Interesting browser casting app! Some request to improve funtions. 1. user inputs the url by keyboard, 2. Setting by touch screen is a bit senstive, setting circle needs to be bigger.

Very clever, but Google complains that I'm using an outdated version of Chrome, which does not inspire confidence.

This makes up for the lack of the casting function in Chrome. Great work! BUT PLEASE IMPROVE THE LAG IN PINCH TO ZOOM.

Cursor precision needs a lot of work.Please keep working on the app as it could become one of the best Chromecast apps in the future. Can you please add an option to use the phone's screen as a touchpad for the cursor?

Love the idea that you can surf using chromecast. One thing comes to mind to make it better. That is to add a home button that takes the app back to the Google search screen.

This is great. The only things I'd add would be more voice integration and I also have trouble loosing the connection to my Chromecast.

Can't remember the last time I was excited about an app! This is a very promising TV Internet browsing solution. My only complaint is that the cursor is too sensitive. Anyway we could control the sensitivity?

The Web cast puts up the Google Web page, but you can not do anything with it. The phone has nothing but a black screen and a Web address. It will go up and down, but not left or right and there is no keyboard to type in addresses or search terms. Uninstalling.

Really difficult to set up and you already have to mirror to do it. Can't see the point
