### 5/5 — Perfekt!

*2022-01-31, version 1.2*

Ganz einfach gehalten. Hat aber sofort funktioniert. Danke.

### 1/5 — Non va

*2020-11-14, version 1.2*

Si collega al server DLNA ma quando selezioni il video da riprodurre il Chromecast visualizza l’anteprima ma non c’è verso di farlo partire.

### 1/5 — Non funziona

*2018-12-26, version 1.2*

Non funziona. Si seleziona il brano ma non c’è il comando play e non parte in automatico. Nessuna informazione su compressione audio. Dopo qualche tentativo anche un cash. Su iPad 2018. Volonteroso tentativo.

### 1/5 — Es una estafa

*2017-09-25, version 1.1*

Esta app es una estafa, lo único que pude reproducir fue la publicidad nada más... Patético programa....

### 5/5 — Simple & Gut

*2017-08-23, version 1.1*

Erfüllt voll und ganz seinen Zweck. Streamt Filme vom NAS zum Chromecast.

### 1/5 — Screen re size and play button

*2017-08-05, version 1.1*

Nice efforts, perhaps a play button would be handy, unless i missed it, also in apps like air video you can resize the screen from your device, IE most video do not fit screen and are not suitable for viewing.

### 1/5 — Needs work.

*2017-01-02, version 1.1*

Finds my Chromecast but does not find my 3 dlna servers (2x minidlna, 1x Logitech media server).

### 1/5 — Am I missing something?

*2016-06-02, version 1.1*

This app is useless for chromecaster, there is no play button and all you see is grey control that doesn't do much

### 4/5 — Finally found one that works

*2016-01-17, version 1.1*

After trying just about all the Chromecast DLNA apps in the App Store, this is the first one that worked right after installation with zero problems whatsoever. It quickly found my Chromecast and my Stora DLNA media server and connected to both. The interface could use a little improvement, but for a free app this one definitely does the trick.

### 3/5 — simpel & gut, verbesserungsfähig

*2016-01-09, version 1.1*

Tut was es soll, ist allerdings sehr simpel aufgebaut.
+ positiv: simple, schnell und einfach zu bedienen, findet alle UPnP/DLNA Server und Chromecast Clients sehr schnell
- negativ: spielt immer nur einen Track ab, sortiert die angezeigte Tracklist alphabetisch nach Tracktitle und nicht nach Tracknummer, statt des Album Covers wird nur Werbung angezeigt
