

Please make sure the websites you frequent play in R-Cast channel before upgrading to the RADICAL Edition. R-Cast channel only works with the R-Cast app.

Why are people leaving one star because they don't want to pay the one-time premium upgrade for $2.49? Well worth it so far for unlimited media!

App wouldn't let me even remotely watch movie I wanted to cast and I purchased the premium version just to see if it fixed it and it ended up still broken I hope this is just a single case movie will start for 5 seconds then the app closes

E70%
by E####:

I like this app. Wasn't sure about having to buy it after only 10 min but it has cast to my tv every time with little to no problems so I would say it was worth the money.

T70%
by T####:

Try the free trial for 10 minutes it played very well after I purchased it the website that I used for the free trial wouldn't work the only reason why I bought it was because it worked on the website that I wanted I had tried over 10 different apps and this one work for the 10 minutes that I tried it which made me happy but afterwards it stopped

by Y####:

Probably the most garbage app I've ever downloaded, don't waste your time

T70%
by T####:

I have a Roku tv and I downloaded the app to cast and coming from an iPhone and Apple tv where I didn't have to pay extra to cast longer than 10 minutes seem like a money grab from roku

T70%
by T####:

The worst app that I've down loaded so far ! ????

B70%
by B####:

When the app actually works it's great but I usually have to uninstall it and download it again. Lately, it is working but you can't hear any sound. I finally gave up and found a new one that actually works. It used to work really good until they did their last update.

K70%
by K####:

This app used works like garbage anymore. Constantly dropping off where it did not used to. It reloads pages over and over because the browser is buggy as hell. I really wish I had not upgraded. Not to mention it needs more available formats. Update : started working again for a bit, now it does not detect my component. I know it's only 2.49, but save your money. It is not consistent enough to warrant even that much.

T70%
by T####:

A great App. Some sites might run different formats and there might be loading issues. If your steaming and you get errors just change your stream/mirror and hopefully this will work. it does for me. Just be aware it doesn't work everywhere but it's still well worth the small fee

T70%
by T####:

This app worked so well after I first purchased it! Now a few months later it is malfunctioning. It closes on its on after the prompt comes up to cast a video and once the prompt comes up on where to cast, you can not return the website you were visiting. Very frustrating!

W70%
by W####:

Absolutely no updates to prevent spam, the app went from fantastic to horrible in months. In order to even try to stream anything now i have to fight for 5min and close all the damn pop ups only to have nothing stream. It sucks because this is still the only app that will cast to a roku tv.

T70%
by T####:

App works pretty well. I do find myself having to manually add my device even after its been saved because it says 'casting issue' on saved device(s) but once i re-save it plays pretty well. No complaints other than that. Good job! Hope it continues to work.

M70%
by M####:

At first, the app worked great but now, I can't even use it. It keeps shutting down every 30 seconds or so. I paid for the premium version and would like a refund at this point. ????

T70%
by T####:

I paid for this thinking it was going to work it was doing good at first then it just stop working. Now a pop shows up saying something about the security certificate

T70%
by T####:

It's okay. But, the pop ups are ridiculous. They show up every sec. I click okay to get rid of them and it doesn't help. So I then have to exist out of the app go back, go to site and hope for the 10th time it would work:/

F70%
by F####:

This app use to be really great. Now it's not. Cuts out multiple times during an episode and doesn't resume where it was left off. Not sure why I paid full price for it to be the same thing as the free version.

T70%
by T####:

It partially worked for me prior to purchasing. After purchasing, it would not work. I've been in contact with the developer, and they refunded my payment, which is appreciated. It is limitedbto what video types is supported. I hope it can become a product I can use in the future. Thanks

C70%
by C####:

This used to work great, I even paid for it. Doesn't work anymore, needs to be updated. Disappointing and unusable in its current form.

T70%
by T####:

THE ONLY APP THAT WORKS I tried at least 10 other apps claiming to do what this one does and none of them work! This is the only one I found that gets the job done and with minimal frusttation. Awesome job!!

T70%
by T####:

This app used to work great. Now it only casts about 5 seconds of video at a time. It's so frustrating. Im not sure what happened, but this app needs some serious work.

T70%
by T####:

The app keeps restarting everytime I try to cast web video to my roku. Used to be great app in the past, but not anymore. Garbage....

T70%
by T####:

The 10 minute limit is garbage. Make it full featured for 7 days or something instead. This is a waste of time.

T70%
by T####:

After one month stop working. Give me my money back!!!!
