I love this app

I love it so much

Disappointing

Like most other users have found - this app has some nice features , but fails all to often to do what it’s suppose too.

Maybe sometime in the future the problems will be sorted , but at the moment , I’ll stick with 8player Pro , much more reliable and faster to load albums .

Strange, inscrutable user interface

It’s bad enough that the user interface on this is so much of a jumbled mess, but I really have no idea how to operate it successfully. The real problem is that it is so mysterious, so inscrutable, I’m not even sure what this app is capable of doing.

It works

After the new update everything seems to work flawlessly,
Great work Thank you

Lg smart tv

Can't play any thing in my smart lg tv
Why?!
Even my smart tv appear in the app

Almost there but not ...

I was pretty excited after finding out there is an alternative from using plex server.
What I liked:
This app has a nice UI more modern and advance from most other Apps I used
Have links to multiple online sources so you are able to cast them

What I don’t like,
App crashes too often, will lose its media source unless you close and reopen the app, this is a total show stopper for me.

On the free version , pop up ads comes up interrupt on every song you play, very annoying and I think it’s kind of a show stopper for lots of the users wanting to fully test out the app before buying.

Hopefully app owner will read this and make necessary changes, this app definitely has its potential and good to have once they can clear the crash.

Comme si comme sa

When it works well it is marvelous. But there are many times that it can’t maintain a session with a Chromecast even though the WiFi signal is strong. You have to play with it for quite a while to get continuous playback.

Could not live without it

If you have a Chromecast audio and an iPhone, you absolutely need this app. End of story. Indispensable.

Could be better

Very confusing GUI.

Does not have support for playing a file from a sub directory.

Awesome App

Was just what I was looking for, allows you to cast audio to your chromecast without having to turn on your tv(given that you have separate speakers).

Horrible DO NOT BUY ANYTHING

I got this program to cast music to my chromecast like it says it will and it detects my chromecast but doesn't have an option to change there is a button that I pressed that was supposed to change the playback to the chromecast device and it does absolutely nothing. Horrible application unless you only plant to use your phone for the playback then it is poor at best.

The best app

I use this app with Yamaha Rx v 675 and my book live to listening music on jbl studio 230. I like this app very much... i am not programmer but wanted to make an app like this n improve more... have one request / suggestion if u accept. Pls add 10 band equalizer

Keeps stalling

The app keeps stalling with a mysterious error message saying it can't load something. So you have to restart the app every five songs or so... very annoying

Good start

I primarily loaded this app on my iPhone for casting music from my iPhone to my Chromecast equiped stereo system. I can "see" my iPhone playlists and select the first song in the playlist but after that it will just stop until I manually push the start button again. Very frustrating to an otherwise well created app.

Seems very complicated but has potential!

I have other cast apps 4 in total, excluding this C5 app. They all do one area of casting well but fail in multi type casting. Music from my apple library, video (from the internet), and photos from my device IPhone 7 +.
The C5 app was very confusing but seem as it may cover all casting types well, only time will tell.
I dislike the playlist function under music, it attempts to connect you to premade playlists off the internet. I would rather use my own playlist due to having and extensive library.
And the app will not copy my playlist I have already on my Apple Music, I am recreating them on this. But unlike other music cast apps it gives me the option to random play the chosen list which is a huge plus.
The design of the app is nice but definitely not user friendly.

Does not play your iTunes library

Does not play your iTunes library despite being able to identify it as a source

Good stub!

Good thing

Great quality!

Highly recommended...

Slick, polished DLNA app

Ok, this is an early review of the Freemium version. Excellent, love the quality of interface. Streams from any of my three servers to any of my renderers without problem. Think I'm going to pay up and get the premium edition just to get rid of occasional ads and maybe even better performance. Very happy so far. Thanks.
