### 1/5 — No music

*2019-06-22*

It says it can cast local music. But no luck

### 5/5 — At last!

*2018-03-01*

I’m not that worried by the photo stuff. What DOES impress me (and what I’ve been waiting for for ages) is now I can play my iTunes over chrome cast audio! Brilliant!

### 5/5 — Finally

*2017-01-25*

Great app to cast photos and videos to your Chromecast connected TV that isn't total trash. It just works and it's fast! I've been wanting something like this since the Chromecast launched. There is also a similar app I like too called "Cast Player" if you are looking for a more simple app.
