This app is poorly made. The map is not movable other than zoom. It doesn't auto locate so by default settle,Washington is given very annoying. The slide show background is way too fast and you be able to set any photo or video as the backdrop. This app needs a lot of work and thought into it. The only useful thing is the weather function.

This app wouldn't run on my Chromecast. It would just go to a black screen.

Nice little app. Very interested to see how it will develop and surely will consider going pro. Tough price seems steep

Crashes the chromecast

by A####:

I really love the look and customization of the the things it displays. How about 24h clock option? :) I'm using it everyday and loving it.

2 dollars a month to use your own photos on the background? Are you joking?

J70%
by J####:

Rss still doesn't update quite as quick as 10 minutes but it's up to date within a few hours. Most things seem to work the way they're supposed to now. Just looking for more widgets in the future.

Tiles did not tile nicely, with too much overlapping. Some tiles never updated. Often froze Chromecast. Fun idea though!

Recent updates have ironed out calendar bug that used to show calendar entries a day behind.

Application crashes on startup, even with fresh install.

It is a great app but it would be awesome if you could play audio on the chromecast!! Still an awesome app!

Calendar show all events one day wrong. Only 12h clock, both in calendar and the clock. No personal backgrounds, only stock.

F70%

Great app if you use chromecast. Simple and very neat utility...

G70%
by G####:

The Calender being off by a day is a deal breaker for me. Once that is fixed I'll change my rating.

I use this as a dashboard on a small TV for my kitchen to stay organized, and it works great. User interface is intuitive and the easiest compared to others out there. Keep it up. I look forward to more widgets (email, messaging/text apps, Google reminders, etc.) Just need to fix the RSS feed issue. I think linking this to an account would be good as well so that it can be accessed from multiple devices.

by B####:

I've been looking for a minimalist dashboard to cast in my kitchen for some time with no luck. A quick test of this so far is fantastic. Love the pics in the back of the widgets. Could not see any directions on my map. Some requests would be an email top 5 most recent from Google inbox maybe, a calendar widget, a reminders widget that syncs with my inbox reminders just to name a few. Good start so far!

Pretty good. RSS won't change from the news source selected by default for some reason. 5 stars, easily, once that is fixed and the beta photo background stops crashing it. Marshmallow 6.0.1 on Samsung Note 5

N70%
by N####:

I'd like to like this, but the RSS feed doesn't change items from the default URL which renders it pretty useless, and the calendar widget has the wrong dates on events (they are day behind - presumably some kind of timezone bug, which is odd given I'm in UTC right now). Traffic on the map sounds useful, but would be far more so if it could show the route for your commute or similar. Sure, it's free, but the unrealised potential here is disappointing.

This an awesome an much needed app for Chromecast devices. How awesome is it to wake up a personalized Google dashboard on your 50inch bedroom TV ? If YouTube Support could be added so that our subscriptions will play on the dashboard, that would be amazing !

posts each event one day before it actually is like a birthday on saturday that it is on friday otherwise it would be great and i like ita lot

The rss widget is just not working. Tried a couple of feeds including the default nyt rss but the widget shows up without any entries. Rest work like charm

U70%
by U####:

If it had the ability to send power on and power off commands over HDMI-CEC at schedules times then it would be close to perfect

S70%
by S####:

Its perfect its just I cant leave the app without it disconnecting.

L70%
by L####:

How come rss feeds and weather don't update daily or have the option for frequent updates? I use this app as a constant display for a monitor and it would be great if the option of timely updates for weather were there. As it stands today is Friday and the main weather info displayed is for Thursday morning and the five day forecast begins Thursday. Otherwise great app, does what it says.

I tried adding local RSS feed URLs but it couldn't pull data from them. The clock only has a 12hour mode, not 24, and no alarm mode either. All my calendar posts are shown one day too early. It's not European timezone friendly at all. :( I would have loved if it was.

I can't even open the app. It immediately crashes. It seemed okay before I was unable to open it.

Super great app, love this ability to change my Chromecast like this to show a dashboard. Y'all please donate to the developer so he can maintain this

W70%

but sadly it doesn't

R70%

Removed one star because the clock can't be changed from 12 hour format. Apart from that it's perfect!

RSS is over a month old and still won't let me change the address. I'm going to keep looking...

The dashboard is limited but what it can do it does well. Looking forward to the rebuild!

Needs to have audio and maybe video. YouTube play list support and if possible play music would be great

N70%

Good feed design, but no video or audio.
