>>> MIRACAST vs. VIDEO & TV CAST
If you think Miracast screen mirroring works better for video casting, please consider the advantages of Video & TV Cast:
MULTI-TASKING: You can close the app while casting! Your phone can even be shut down. So don't worry, get your beer from the fridge while leaving your phone in your pocket. Or make a phone call, text message or prepare the next video in the browser while casting.
FULL HD: Casting in Full HD is possible even on Android devices with low screen resolution. Miracast is restricted to the resolution of your Android device.
LESS WIFI-USAGE: Because with Video & TV Cast only the LG TV loads the video during casting. When using Miracast all videos are routed through your phone.
DEVICE SUPPORT: Video & TV Cast works on all devices running Android 2.3 or higher. Miracast does not.
>>> IMPORTANT NOTES FOR APP USAGE, PLEASE READ
With Video & TV Cast you can browse through the web and stream any web-video, online-movie, livestream or live-tv show you want on your LG Smart TV.

Nothing but adverts and requests to upgrade to premium version. If the free version doesn't work, why would anyone upgrade?! The easiest/best way to test this is to have a time limited pro version (eg, 30 minutes a day). This is terrible!!!

Works okay. If you launch the app on your tablet and on the TV, connection is usually straightforward. Finding the video to play back can be a pain unless you pay for ad blocker, which I refuse to do. Not the most user friendly app for this type of use.

I used it on one of the best uhd TV in the market It simply failed. No playback. No syncing after different tries. And it's not user friendly.

Misleading and utterly useless. YouTube already streams directly to TV. I don't know what other URL you would use.

Crapware. Turns on automatically by itself. Had to uninstall to fix the nuisance.

Crashing more than 10 times just to play a single movie, really need a addblock for basic version. Otherwise not worth using it. Just waste of time because most of the video sites has annoying adds.

No way I'm paying 35 dollars just to cast videos from my phone to the tv. That's completely ridiculous and B.S.! Was a pain to set up and it's just another cash grab from a greedy lazy company. Saw them tell one guy to request a refund from google. That's extremely difficult and has never worked for me. Forget LG

Contains ad but working good. I really like it. You do have an option to block ad by purchase premium version. If you don't want to purchase, just tap cancel and wait for your video to load

Tried to watch NBA games and it didn't work because it's not Flash-Player-friendly. The premium version didn't help either.

I can't stream twitch videos in good/decent quality, it only works at 144p or something close to this. When I put the link, it shows me some options, the option with good quality only works for 5 seconds or less than it loads forever. In the app description it says that does not support live streams, but come-on, if it is a smart TV, you probably won't use it for YouTube/Netflix because it's already pre installed. So twitch should be the 3/4rd most used service. Hope it will have a better support in the future.

I may look stupid, but this app is not user friendly and quite vomplicated to my tastes! I am disappointed I paid for it! How can I cast pictures from facebook? How can I miror my tablet on the TV? do I always need to have a http link to a video?!?!?

Stupid thing won't connect any apps to the tv! You have to go through the internet to steam the films you want which is not possible for me.

Fail right from the start. Installed app on lg tv and phone, entered ip as directed and never connected. Odd that I suddenly need this adware when I could used to cast natively from my phone to the tv but after the last tv update the native cast quit working. This is far from an easy solution
by P####:
Looks like you have to pay $34.99 a month since the free version is nothing more than a tutorial button that tells you nothing and so many ads scrolling across your phone and you can't even find anywhere to set it up. Don't waste your time.
