FocalCast for Android
I have been using this for 3 months now. Its a cool concept to be able to wirelessly present slides via chromecast . The reconnect button in the top right is really useful if you get out of range of WiFi and it disconnects. With the new update it runs way faster. The only problem is it is a straight presenter with no animation. I would love to be able to embed a YouTube video, or play a short animation(like a welcome video or countdown clock) like I'm able to on my computer presenter. But overall still good
Won't present my powerpoint! All it says is, "Focalcast ON THE ROOM" I'm just going to Rube!
Nothing useful.
It would be awesome if this could present Google Slide document
Living room
Pioneer in cutting off old Vga cables. Very professional app.
Worked great. Connected really fast and everything looked great
Not happy about the subscription method, better if it was a one-time purchase only. I am not an everyday presenter, so i don't see the point of a subscription
Keeps locking up on a single slide. It will keep showing the same slide even after closing the app and reopening it.
LG G2
Never got it to work using samsung s3
Good functionality
On Samsung Note 4 it took 5 minutes to render a 3 slide deck. It connected to Chromecast and very slowly put the words "FocalCast OWN THE ROOM" on the screen but wouldn't present my ppt. After a few attempts it crashed. Can't get it to work now. Useless.
Didn't work with the test Presentation in my miracast, but it worked with a other Presentation. Unfortunately I didn't find a way to zoom in.
Presentations so far work well. Not sure why Google or Microsoft didn't include this natively in their own presentation apps, as I've been looking for this sort of functionality. The only letdown is animations/transitions don't work. Please can we have these too? Then I'd definitely give five stars.
I've been playing around with it and I like what I see. Easy to use. I'm eager to test it live!
This app does a great job with making presentations easier. Integration with the cloud works great. Features are both easy and fun to use. The overall functionality of the app does a great job with making PowerPoint presentations more engaging and interesting. It is a great change to be able to dynamically present from a phone rather than a bulky laptop (keeps the audience more attentive).
It's nice to be able to take the variability out of connecting to the screen using a Chromecast. I just wish I could just load a presentation from my phone
This app gives a great presenter view and runs through chromecast... This great! But just like all other presenter apps my Powerpoint transitions and animatians are not supported.
Looks great and very intuitive
