time waiste

just load of ads watching to not be able to cast anything

Worthless app!

Can’t find a way to cast programming from my phone to my Sony Smart TV as desired. No useful tutorials on point. Tried to get a refund within minutes of my purchase but was told no refund was available. A total waste of $6.99.

mauvais

Mauvaise qualité et payer pour le mode mirroir avec une latence, mauvais

Zero stars

What a piece of trash. I downloaded this to cast at an Airbnb, so you can bet I’m not paying for premium. At the free tier you can’t cast from apps and the built-in player pushes ads every couple of minutes, nags constantly. I can’t believe Sony would get behind this.

FAQ

What is TV Cast for Sony Smart TV?

This app allows you to stream web videos, online movies, and livestreams from your mobile device directly to your Sony, Hisense, or VIDAA/VEWD powered smart TV. It acts as a web browser and streamer, enabling you to cast content to your TV without needing additional media server software.

What kind of videos can I cast?

You can cast most web videos, online movies, and livestreams, including mp4, m3u8, and hls formats. However, DRM-protected content from services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu, as well as Flash videos, are not supported.

How do I set up casting to my TV?

First, you need to install the companion 'TV Cast' app from the App Store on your Sony TV. Then, open the app on your mobile device, navigate to the website with the video, and tap the detected link to send it to your TV. Ensure your mobile device and TV are on the same Wi-Fi network.

Is the app free to use?

The app offers a free edition for testing purposes. However, to unlock all features, including an ad-blocker, local video casting, and advanced playback controls via the Remote Playbar, you can upgrade to the Premium Edition through in-app purchases.

What if a specific video doesn't cast?

Sometimes, videos may require multiple attempts to cast or might need to be played on your mobile device first. If a video is consistently not working, check the app's FAQ section for troubleshooting tips. You can also contact the developers via email for assistance, and they may add support for the website in future updates.
