Google Chromecast review: a super streamer you can't ignore
Google has once again proved that it has the smarts to make streaming work. The new design is fun but functional, the new app more responsive and, for the most part, a joy to use. But the best thing about the Chromecast is the price - at a snip under ￡30, it is one of the cheapest ways to stream and...- Great new design
- Easy to set up
- Search needs improvement
- More apps needed
Chromecast 2
The original Chromecast is viewed by many as one of the best streaming devices on the market. The tiny stick let users stream video from their smartphone or tablet to any TV or monitor with an HDMI cable – and cost a piddly ￡30.- Still great value for money
- Added 5GHz Wi-Fi support
- Compact design
- Enhanced Chromecast companion app
- Many features not active in the UK
- Gaming is weak currently
What we wanted
Purchased for use in a public work space, exactly what we wanted.
Google Chromecast (2015) review: This or the Ultra?
The Google Chromecast is a cheap way to make your TV smart, but should you buy the Chromecast Ultra instead?
A little unclear why I had not had it before. A very good product. Broad support for many video services. Very stable. Easy to use. If you notice something, maybe it may be a little confusing that it will continue to play even if you quit the streaming app on your phone.
Google Chromecasts
Google products are generally pretty reliable and usable. This product is no exceptions. Simple to use. Could use a little more integration to other services like Roku offers.- cost when on sale
- integration with google home
- limited content
Cutting the cord
This is the third one I have bought and it is a great product. This made cutting the cord much easier. We stream Netflix, Hulu and use YouTube TV instead of the cable.
Google Chromecast review
It's surprisingly difficult to put a web browser on TV. It's difficult for regular people - the best option is often just plugging in a laptop - and it's been ridiculously difficult for the tech...- Inexpensive and simple
- Supported apps work well
- Chrome tab casting is very useful
- App support limited to Netflix
- YouTube
- and Google Play
- Tab casting video drops frames
- No central playback controls
Google announced its Chromecast media streaming device last week and immediately caused quite a stir amongst technology enthusiasts. Not only was the Chromecast seemingly easy to use, but its low $35 price point made it attainable by virtually anyone.
