Watch Web-Videos on your Chromecast device!
* With CastNow Browser you can surf the web and stream all MPEG4 videos directly to your chromecast device (ONLY the videos (!!!), not the whole browser tab content)

+ Full browser with tabs and bookmarks
+ Automatically detects any MPEG4 videos
+ Cast videos to your chromecast (if compatible) and watch them in full resolution
+ Works with videos of many streaming providers

NOTE: You need to have a chromecast device to get all benefits of this app.

NOTE 2: Some users complain, that they dont see the browser content on their TV. Thats correct, this app does not mirror the whole website, only compatible videos can be casted to your TV)

** Some video websites added various protection mechansim when embedding videos in their webpages, which makes it impossible to detect those videos by CastNow. But there are still a lot of sites which work very well.

PLEASE: if this app doesnt work with a particular website, please drop us a note on our support page, before leaving a negative comment on the App Store. We can then add support for that website easily. (if it contains videos in a Chromecast-compatible format. Flash videos are not supported by Chromecast in any case)

Pros and cons of CastNow Browser for Chromecast app for iPhone and iPad

CastNow Browser for Chromecast app good for

It is a nice app and it work well under ios7. BUT please provide a support for ios8 aswell!!!
Good app. I was looking for an app like this and it works perfectly. No lag and no interruption. Love it !
Does it need tweeking by the developer , yes , but after reading his web page and learning the app, I can truly say this app is amazing. I have it a preemptive 5 star. Best 1$ I ever spent.
It could be a lot cleaner and less buggy but it does work. On its own its a 3 star, but its one of if not the only working option so Ill give it 4 stars just based on that.
Its skittle tricky to get videos restarted after viewing them once.

Some bad moments

it really sucks your application give me the lines of code that I do something, more charges you you are crooks. you are wasting time
Screen stays stuck at Castnow, nothing happens. Too bad, hoped it would work.
Doesnt work at all. I want my money back. How does Apple allow an app like this to be sold through their App Store??
Do not buy. App crashes, does not allow casting of any video! Waste of money. Try Videoweb.
This developer posted this app on here, charged everyone money, but it never works! And when negative comments are posted on here about it, he makes some little so-called Update and deletes the negative reviews. Cause there sure arent any positives to this lousy app. The App Store should remove this embarrassment already.
Dont buy this, youre wasting your money. Does not work at all.
