Now the app keep shutting down. I have iOS 15.6 on iPhone 13. Will the app work on this environment or any policies blocking this? No idea. ### 1/5 — App don’t work *2022-07-01, version 1.0.8* App don’t work ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time. *2022-06-22, version 1.0.8* This should t even be in the App Store. It crashes when you try to launch it, and it hasn’t been updated in 2 years. This has all the earmarks of a stranded app. ### 1/5 — Fix this app! *2022-05-29, version 1.0.8* Crashes every time I try to open the app ### 1/5 — it won’t open *2022-03-17, version 1.0.8* it won’t open I just wanna watch bootleg musicals why must god hurt me in this way ### 1/5 — No longer works *2022-02-18, version 1.0.8* Stopped working when iOS was updated a few versions ago. App simply opens and immediately shuts down. Totally unusable. ### 1/5 — Suddenly stopped working *2022-01-24, version 1.0.8* Had this app for a couple years now and work great, now all of a sudden it’s not working, it won’t even initiate, disappointing ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️ ### 1/5 — Won’t work *2022-01-02, version 1.0.8* Won’t even launch app have deleted it and reinstalled it and it still won’t work ### 1/5 — Used to work fine, but.... *2021-12-19, version 1.0.8* Dev 2021 update: lie others, I can’t even start the app since the iOS 15 update. Is there anyone even maintaining it anymore? This used to be my "go to" app for sending web videos from my iPad Pro to my TCL Roku TV. Then I got an "update" earlier this year, and it simply stopped working. Doesn't matter what site, it is just plain broken. Can't even get a video to start in the embedded browser, much less send it to my TV. I guess that's $3 down the drain, unless someone gets their act together and fixes the most basic function of the app. Update: I see they don't support that IS the standard for all websites now. This effectively makes this app useless for 99% of web videos. Very poor business decision by the developer. ### 1/5 — Crashed *2021-12-03, version 1.0.8* Bad app as soon as I downloaded it and opened it, it crashed. ### 3/5 — Not working with IOS 15.1 *2021-11-29, version 1.0.8* The RCast was working very well till my IOS was updated to 15.1. I had to it for my new Apple Watch but after the update the R-Cast is not opening. ### 1/5 — This used to work, but… *2021-11-25, version 1.0.8* … it will not now even open. ### 1/5 — Absolute trash *2021-11-04, version 1.0.8* Won’t even open or load, not worth your time or anyone else’s. The fact this is even available on the App Store while not working at all should be a violation of terms and conditions. ### 1/5 — Please UPDATE *2021-11-01, version 1.0.8* Ever since I updated to IOS 15 app WILL NOT OPEN. I just purchased the upgrade but then updated my IOS now I can’t used it. I loved the app before. But now it is useless. ### 1/5 — Can not open now *2021-10-19, version 1.0.8* Change to iPhone 13. Then can not open . ### 1/5 — Not working *2021-10-17, version 1.0.8* Why does it not work?? I click on the app and it just throws me out the app I uninstalled and reinstalled and still doing the same thing!! Is it not compatible with the new iOS? ### 1/5 — This app failed to function at all. *2021-09-17, version 1.0.8* If you want to try to figure it out go ahead. I’m more interested in watching content. Oh and I’ve worked in machine programming for the last 20 years. ### 1/5 — App trash *2020-12-17, version 1.0.8* This app is completely trash, it doesn't work in my iPhone 11 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Didn’t Work don’t waste your time *2025-01-06* This might just be a problem with my phone but I installed the app and it would open for a split second and then close out the tab by itself. Again this may be my phone but I have lots of free storage so I’m unsure what happened. ### 1/5 — Crash *2024-03-11, version 1.0.8* As most of these guys are saying this app is a piece of junk because it crashes as soon as you open it so please fix it until it is fixed I’m only ratting it because it won’t let me send otherwise ### 1/5 — Does not work *2023-09-10, version 1.0.8* The app just crashes as soon as you try to open ### 1/5 — Didn’t even work *2023-08-31, version 1.0.8* Got the app to show kids at our children’s church a video, opened the app and just kicked me right back out, wouldn’t even open to try and work. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2023-05-28, version 1.0.8* I downloaded the app to my iOS and when I try to open it, it sends me out of the app. ### 1/5 — NEED TO REMOVE FROM APP STORE *2023-05-22, version 1.0.8* DOES NOT WORK. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME ### 1/5 — Technical issue *2022-11-30, version 1.0.8* I installed this app it won’t open up ### 1/5 — App won't open on ios 16.1 *2022-10-27, version 1.0.8* App won't open at allll need to be fix I downloaded the app on my iPod and phone and it crashes when trying to open the app ### 1/5 — Just wow *2022-09-17, version 1.0.8* It won’t even open the app on my phone! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t even open *2022-07-20, version 1.0.8* I have a brand new iPhone 13 pro and the app crashes the second I click on it. This is bunk ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — adjustable *2022-02-03* The application is great but if you could add tabs that would be great because I cannot help but accidentally click an advertisement and then I’m brought to a new page and have no way of returning to where I was previously at without restarting or accidentally starting an advertisement again ### 5/5 — iOS and Android *2020-06-28, version 1.0.8* Works amazon on IOS phones (don’t change anything for iOS ) and it’s very poor for android phones because the app stops working when the app is closed ### 5/5 — Yes. *2019-11-23, version 1.0.7* I like it very very much. ### 5/5 — Finally one that works for me. *2019-10-15, version 1.0.7* Hardware is ipad 5th gen., Frontier FIOS 50/50 Mbps, Frontier router. older Roku box, 55” LG led tv about 8 years old. Streaming on FB and Utube. Easy to set up and stream, thank you. ### 5/5 — Works well. *2019-09-30, version 1.0.7* Paid version works as advertised. Good app! ### 5/5 — Works great! *2019-05-19* Great app. As long as I don't forget to sign in if works perfect. If I forget it starts to lag! Love this app to throw programs on my big screen. Husband been sick and now we can join church when he has to stay home. Paid for the full app. ### 5/5 — No problems *2019-02-23, version 1.0.5* It’s been working great. ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-12-17, version 1.0.5* Works perfectly with most websites I use, very happy with this app! Use it everyday ### 5/5 — Full version is perfect! *2018-01-26* Love this app! I use it to cast Digital Theatre productions from my phone. It's perfect! It connected quickly (using the Roku's ip address) and it's streaming without any issues. It allows me to control the video with my Roku remote. Try it out first to make sure it works for you, then buy the full version for $3! ### 5/5 — This is amazing *2018-01-11, version 1.0.5* I’ve been looking for something like this forever and it’s so reasonably priced.
