About CastPad for Chromecast

CastPad - the first and easiest way to draw on your Chromecast!

CastPad lets you draw on your phone and see it show up live-as-you-draw on your TV and all other devices connected to the same Chromecast!

The Free Version includes:
• 5 colors: Black, white (acts as an eraser), blue, red, and yellow.
• Brush size adjuster

The Premium Purchase (available as an in-app purchase) includes:
• "Infinite" color picker
• 30 pre set colors
• Removes the ad
• Any and all future premium features that get released

Please note that a Chromecast device is required to use this application. If you have a Chromecast and you do not see the connect button in the top right corner of the screen, you can try the following things to get it to work. One or all of them may be what it takes for it to work properly:

1) Terminate the app and start it again
2) Uninstall the app and install it again
3) Restart your phone

If the above things do not work, let me know!

Yeah I'll take my money. And uninstall. Not providing the service, agreed to, by your auto promter. Gives one change of colour, and prompts, upgrade to premium. Hey the colour matrix was completed by a 2nd grader. What a joke. I will peruse my $2:50 as I believe it to be a lazy way to make money. I don't usually write negative feedback. But my 4 yr old son was left in tears. Test products, before charging real dollars. Regards Mike Schultz.

App is deprecated. With new changes (3.0.0), there were install problems that were fixed by 3.0.1, but many major issues still exist. I have contacted the developer and offered to debug the app, but haven't gotten any news of development in the past 6 months.

***UPDATE: IT WORKS, IT'S ALIVE! THANK YOU! ***Won't install on Note 4. If your product doesn't work, take it off the shelf...or fix it.

Can someone tell me how to 1) Access the tools again after using the application to draw/cast something. 2) Summon help or any type of support. No response from the in app email address.

Keeps disconnecting

I70%
by I####:

Some major issues. 1. No eraser option present. 2. After quiting the app there is no easy way to reconnect to chromecast again. I have to actually open chromecast app on my phone then close it and only after that procedure I can reconnect this application. Please, fix it and I will gladly buy the full version.

This is a simple to use and I just upgraded to the paid version. Would like to see a zoom feature, and for some reason, I can't select a dark green when selecting colors..

I have a galaxy note 8.0 tablet with stylus and this is the perfect set up for Pictionary. Just pass the tablet around for drawing, no more wasted paper and every one can clearly see what you're doing on the tv screen. Dope!

I turned it on then just a dumb white screen help

I think I lost my license or the app is broken. I can't even buy it again if I wanted to. I have many Android devices and this app is buggy with all of them. Chromecast 2015. App force closes often as well.

Mainly use this with the kids. Can be entertaining. Bought the premium purchase for more colors. Now all my devices have access to these additional colors. BUGS: Sometimes it connects well, sometimes gets stuck on connecting. Very unreliable. Worst part is my in-app purchase has disappeared. I can't use my premium colors anymore. Please Fix ASAP. However, Good to see it isn't abandoned.

It won't install on a galaxy s6. Downloads the application but then the installation keeps failing. Installs on my Acer tablet but doesn't work and just says "connecting..." on tablet, and shows white screen on tv with castpad in top corner. UPDATE: 4-23-16. Installs now on S6 but still doesn't work (does same thing as Acer tablet noted above).

...won't let me buy premium. Won't even prompt me for payment or give me price that the premium upgrade costs... is it $1? $10? I have no idea...

Something wrong when I try to purchase premium. Doesn't respond when I press Buy Premium.

This is a great idea built off of a simple one. We like to use this app when we play board games that involve drawing. Having a whole TV as a canvas is awesome, and for All-Play, it's hysterical. Well done, Dev.

The size option reflects on my tablet but not my Chromecast. Why? Edit: still no work...

K70%

Doesn't do anything except show a menu with option to buy premium which I won't do because it probably still won't do anything anyway.

Worked perfectly, great app, had loads of fun writing messages, pictures etc and playing "guess what" games and drawing speech bubbles on photos lol

I tried to install the updates and they would not install. I then tried uninstalling and reinstalling the application, and that failed too. Developers need to fix this issue, as it seems to be affecting a lot of people.

It turns a screen into a digital whiteboard. Fantastic with my Galaxy Note 2. But even after using just a little while these features are lacking: 1. Eraser 2. When leaving the app while casting, need to turn casting off and on again to get back into app 3. Portrait mode. 4. Multiple pages that can be flipped between

Kids will like it but quite limited and the line thickness doesnt change on the tv screen (Samsung galaxy tab 2)

H70%

The Thought of leaving funny little messages on the tv for the kids or wife is why I wanted it but even after the latest update it still crashes immediately upon starting. I would give 0 stars if I could, and more if it actually worked. Samsung galaxy 3

This app does what it says it does. I just wish you didn't have to pay for more colors

It turns a screen into a digital whiteboard. Fantastic with my Galaxy Note 2. But even after using just a little while these features are lacking: 1. Eraser 2. When leaving the app while casting, need to turn casting off and on again to get back into app 3. Portrait mode. Though a lot of the screen is wasted, this is still sometimes necessary. I would like it if there were a way to change to portrait. It is good to default to landscape, and I would not want it auto-switching, but sometimes it would be nice to be able to turn this on. 4. Pinch to zoom. Especially when being used to display photos.

In app ads plus limited effect options....no thanks

Cool idea but with in app ads overlaying the canvas and anything you want to do costs money
