### 1/5 — Not very useful w/o paying for upgrade.

*2024-01-08*

Can do only basic casting at relatively low image quality unless you pay for an upgrade.  Unless you do absolutely everything from your cell phone, the upgrade cost is too high.

### 3/5 — Many casters don’t work on my LG TV

*2023-11-20*

I have tried several casters and have yet to see this one work yet

### 1/5 — Generally does not work

*2023-06-03*

Does not work. Does not connect and only shares the media you have on your phone - opting you may be streaming on your phone. Just files and photos. Have tried multiple times and simply is a waste of an app.

### 1/5 — Waste of time!

*2023-04-30*

This app should be free for having a $2000 tv! It will allow you to connect to your tv, but won’t mirror unless you pay for a subscription!

### 1/5 — Poor service

*2023-03-04, version 1.0.9*

Paid for the upgrade and ever since I cannot connect to my tv to watch my downloads

### 1/5 — STINKS

*2023-02-12, version 1.0.9*

I can’t connect

### 2/5 — Worked only once.

*2023-01-05, version 1.0.9*

When I downloaded the app I wanted to make sure that I could cast a video onto the TV, and it worked the first time, but after that I tried to add a picture and the app just wouldn’t budge. I would close the app and open it back up but it wouldn’t let me cast a picture or any other video. I didn’t want to pay the premium because I didn’t want to spend money on an app that's not working right.

### 5/5 — Programar

*2022-11-15, version 1.0.9*

Tb LG

### 1/5 — Garbage Disposal

*2022-11-11, version 1.0.9*

Waste of money

### 1/5 — MACHHGheisvsidbd

*2022-11-06, version 1.0.9*

This app is terrible. I paid for the upgrade, and nothing new really worked.
