Description

Cast online videos from your Android device to Roku! This app is intended to help cast videos embedded in websites that don't have a Roku channel.

Install the R-Cast channel and R-Cast app in your Roku and Android devices respectively. Once you connect the devices to the same Wi-Fi network, this app will detect your Roku devices.

Browse the web for videos in the Android app and cast them to the Roku channel. It's that easy!

Please note that not all videos can be cast including HTTPS, Flash videos, live streams. If you see R-Cast channel load the video and return to the home screen it is usually because of incompatible video format. Roku doesn't play all video formats that play in Android devices.

Videos in the web that are not in high definition, might not look the same on your HD TV as they look in a small screen. If the video website already has a Roku channel, please use its channel.

YouTube videos will not cast in Android 4.4 and newer devices, please use the YouTube app.

Quick Start:
* Install R-Cast channel in your Roku device: https://my.roku.com/add/rcast
* Install R-Cast app in your Android device
* Connect your Android device to the same Wi-Fi network as your Roku device
* The app will detect Roku devices in your network
* Browse the web for your favorite entertainment
* In Android 4.3 or earlier, play videos in full view for the cast menu
* In Android 4.4 or later, just start videos to launch the cast menu
* Select the Roku device to cast and voila!
* Enjoy videos on the big screen!!

Upgrade to the RADICAL edition to watch videos longer than 10 minutes and resume previous video casts. The upgrade removes the ads at the bottom of the browser. It doesn't remove the ads hosted by the websites you visit.

Please make sure the websites you frequent play in R-Cast channel before upgrading to the RADICAL Edition. R-Cast channel only works with the R-Cast app.

1 ★ Trying to watch a vid and it keeps asking where I want to watch it, I selecy the correct Roku, it starts playing on the tv, then it asks where I want to watch the video again, then, it restarts all over again. Every 1 min! So infuriating

1 ★ When I first purchased the paid version it worked great now Everytime I try to cast to my tv either it won't give me the option or once I cast it it says error I've tried for a month from different sites the casting feature doesn't work

1 ★ Asks every 2 seconds where I want to cast the video and then stops it to continue to cast it to the same place. Very choppy and I wish I hadn't upgraded before having used it.

1 ★ Stopped working shortly after I paid for full version. Was always crashing. Tried reinstalling but to no avail.

2 ★ This app worked the 1st year I bought it and now it won't work at all. I keep seeing error message on tv

5 ★ Edit: changed the MAC settings on my phone now it detects Roku. Works perfectly now! Sorry about the 2-star rating, turns out it was my phone and not the app lol

3 ★ Thanks for stealing my money!! Once I figured out this horrible layout of an app it worked perfectly for a few months. Now, not so much. It will no longer cast off any site I go to. It's still connected but will cast random videos that's not even on the site I'm looking at. I've re- downloaded everything and re connected everything and still nothing.

1 ★ Paid for and only played video audio for only 4 seconds then it would shutdown! App was uninstalled after refund was requested and returned. Restarted both roku, and phone for best possible chance of workable application use. I'm certainly a techie, and am quite capable of quick easy setups, with most capable of most configurations without issue. i changed my original review because i know Rcast attempted to create a usable app. Respectfully, my initial review and comment was inappropriate.

1 ★ VERY disappointed! As soon as I installed the free version, it wanted me to update and pay for the professional. I did that, and then my phone started crashing and come to find out there was malware and viruses attach this. It did not work at all and I'm very disappointed by the fact that I paid $2.49 for this. I guess there is no refund. it also kept prompting me to purchase the Roku remote, which I already have on my phone. Do NOT install this app!

1 ★ Barely use it now because it such a pain to try and use. I paid for it years ago back when it worked alright. Now it doesn't cast the majority of the time I try to use it.

1 ★ Upgraded to paid, , worked fine for a day, and now it won't work at all

3 ★ There seems to be too many glitches. I wish they had the cast button instead of a pop up because sometimes it doesnt pop up

3 ★ Absolutely worthless and I bought it! only plays the video for 3 seconds and the cuts out and quits very pissed update switching to the 3 stars from 1 star due to their prompt attention to this review and a quick refund. the app has a ton of problems too many to list but they did handle the situation professionally and quick which isn't any more then I could ask for (barring a useable app) the company 10 out of 5 stars though!

3 ★ Not very reliable. Video may start and play for less than 5 seconds then goes right back to the Roku home screen. Or video may play fine fir about 8 minutes before giving me the 10 minute cut off announcement. I would have gladly paid for the upgrade, if the app worked all or even most of the time.

1 ★ It will not allow the program to continue play once it loads. It goes to a main screen for Roku an the cast shuts down.
