PhotoCast for Chromecast

It would not detect local video movies, only stills. However, I needed to cast the videos. Turns out that only videos already uploaded to Google can be cast. That requires you to first upload to the cloud then download again to view your video. Very inefficient from a data flow standpoint. If they would fix that it might be a good app. Seems like an artificial limit since it can see the stills saved locally.

Work !! straight away and has viewing option... after too much frustration trying another apps

A little leery at first, but it has proven to be a good way to cast images to the Chromecast dongle. Local videos seem to work, too...

Hi!!! Is there a way I can cast a image folder, and this folder can be re scan, so if theres new pictures, they will appear on the chromecast? Right now it works fine, but if I add new pictures to the same folder, it does not re-scan the folder, so I have to go back and open the folder again to do the re-scan... Thanks!

Works really well. Upload of images quite fast compared to some other apps. Three second slide show is great. Having ability to create a play list would make this app even better.

Excellent supplement to Google Photos which doesn't continue to cast when your device sleeps. PHOTOCAST DOES! and allows a mininal 3 sec per slide and different display formats. Appreciate the minimalist approach, however an Album Search and Scroll by Date feature would make the app perfect! Thanks

Works reliably from Google Photos. Would love the option to select multiple folders and also display photos in a random order. Thanks for a great app.

Excellent app works better than google photos app, excellent picture quality and smooth video playing unlike the google photos app that buffer a lot. Would be nice to be able to search google photos though.

Fast and easy to watch pictures on tv with chromecast. BUT I do miss sorting option. It seems the sorting is kind of random. Otherwise very nice.

Simple to use and great to show photos

Not supporting videos from gallery

Awesome! Just what I was looking for, perfect to have a background slide show on chrome cast

Not getting videos

Works great on my Chromecast 2 fast photo slideshows. Great App

very fast! but not a lot of clouds support.... drive, Dropbox,..... need to be add

Really easy to cast sharp gallery photos and slideshows. Brilliant!

Doesn't even cast

Good to photos on the big screen

Great for casting photos.

Good

Casts very well once the folder of required files is found BUT ploughing through 1000s of thumbnails to find files makes it useless for me. It needs a Hierarchical Folder Name search facility.

Android 7.0 Nexus 5x didn't find my Chromecast. Other apps found it without problem

Says connecting, progress bat moves across, but nothing happens!

Pretty simple in what it does but that's the beauty of this app. Absolutely ideal for casting photos individually or as a slide show. Many thanks to the app author.

Not csting

Soesnt find cromecast

needs animated gif support update: still doesn't have animated gif support

This app is superb !!!!

Chromecast not detected

Does not work

Doesn't connect

Don't bother downloading

Its fake. Doesn't work.

Received a chrome cast for my birthday and tried to share my screen to show my photos to the family. Unfortunately the photos were very pixilated and waiting for them to buffer didn't seem to work either. Thankfully this app was available though and pictures came through excellent quality. Was quick to connect and quick to change photo. You can up the quality but the default settings were excellent for the TV size we had.

Not very intuitive ...

Thumbnails missing all the time. Is there a way to build them?

Doesn't work anymore

Minimal permissions, just works. lg g2 with stock lollipop

Needs to be able to access google photos from clud

Nja, slö och ojämn.
