Works easily with the Chromecast. ### 1/5 — Big disappointment *2017-04-24, version 1.1* Views cycle is very short, so quickly bored then annoyed by repetition and poorly contrived cross fade. Deleting, waste of time and the purchase price. ### 1/5 — Absolute rubbish. *2017-02-09, version 1.1* I have wasted 99p by buying this. It will try and connect but just say loading... and continue doing that until the app finally crashes. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — This app doesn't work on Vizio *2016-06-11* This app doesn't work on the new Vizio Smart cast TV's. It's a waste of money and no way to get a refund. **Developer response:** We've published an update that fixes this issue - the video should work with this update. Can you please try the updated app? You may need to restart your Chromecast device or your Google TV for the updated app to work fine. Please let us know if this fixes the issue. Thanks. ### 4/5 — Works as Intended *2016-05-20* It worked for me and I was able to switch to other apps on my phone with no issue. My only complaint is the video loops are very short. I hope it can be updated with a 5 minute loop. ### 4/5 — Nice toy for the chromecast *2015-10-10, version 1.1* Nice idea, and a bonus that you get a choice of two views. The audio was awful - very noisy and odd clipping noises. Not relaxing at all. The video loops regularly - which is done by a cross fade back to the first frame. So not seamless if you are staring at it. ### 1/5 — Don't do it *2015-09-12, version 1.1* Had to restart every time I wanted to use it. ### 3/5 — Suddenly lost the video feed *2015-09-03* When I bought this app several weeks ago, it worked just fine - as of today, I've lost the video feed and can only hear the accompanying sound. **Developer response:** We've published an update that fixes this issue - the video should work with this update. Can you please try the updated app? You may need to restart your Chromecast device or your Google TV for the updated app to work fine. Please let us know if this fixes the issue. Thanks. ### 1/5 — Would be great if it worked *2015-08-06* App never loads aquarium to TV screen, and discontinues attempt if you use other apps on your phone. **Developer response:** We've published an update that fixes this issue - the video should work with this update. Can you please try the updated app? You may need to restart your Chromecast device or your Google TV for the updated app to work fine. Please let us know if this fixes the issue. Thanks. ### 1/5 — 😜 *2015-07-11* Doesn't work,,,,don't buy it **Developer response:** We've published an update that fixes this issue - the video should work with this update.
