WebCast TV for Chromecast

I love this app a lot, and have been using it to watch movies online and they’ve been very useful since I don’t have cable. 2 years have I been using it and nothing seemed to have gone wrong until a couple of weeks ago when I played a movie and it was scratchy throughout the entire film. It would barely do that in the past but now it’s continuing to do so. If there is a setting I need to fix, or something I can do to stop it being so scratchy, please let me know.

Of all the apps I’ve downloaded (Castio, AllCast, VideoCast, etc.), WebCast is by far the most superior! All of the basic features you need are there from the get go. The interface is clean with the ability to conveniently cast the media file with just a tap on the convenient Play Now pop up. No need for the ‘detect media file’ nonsense from other apps. This app’s browser also allows multiple tabs, bookmarks and favorites on the Home Screen which is really hard to find in other Casting apps available on iOS. The only things I hope the devs improve upon is the website AdBlocker and to add the ability to cast the media’s subtitles or allow us to load subtitles from our local files or from a URL. If they add those features in the future, WebCast will no doubt be the greatest Casting App on the App Store.

I’ve tried aaaall the web casting apps and this is the ONLY one that functions properly, without pop ups and without crazy banners floating around. Doesn’t take a million clicks just to cast one video. Works on every streaming site I’ve been on so far. And you can leave the app without interrupting the cast. It’s clean, simple, and easy to use. You can keep looking but I promise you nothing will compare to this one.

Fantastic app! I used Castio for over a year but it did not detect videos very successfully and videos took a long time to load. Recently, I was switching to Cast TV | Chromecast and, while its performance was better, it required a lot of in-app purchases to extend beyond very basic functionality. This is typically not a problem for me, but I did not like that the design and interface was mediocre at best. This app is not only magnificently functional, but it comes with every feature unlocked. I don’t mind some reasonable publicity or paying a reasonable price for an ad-free version. In addition, this app offers great playback controls, bookmarks, tabs, short video loading times, and has a pleasant design. So far, I highly recommend it.

It’s not even close. Has every feature offered by all the others, and Webcast is free not freemium like the rest. Webcast gets a small, small ding for its inferior ad blocker, which needs more frequent filter updates, or at least an ability to piggyback on filters downloaded from ad block apps and employed via iPhone’s Safari content blocker settings.
