This used not to appear at all. Otherwise excellent. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2025-01-05* Everything is great except that I can't have pictures run for over 30 seconds unless I leave the app open..... ### 4/5 — Fun *2024-02-09, version 4.11.4* Fun ### 3/5 — C’était parfait avant !! *2023-12-07* Cette appli était vraiment parfaite pour voir les photos et vidéos de l’iPhone sur la télé avec la Chromecast, mais il n’y a pas eu de mise à jour depuis 3 ans et il y a des dysfonctionnements surtout avec les vidéos. Vraiment dommage car je n’arrive pas à trouver une appli équivalente. ### 5/5 — Excellent ! *2023-10-10, version 4.11.4* Excellent pour tout ! ### 4/5 — Good *2023-10-07, version 4.11.4* Good ### 5/5 — Super *2023-10-02, version 4.11.4* Tres bon logiciel!!!! ### 5/5 — Smooth streaming *2023-08-16, version 4.11.4* After long searches finally found this app which does not crash while streaming, works so smoothly, video played high quality. Thank you for your great work, app is amazing and will share the love to every iphone user I know. Thanks! ### 4/5 — Sa *2023-07-09, version 4.11.4* Good ### 5/5 — Kamal *2023-06-23, version 4.11.4* Hello ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — APP CRASHING *2025-12-06, version 4.11.5* •Constant crashing, on two different devices. Immediately with Shuffle mode, 10 seconds into Normal mode. •Also… still disconnecting if timer is >30s I’ll change the rating after the crashing is fixed, because its unusable right now. iPhone 15 Plus & iPhone 12 Pro Max ### 1/5 — Not the best *2025-12-02, version 4.11.4* I couldn’t figure out how to use the app because it has no instructions. It wouldn’t let me do anything. It wouldn’t even let me add songs to the song track. I couldn’t make a video of all the pictures I had. ### 1/5 — App rarely works *2025-11-10, version 4.11.4* There hasn’t been an update for this app recently and it shows. App freezes most of the time, I’ll be lucky sometimes to play a video or 2 before I have to close the app and try again. The developer seems to have abandoned the app. ### 1/5 — iphone16 *2025-06-22, version 4.11.4* si vedono solo le foto e non i video ### 1/5 — Dumb watermark *2025-06-15, version 4.11.4* Get rid of the watermark ### 1/5 — Never played *2025-05-29, version 4.11.4* There was a picture on the screen, just not my picture and it never played ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-09-15, version 4.11.4* Can’t add more pictures to albums b ### 1/5 — Can’t even try it for free *2024-06-13, version 4.11.4* I downloaded and installed it and it accessed my photos, but displayed some generic demo photo instead. so there is no way to know if it actually works or not.The demo photo is only proof that it connects nothing more ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2024-04-10, version 4.11.4* I have bought this app and tried to cast photos from my iphone 14pro max but app failed to recognised the format of the photos even though in settings I have selected 4K resolution and best picture format, very disappointed and certainly do not recommend this app. ### 1/5 — Usage peu ou pas compatible avec Apple *2023-02-15* Ergonomie très décevante.l’Apple TV apporte beaucoup mieux le service. Je n’arrive pas a projeter mes photos ou album Apple sur la télé via chromant.👹👹👹👹 Quand on passe par Google photo le temps entre chaque photo est infernal même en réglant au mini👹👹👹👹 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 🍀Best photo app🍀 *2025-12-12, version 4.11.7* This is my favorite app on my iPhone. It plays music extremely clear! The photos look great on the big screen TV, and the way it's set up is better than any other photo app I've seen. Love showing the photos on my phone on the big screen with music to friends and family. You got to have this app❤️❤️❤️ Update really sucks! Now on the smaller files The wording is a light, yellow and unreliable! Crashes and glitches also. Wish I never updated! Dec of 2025 ### 5/5 — Works for me. No nonsense. *2025-11-08, version 4.11.4* Casts photos from my old iphone to my old chromecast on my old tv. No money down. No nonsense nags, money grabs or advertising. You might be looking for this one. Connects to the iphone photo library and you add photos to a slideshow/folder in the app. Then casts directly to the tv using phone to control the pace. Easy. Very functional for free. Option to contribute $5 for gratitude and high resolution. ### 5/5 — Diese App muss man einfach haben *2025-06-28* Nachdem die Verbindung zu Chromecast endlich steht, läuft alles perfekt. Kann ich nur wärmstens empfehlen. Videos und Fotos werden zuverlässig wiedergegeben. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-02-24, version 4.11.4* 💯💚💙❤️💛🧡 ### 5/5 — Absolution *2024-12-11, version 4.11.4* Great movie ### 5/5 — The Best *2024-11-17, version 4.11.4* Hey go get it it's straight ### 5/5 — Great app! *2024-10-16, version 4.11.4* Fantastic app for easily showing photos and videos via Chromecast, without all the baggage that comes with Google Photos. ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2024-03-25, version 4.11.4* Beautiful ### 5/5 — NMaybe k I’m *2024-03-03, version 4.11.4* Oookklololololllolololooooo kk lolkk lol kids op poll results lin longkk kk m mmmmm.
