LocalCast: stream to TV for Negative User Reviews
✓ Not working on Apple TV 4KEnjoy using this app on other devices but it doesn’t open/crashes on launch using Apple TV. Would gladly buy the pro Version if it was working..Version: 1.2.1
✓ No useful functionalityRead that it could cast video to my TV and allow me to hear audio via headphones. Nope. No settings to divert audio. Waste of money..Version: 1.2.4
✓ I like it except......for some reason it won’t let me upgrade to the pro version. When I tap on “Buy Now” nothing happens. If I could do that then it’s an easy five stars from me!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Waste of $It does not work. It is not able to recognize my chromecast device. Dont waste your funds..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Best features don’t workI’ve owned this for a few years hoping some day that the issues would be solved. The screen mirroring doesn’t work...this is the main reason I purchased this app. The local storage casting doesn’t work for most video formats..Version: 3.1.1
✓ No longer supports google drive videosAnd that was the only reason i had it installed, so i guess it is time to delete it..Version: 1.2.4
✓ I can’t stream Netflix?I’ve been trying to figure out this app. It’s impossible to stream netflix using it? It doesn’t link with my other apps. I bought this so I could re-route the audio from my iPad, but this app has virtually no support. Please help me and I’ll change this to a 5 star rating.Version: 1.2.4
✓ Terrible appDoesn't recognize any video what so ever! Takes for ever to play a video! I dont see the option to hear the music through headphones! Crashes too many times! Hopefully this app gets fixed!.Version: 0.9.1
✓ Does not want to cast videos or music from my dropboxI have this app and I connected to my Dropbox and I clicked on when the MP4 videos it’s Says file type not supported on the MP4 videos and the MP3 music‘s this app is really bad app do not get this app it’s a really crappy app get like a better one and do not get any of the Apps that you need to buy that can support dropbox and do not get allcast because it only gives you a watching time limit for each video.Version: 1.1.5
✓ Doesn’t workDoesn’t work. I tried and it links to google drive and doesn’t work at all. I want a refund please.Version: 1.2.4
✓ Could use some improvementsThe app works fine. Took me a while to get Kodi working but none the less, it works. The menus are kinda simple but simple at first but after using it, the process isn't as intuitive. This app gives off that beta vibe, not a finished product. If you aren't tech savvy, you might find this app a little awkward but this app does more than most other apps which is a plus..Version: 0.9.11
✓ No longer worksCan't see my media. Crashes when Movies selected. Used to work ok. Not at all now: iOS 10..Version: 0.9.4
✓ Ios 11.1Crashing when opening DLNA.Version: 1.1.5
✓ InutileSupposé permettre de garder le son sur le téléphone. Offre rien de plus que les app gratuite..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Not stableQuits on iPhone when trying to log into google drive, on SAMSUNG it is unstable and forgets that it is casting to chrome cast. Have the constantly close out the app and log in again to get to change songs or videos.....and there are too many adverts..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Disappointed!!!Referred to this app to try and stream audio to a different audio device than video. Totally did not deliver on promise. Out of pocket. Would like a refund..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Keep your moneyNot the real app. It’s a rip off..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Doesn’t workWon’t cast to my Samsung Series 6 smart TV or my chromecast audio..Version: 1.2.4
✓ UselessTotal rubbish. Worst ever don’t waste your time . All they want is your money to sort out issues . No support whatsoever. Especially after they have your money . Don’t waste your time . CON MERCHANTS.Version: 1.2.1
✓ TraceyAll of a sudden my cromecast won’t connect to WiFi.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Doesn’t workGoogle drive doesn’t work.Version: 1.2.4
✓ Better than nothing? MaybeThis app will cast exactly one song. It will do continous play within an album or artist, nor will it shuffle at all, even though it boasts that function. Casting one song is better than no songs, because apple and chromecast hate each other, but I can't figure out why this app does the hard part (cast), but can't do what is presumably the easy part, play two songs in a row. I use the app to hear the one song I have a hankering for, then give up. Looking forward to an improvement or alternative..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Doesn’t workNo devices appear when trying to connect..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Simply won't runInstalled. Crashes on opening. Reset phone, uninstalled, reinstalled. Just crashed on opening. Tried on a different iPhone 6, that was fresh from a factory default - still crashes on load. Gave up. This app promised a lot and didn't deliver..Version: 0.9.6
✓ Doesn’t workDoesn’t work waste of money.Version: 1.2.4
✓ SmhWhen I first downloaded this app, it crashed on startup, making it unusable. Now it actually opens, but it can't find a single device to connect to. Do you even test your app before submitting it? 🤦🏻♀️.Version: 1.2.1
✓ UselessTwo issues with the app: 1) description says the app is free but the cost is $3.99 and a pro version is IAP for $0.00. So basically you have to buy the app to test it even though developer says it’s “free and fully functional” in the app description. 2) the app has all sorts of issues. Confusing and hard to figure out. If not giving access to all pics but only select - it does not populate and doesn’t show any files even though I’ve selected several. Had to redownload just to give access to all pics/videos. Then all populated. However, when streaming a video it loops the same video over and over even though I’m selecting different videos to play. I had to restart the app just to play a different video and it happens every time. Developer claims you can play video files in only a couple of formats which is ok but there are zero instructions on how to play video files that are not in your camera roll. I would delete this app in a heart beat but man, having spent $4 just to see how raw and lousy the app is made just breaks my heart..Version: 1.2.4
✓ IOS8 only?Not everyone is on IOS8 so limiting it to IOS8 makes me rate it 1 star..Version: 0.8.2
✓ Does not workWeb videos and google drive do not work. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Doesn’t workDoesn’t work with my dropbox account that’s all I really want to look for to cast it to my Google Chrome.Version: 1.2.0
✓ App crashes all the timeTrying to allow this app to access my google account and it crashes right away. It doesn’t work at all. I have an iPad mini, latest version of iOS..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Paid still charging money doesent workI paid version didnt cast from google drive. Dev response : next version Fixed.. I waited. Next version still no gdrive support. And now it’s charging me money again. Wasted money!! Apple please remove this garbage from the appstore..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Not what was expectedTLDR; no Netflix, not worth at all. Found this app trying to find a way to play Chromecast audio through my Bluetooth device whilst playing the video on the tv. Can’t find a private listening mode which was the whole draw of the app. Also what kind of garbage developer makes the app 5.99 with a premium version for 0.00, yes that’s right. The premium version is free for the low price of 5.99. I downloaded the app the play Netflix and listen though the app doesn’t have any kind of support for other apps so unless you can watch it on their browser which doesn’t support streaming Netflix from their website this app is useless. Though it does have the nice feature of being able to stream content from your camera roll onto your tv, though for 5.99... yikes. Some other good things I see is that it can stream Instagram, Dropbox and google drive content though I’m not sure if you could do so already without the app..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Does not work. Sketchy privacy.Does not work with Chromecast 2020 & iOS 14. Also when signing up for Google Drive the app needs access to all your files, but there is a warning from Apple about this developer's privacy practices. ToS available only in German. Bought this app but immediately deleted it. Sketchy..Version: 1.2.4
✓ RippedTry to use with chromecast but all I get is logo same as others!! Might just be something I am doing but developer does not respond with support!! Waste of time and money then..... Buyer beware.Version: 1.2.4
✓ App doesnt workWaste of 7 dollars, didnt work at all.Version: 1.2.4
✓ FailDoesn’t work.Version: 3.1.1
✓ On IPad 4 (ios10) - local media only - BewareI bought this to cast from my media server. The option is not offered in the app - only local photos and videos. The interface is unlike those in the images in description. Refunded by Apple.Version: 1.2.4
✓ No option to play audio on phone.I was looking at multiple web articles on how to play audio on phone while watching on tv and they recommended Localcast. However there was no trial period to make sure this would work. The iphone app store made it an immediate purchase. There was no option to play the audio on my phone. There should be a way to confirm way to confirm before buying. It was a waste of money..Version: 1.2.4
✓ DLNA does not work??Not working at all - everything is setup and still nothing.......Version: 0.9.1
✓ Pas fort...Absolument aucun résultat et la page web de l’app est un site de casino??? Payer pour apprendre....Version: 1.2.4
✓ Just false advertisementYou are going to see lots and lots of websites recommending this app. The icon just gives you the impression. The app is made by google. All the UI and layout also mimics google in order to make you believe it’s a trusted app, it is not. I just don’t know why apple doesn’t take this app down..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Should have read the reviews first!Terrible app. I fell into the trap, like others mention, where I saw comments about using this app and how great it was online. It’s terrible! Doesn’t do anything! I wanted to use it to stream video via chromecast and audio to a Bluetooth stereo. There is no options to do anything, other than use it for your pictures or videos you recorded. Apple should take this app down. It is not as advertised and they steal your money! I’ve tried contacting the app developer and no response. He must need $5.49 more than I do, so considering it a donation..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Decent but still having some issuesFundamentally this thing works ok, it'll connect to my cloud device and cast things to the tv. However, there are still core issues that need to be resolved: it will randomly crash mid stream, and if the app times out, reconnecting to the tv stops your stream and you have to restart your video. Still usable but I'd love this app to have the kinks worked out..Version: 0.9.11
✓ NOT WORKING ON IOS14The app immediately closes upon launch. So if you are thinking about getting it, don’t!! The devs need to put in some work here..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Unusable in its current stateAs per the title. Ads block the menu below which makes it unusable. I cannot connect to my NAS drive like I did previously..Version: 0.9.4
✓ Constantly crashing on my iPhone.It doesn’t do what it says it should..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Nope, still won't connect after latest update!!Under the tab "DNLA/Upnp" your app used to connect fine to my "WDMyCloud" drive it used to work great until you redesigned the look awhile back and broke something. Now under "DNLA/Upnp" it still sees my WDMyCloud drive and it shows icons of content including all the photos, videos & music on my drive. BUT it will NOT play anything anymore. When a video or music or photo there is clicked now it says "NOT connected, touch the amber button in the lower right to connect." So then I do that and it just forever reads "Scanning network for devices...". It stays stuck there forever & thus is not working now. It used to work fine & was great until the latest recent updates, (thank goodness your Apple TV app still works). The new iPhone app design looks very nice but since it broke the app from playing anything that it still sees and shows on my drive but will not play any of it then what's the point of having it if it shows the contents but won't play any of it anymore now. (Maybe go back to the simpler design at least it worked then.) Please fix ASAP and then I will reconsider the review, thanks..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Wow complete lie and does not connectI didn’t look at the reviews before purchasing but once online you can see it is a scam to buy this app. It does not route audio as it claims and does not do several other things. Reviews on the google play website say a little more of others experience.Version: 1.2.4
✓ Great app, but need some fixesWorks great, almost everything i needed! Some features like subtitle (.str) isnt working and the app crashes when loading the ad..Version: 0.8.5
✓ Apple TV not showingPretty good but Apple TV is not showing up under devices after many attempts. Would be 5 stars and a purchase if it was working like advertised.Version: 1.1.2
✓ So brokenThis app is so broken - don’t bother buying it. So slow, plays wrong files, plays the same file over and over when you’re selecting different files. Really a shame that a $5 app is so underdeveloped..Version: 1.2.4
✓ RubbishI want my money back. Tried to play a video from Google Drive. Message said “Chromecast doesn’t support this”. So it is in fact less than useless. DON’T BUY.Version: 1.2.4
✓ It launches next video on its ownWhile playing a video, if i bring the app to foreground, the app automatically stops the current video and starts the next video in my local nas drive folder. It should not start any video without user action. Otherwise good. Thanks..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Google Drive won’t Cast videosUsed to work a couple years ago now every video brings up an error. It’s the only reason I need this app, which is why I give it one star..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Doesn’t workSame as others. This is marketed to be able to cast to TV and listen via headphones from device. There doesn’t appear to be any way to do this and that’s all I wanted it for. I want my money back..Version: 1.2.4
✓ NopeCrashed on photos. no video..Version: 0.8.4
✓ Doesn't workI'm pretty comfortable with tech, but simply put-this doesn't work with any of my media. I am running a Plex media server which plays absolutely any format I throw at it via my Chromecast. I was certainly excited to learn that I would be able to run my files via the LocalCast app and have the video stream via the TV and have the audio streaming through my connected Blutetooth headphones. This did not happen. It tried a number of files but to no avail. Extremely disappointing..Version: 0.9.11
✓ A total wasteUseless app. There’s nothing this app can do that you don’t get with a native chromecast app. It was advertised that the app can play the audio locally on the device and it doesn’t not. A wast of $5.Version: 1.2.4
✓ IssuesDoesn’t play next video in the queue — free version is $7.99 pro is Free why?.Version: 1.2.4
✓ Doesn’t workInstalled So I could stream itv live to my smart TV It would load live tv In The app.Version: 1.2.4
✓ UselessCan’t play any videos from my iPhone.Version: 1.2.4
✓ GimmickyNot at all what I was expecting. Bought this for the sole purpose of rerouting audio back to phone so I could use headphones when watching YouTube videos, listening to music. Turns out you can’t even do that, not to mention the layout is a mess and doesn’t really do anything on top of what the Chromecast already does..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Screen mirroring does not workAgree with the other reviews attesting to the screen mirroring not working. Since the main reason I bought the app was to stream streaming services onto Chromecast, the app is useless to me. My guess is the streaming feature may’ve worked in the past but a Chromecast or iOS update broke it..Version: 3.1.1
✓ TerribleDoesn't work on iOS 9.1 on iPad Pro just keeps crashing and won't load..Version: 0.9.1
✓ Refund demandedThis is not working the way it was said it is supposed to. I am politely asking for a refund as this has no use for me. Will wait for your response..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Doesn't work since the updateI used this app all the time (paid version) but since the recent update it opens then shuts straight down again. I've restarted iPad, reloaded app, updated iOS. Etc. Another iPad has older version which works fine. So will have to find another app..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Garbage!Has a shuffle option, takes a few minutes to make a shuffle mix, then plays all the songs in the original order! Can’t pause or stop or do anything. Takes ages to play a song! Thoroughly disappointing.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Doesn’t work at allI was referred to this app but it doesn’t work at all on my IOS 11.4 unfortunately. It just keeps toggling for scanning devices and yes both my Roku and iPhone SE are connected to the same WiFi. It also crashes every time I tried to access Google drive and Dropbox so I had to delete it and will be searching for another app now..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Not good at the momentCrashes on Apple TV when browsing photos, and is slooooooooow. Like opening a folder on my nas with 20 pics in it, it took about 1 minute to bring up 7 thumbnails then crashed. Tried 'casting' from my iPad, one photo showed up, then when trying to swipe to next photo it crashed the iPad app. iPad app only opens in portrait too. Needs a lot of work... This is maybe an early alpha release..?.Version: 0.9.1
✓ Can’t find “Route audio to phone” featureI installed this app because it has the route audio from Chromecast to phone feature but don’t see it being available anywhere on the app.Version: 1.2.4
✓ Can't use...Can't use...downloaded on to iPhone 5SE...keeps 'scanning for devices' but cannot 'find' my TV...disappointed (Oct 2017).Version: 1.1.8
✓ Do Not Purchase!I literally couldn’t get a single video from my Google Drive to play. False advertising. Bad app!.Version: 1.2.4
✓ Bad Poor and doesn’t deserve your moneyI bought this app few days ago as I want cast videos to tv and listen from my earphones. Some sites in google claimed this app will help. This is not true it only displays photos and videos from your phone and you cannot separate the audio. In addition it takes the money for pro version and you cannot access it. I emailed the developer more than one time with no response. The rating of 3.9 in app store looks like manipulated and not true. No refund offer. Save your money..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Great idea for an appThis really is a great idea, and it does work well. Unfortunately, it has some bugs. I hope these bugs will be fixed in a future version. Specifically, the ability to fast forward / rewind (video scrubbing). I did not test this with all videos, but his feature did not work when I played videos from my google drive..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Does not support DropboxVideos cannot be played from Dropbox . Pretty much a waste of time without this facility..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Doesn’t workI bought it with the intent to cast shows and movies from my google drive and desktop onto my tv and it can’t even do that. It just makes the screen go black for like a second then shows the cast logo.Version: 3.1.1
✓ HorribleSpent 8.99 on possibly the worsting casting app out there. Bought it because of the review for audio options. Refund please or please work on this app. The worst.Version: 1.2.4
✓ Can’t find my Apple TV :/So I wanted to try to cast to my Apple TV from my iPhone but for some reason it couldn’t find my Apple TV device. I tried all troubleshooting steps within the FAQ, but nothing worked. Please fix :/.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Easy to use and super fast but...This app was perfect but then I tried streaming a movie from my DLNA NAS and the audio didn't work. Streaming 1080p over to my chromecast was so fast! No lag and no precahing! :) wish more codecs were supported though. As a result, no pro purchase..Version: 0.8.5
✓ It's goodIt's good but landscape needed on iPad.Version: 0.8.7
✓ Worst app everA real rip off it doesnt work at all and they dont want to refund.Version: 1.2.4
✓ No supportSpent the $7 in-app purchase to find it still only plays a single song from playlist to chromecast then stops. Emailed support, no answer. Not happy with this, wouldn't recommend at this point..Version: 0.9.11
✓ Awful. Didn’t play mp4s on my DropboxI was robbed $7.Version: 1.2.4
✓ Audio routingI got this specific app to split video and audio to my phone and tv respectively, it does not work, wasted my money.Version: 1.2.4
✓ IOS is a jokeCan’t believe I paid for this but I was desperate a solution this particular app offered. Constant crashes, layout not even accommodating to iPhones made in the last few years. Solution turned out to be Android-only which was my bad for not reading that detail. Bugs everywhere. While trying to stream I was somehow prompted to activate another “upgrade” for $0, but just opted to stay away from the app as a whole. This is not even alpha-testing worthy, let alone pay-tier..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Not good for moviesTried playing a movie out of my personal library and either it paused or crashed every few minutes. After restarting the movie multiple times and getting frustrated I just downloaded another app that worked a million times better; and the other app had 10x faster optimization of the video. Not being able to modify your queue is not good.Version: 1.2.3
✓ Keeps losing Chromecast connectionPlayback of the playlist stops after a couple of tracks. Then have to reconnect with the Chromecast..Version: 0.9.9
✓ Pure crapDoesn't work. Crashes often. Everything days it doesn't support format..Version: 0.8.5
✓ You got rid of the audio extractionNow it's useless without audio extraction and chromecast works with all the apps that it naturally is hosted on..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Not helpful for using apps with headphonesYou need to have downloaded content on your device, I wanted to cast to tv and listen through headphones,this will do this but not while streaming through an app like Netflix. (I thought web video would allow Netflix) There was no free version thus the 1 star review since I wasted my money and a trial would have told me this was not going to solve my issue, I wish I could return the app….I was going to change my review since streaming from Dropbox could be useful, but it does not support mp4 format, also tried web video that also did not work…..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Does not cast DropboxAfter paying for this app I discovered that it will not cast photos from Dropbox. It can open Dropbox and access the photos but will not cast them. The error message is “file type not supported” even though many of the photos are .jpg. I am using it on my apple 10 iPhone and my up to date apple iPads. The app has not been updated in 11 months even though apple has made several os changes in that period of time..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Doesn't work wellI streamed music from my Google Drive just fine, but showing pictures and videos from my iPhone didn't work. Too many ads and not enough of what the app is supposed to do. If they would work it all out I would purchase an ad-free version..Version: 0.9.11
✓ RubbishI bought this app to keep the audio to a chrome cast playing on my phone, the app says this ‘kinda works’, well that’s an exaggeration..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Doesn’t workTrying to use with chrome cast and all I can get is the app logo on my TV screen .. ok if you want an object lesson in zen for the evening, not good if you are trying to load your iPhone screen on the TV.Version: 1.2.4
✓ Should have read reviewsI’m not going to recite the things others have said. I bought the app without reading reviews because of the number of stars. I’m giving it 3 stars because at least it seems to work OK for local pics on my phone. Hoping the developer can fix everything as it’s a great idea..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Terrible appWhy does it completely reorder all the photos in your camera roll making it impossible to find what you are looking for.Version: 1.2.4
