“Takes many tries — I have to watch a lot of ads in order to get it to cast one episode. To try and cast another is also a big headache but I don’t know of an alternate app so I keep trying.”

Independent evidence report
Evidence and review signals
This is where the page changes from an app-store listing into an evidence report: findings, important reviews, pricing and a dated history.
What we measured
Each line is a measurement published as a measurement, never a verdict.
Each line is a measurement, published as a measurement. Where we have not looked, the line says so rather than reading as a zero.

Themes reported by reviewers
No theme reported
Counted from the reviews we have read for this app. "No theme reported" means no theme reached our reporting threshold — it is not a finding that nothing is wrong with this app, and we do not say it is.
Five-star share of ratings
Under 65% five-star
Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.
In the package we scanned
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence about the app, not a finding about it.

Representative public review excerpts shown as user reports, not Appworthy audit evidence.
“Not user friendly, constant ads, then “content not supported” — I had to Google how to even get this to work since the app on the tv looks like it’s just frozen on a QR code that asks me to buy another version of the “free” app. In trying…”
“No audio. Just ads with no outcome — No audio. Just forced ads with promise to load video with no actual outcome. Stuck in a repetitive loop cycle of watch an ad to load again. 👎🏼👎🏼”
