User Reviews for TV Cast for Samsung® TV

Needs lots of work

This app does not work as expected. My intent was to watch Home videos taken on my iPhone, and screen share / cast them to a Samsung smart tv - something that *should* be as simple as FaceTime, right ? Wrong! The app will disconnect from the tv, as soon as you switch to your video and start play, so no luck there.Second option - Using the app Menu, then find your home video. It tells you that only the last three videos taken can be watched with the free version of the app ! I guess the in-app purchase is now required. So I tried one - result: no sound, and the video does not rotate to match the orientation of the Home video. So you sit on the couch with your head cocked sideways, with no sound. Also, the app must upload your video to a web service to “optimize” it, which means they now have a copy of your content. This process creates a web link url, so now you are streaming it to the TV app. This is not “screen casting” or mirroring at all ! It is uploading from the phone app, and downloading to the TV app !Also / biggest pain ever is the whole “enter IP address “ nonsense . Hello Developers - it’s called multicast, or broadcast, or DNS lookup - there are many choice to find devices on the same layer 2 network without asking users to type in numbers they don’t understand. It should be as simple as FaceTime. Go back to the beginning and start over on your device discovery subroutines.

Difficult to start but once you get the hang of it

Downloaded for the iPhone version and it was a little bit difficult to actually figure it out but once I learned, no problem. I actually cannot figure out why people complain so much when it was a little difficult to start yes but once I figured it out it has been smooth sailing. I just wonder if it is the attention span of today’s millennial’s. They want everything done, now. Oh wait no I’m sorry they wanted done now now now. My only complaint is high definition...it is at the lower end of high definition when playing on TV cast. But I am definitely pleased that’s why I gave it a four star. I am now trying to figure out how to play my saved videos on my phone and yes someone could teach me but it’s better that I learn on my own.

Frustrating, aggravating and annoying

This app can be very frustrating and annoying. Some times it runs flawlessly but most of the time it just shuts down in the begging and /or middle and/or end of viewing of your show and that brings on another problem. Even when it works flawlessly you still have to “Cast - Stop - Cast”. It never has and still doesn’t cast on the first go. You always have to cast it close the add select the “no please try again” and only then it will cast. I can deal with that if I only had to do it once but no, it either disconnects or the app just shots down. Then you have to start the app up again , search for your show againg it’s just to much. Some times I think it’s not worth it, it’s just to aggravating. And don’t forget that every time you got it casting again you have fast forward and get to the point where it cut out. I’ll give this app a few more tries, if it continues acting up I’ll just stop using it and look for something else.I though it was time to give you an update. After writing this review the app started to work a lot better. Didn’t even have to do anything different or make any changes. So I’ve raised my star rating. I still do have to cast the show twice (cast, stop, cast) before it will cast.

Best app i could find so far

Okay, I see lots of negative feedbacks here. I don’t understand. This is only app in market which auto-detects videos on websites(saves me for movies online stored on OpenLoad). It bypasses all ads and auto loads video embed url. Also, I couldn’t find any other app with integrated ad blocker. It asks you every time if you want to open or block popup, so you don’t have to bother with crappy ads from which you can’t go backwards to your content. TV app needs to be installed, but as soon as it’s ran, phone finds TV’s IP without problems. Great app anyways, keep up good work devs.

Awesome simple and very convenient

There are a ton of free websites that have free movies that allow you to stream, and this app doesn’t slow down my internet at all! When I use iPhone or iPad mirroring, I always notice that it has a huge impact on everyone in the house and a lot of time I experience lag trying to play a movie. I have a very nice router with mesh coverage, my average speed is 75 mbs. This app is so easy to use with the built in browser and the app on my Samsung smart TV there’s no middle man. I highly recommend this for all iOS users that have newer Samsung TV’s. I am sure if I had a Samsung phone (never) no 3rd party app is needed, but until Apple starts to make 4K OLED televisions under millions of dollars, LOL, this is a great tool and time saver! 👍🏻👍🏻

Is the paid version as buggy as the ad supported version?

I ran a standard browser stream and the TV Cast for Samsung stream of the same show on 2 iPhones. The regular browser never lost sync for 3.5 hours. The TV Cast stream locked after from a few seconds to around 5-6 minutes - never much more.Sometimes exiting the ad would let me re-establish the link. Other times I had to re-start the app on the iPhone, but the TV Cast app on the Samsung smart TV worked throughout. And it always took 3 attempts to establish a link that would display the program - no matter how long I waited between attempts.Will paying for the no-ad version eliminate the glitches? Or would it be a waste of money?

TLDR: Useless download

Samsung makes things incredibly difficult. The screen mirroring on my Samsung “smart” TV doesn’t work and never once has, so I downloaded their recommended phone app I’m reviewing here. Once you download the free app, it immediately fills the screen to ask you to spend money on a pricey subscription. If you want to stream a show on an app, for example because your 2 y/o “smart” Samsung TV doesn’t update or allow you to add apps, this app doesn’t allow it. It gives you the option to cast the last 3 videos on your phone, but I didn’t bother trying so I can’t tell you if that works. If you want to cast older videos, you’ll pay for it. Nowhere in the overcomplicated app is an option to stream a show/movie from an app. Once you leave this app, it immediately disconnects from your TV every time. Samsung puts so much work into making their products look useful when unfortunately they’re all useless beyond your basic needs.

Have to connect 📺 &📱2 WiFi

You have to connect your phone and tv to WiFi to even use anything in this app.... can’t even use the remote without connecting both tv and phone to WiFi. Would be better if they offered a way for u to use the phone as tv remote without having to connect to WiFi like other apps do! I have used multiple other apps and was able to use the remote control on my phone without connecting to anything. But I understand a lot of new phones aren’t able to do it anymore. That’s y I got the phone I did in January when I upgraded so I would still b able to have the capability to connect phone to tv without WiFi. I live on a mountain and WiFi is not available here. Well it is available.... I’ve tried 3 different ones including at&t, Hughes net, and 1 other and none work very well where I live and all were literally as slow or slower than old dial up where ya plugged the cord into house phone jack 😂So sorry to make this so long I jus wish yal wud make it available to use, atleast the remote part of the app if u can’t do it for the mirroring too?? Maby connect via Bluetooth or something idk... hopefully yal will make the app available for those of us who aren’t able to use WiFi! If the apps updated to where I can use without wifi I will rate 5 stars

Waste of time in today’s world

All I can say is I’m super happy that I didn’t pay a dime for this. I don’t like being required to download an app which has been specifically designed to ensure that customers cannot use their own technology the way they want to. In a nutshell, this app allows you to play videos from your camera roll and videos that meet specific criteria, which can only be accessed through a search bar actually built into the app itself. There is no real web-browser feature and no real screen-casting ability at all. If you want that, you’ll need to go buy another app from Samsung or someone else. FYI: All cellphones have very easy-to-use screen casting abilities built into the operating system. This garbage app for Samsung TVs simply limits everything that other devices do natively in today’s world for the sake of nickle and dime-ing customers for functionality that shouldn’t have to be paid for. My advice? Just buy an AppleTV or Chromecast. They do everything that Samsung Smart TVs can do, and more, on any TV at all, without charging again and again for functions that you should have anyway.

Waste of your time!!!

This app needs a ridiculous amount of work. Nothing works as it intended and I did go through the tutorials to make sure I was operating correctly. And every app or add on that should be really simple and work they want you to pay some money for to use, that’s absolutely ridiculous just pulled up to the app that you said it was in make it happen. These developers need to stop trying to get a quick money grab in create a decent app/free app like so many other developers and people will start buying premium items, that is if the base app actually works correctly, which unfortunately this app doesn’t at all it doesn’t even come close. With all the apps out there that can do casting why is this on such a disappointment. Developer stop trying to go a quick money grab an actually create something and then maybe more than 540 people downloaded.
