## What is Gcast?

GCast lets two phones share one screen, so you and a friend can play side
by side even when you aren't in the same room. Cast from your iPhone, hand
half the screen to someone else, and play.

What you can do:

- Cast your iPhone to another iPhone or iPad.
- Share that screen with a friend so two games run side by side.
- Create a private room with a short code and send the link.
- Get a pop-up the moment a guest asks to join, so you don't miss anyone.
- Pick a nickname and a pixel-art avatar instead of being a random string
  of characters.
- Play over the internet, not just Wi-Fi.
- Built on WebRTC, so the lag stays low enough to actually play through.

Works for couch co-op, late-night online sessions, watch parties, and
whatever else.

TURBO is an optional auto-renewable subscription that unlocks casting up to 1080p (native
resolution) and removes the on-screen watermark, available monthly or yearly. Payment is charged
to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase; the subscription renews automatically unless
canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your
Apple Account settings.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-05-24, version 26.5.15*

So far my experience has been really good and hope its developers keeps it up.

### 5/5 — GCast for Minecraft

*2026-05-16*

I’ll be honest I was a bit skeptical bc of the “zero latency” claim but I was genuinely impressed. At least for running games like Minecraft and Roblox it works perfectly! There is no noticeable difference between the phone screen and the monitor/tv other than you get to play on a big screen. Props to the dev
