Description
Watch any web-video, online movie, livestream or live tv show on your LG Smart TV. Enjoy the show on your big screen with the no#1 web video streamer.
With Video & TV Cast for LG Smart TV you can browse the web and stream any web video, online movie, livestream or live tv show you want on your LG Smart TV. Mp4, m3u8, hls livestreams and also video-over-https are supported.
There is no time limit at all! You can watch videos of 2 minutes or 2 hours or even more. Just open Video & TV Cast, navigate to a website, wait for link detection and send the video with a single tap to your LG Smart TV. The discovered link will be shown below the browser. A tap on the link will start the show. You don't need to install a big media server like Plex or any other third party software.
>>> Important Notes
* To enable video casting please open the LG App Store (LG Smart World / LG Content Store) on your TV, search for 'TV Cast' and install the companion app.
* Please enter the ip-address of your iPhone/iPad by using the number pad and up/down/left/right keys on your TV Remote or scroll wheel on your Magic Remote. Just enter the numbers, no need to press the enter key.
* iTunes movies, Flash video and DRM protected videos like Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, DirecTV, Xfinity, HBO now are not supported!
* Please test your favorite videos with the free edition before upgrading!
* Please use the hardware remote of your LG for controlling the TV app and video playback.
* The app streams only the video part of a website and not the whole website content (No screen or tab mirroring!).
* Sometimes it is necessary to play the video on your iPad or iPhone first before it gets discovered by the app for streaming. It may also be neccessary to start casting multiple times until it works with specific videos.
* If a specific video is not working, please check the FAQ on the app startpage. If that does not help you, please drop us an email before leaving a negative comment on the App Store. We will try to add support for that website as soon as possible.
>>> UPGRADE FEATURES (available as in-app purchases)
* Premium Edition: Unlocks all of the features listed here. Also future features are included, so you do not have to pay for them when they are released in an updated app version.
* Remote Playbar: Use the Playbar for advanced video control while browsing, including video scrubbing, forward, rewind, play, pause, stop. The playbar works on all LG Smart TVs.
* Local Videos: Cast your camera roll videos from an iPhone or iPad. Supports mp4, m4v and mov videos that were saved to the camera roll via Apples SD-Card/USB Adapter, iTunes Desktop Software or third party apps.
* Ad-Blocker: Blocks ads & popups on most websites and removes the sponsoring ads from the app. You can update and enable/disable ad-blocking at any time in the settings.
* Bookmarks: Save unlimited website bookmarks. Synchronize and transfer them between different TV Cast apps and iOS devices by using backup and restore via iCloud.
* Desktop Mode: Change the browser user-agent and cloak your iPhone/iPad as a desktop PC to load the desktop website instead of a mobile website. Please note that this will NOT enable video casting on websites that serve Flash videos in desktop mode.

Awful
You can’t mirror your phone. You can only show 3 videos from your phone for free. It’s a terrible app and is very non-user friendly
2019-04-11
App
Only casts adds to tv
2019-04-10
Doesn’t work
Utter garbage.

Many thanks for this app.

Tv Cast - Very difficult to install. Keep getting message to purchase other apps before it will work
Very frustrating trying to navigate around the installation. Been trying time & time again but with no success.
2019-04-01
Amazing
No complaints apart from some links don’t open because of ads but more so the links fault rather than the app
2019-03-31
Good in theory bad in practice!!
I downloaded this app to connect to my LG tv to watch a box set.
It’s glitchy and frustrating as hell. (An understatement)
You might as well just draw a picture on some paper with crayons an stare at it for 30 minutes, cos it’s more than you’ll get from using this app 😂😂😂😂

Would not recommend
Photo Showcase is very hot and miss !!!
Very frustrating to use.
Would not recommend

Amazing! Works perfectly
Was hesitant before downloading this, but after months of trying to find a casting service, this works perfectly!! Thank you
2019-03-09
Maybe they should have asked someone with IT experience....
Probably the most frustrating, revenue orientated implementation I have struggled with. In the last 20 minutes I have been unable to watch ant any golf while being bombarded with adverts through video and pages on iPad. Rubbish, wait until they have sorted out this mess mess before paying money...
2019-03-06
Terrible
Hardly even works

Unhappy
Crap has stoped working for no reason

Amazing
Just follow the instructions and it works wonderfully

Useless
Couldn’t get it to work, how do I cancel my payment?
2019-02-10
Glitchy
Super slow and glitchy.
2019-02-09
Does the job!
I wish this was available on the macbook because it’s literally the best app
2019-02-03
It works but no subtitles
Seemingly works after opening and closing both apps a couple times after first install but the main issue is that it doesn't support subtitles casting. A real shame.

Worst streaming app I’ve encountered
So disappointing the app can connect to the tv but won’t stream the video. Leaving me with endless buffering. The amount of pop up ads is unbearable. Avoid this app like the plague, all of these other positive reviews are pure lies.

Utter garbage
These guys must be coining it with all the ads that pop up all the time. Plus you have to buy a “package” to stream more than 3 videos. Uninstalled immediately.
2019-01-18
Great app
Very easy to set up and works great , from my iPhone. Thanks
2019-01-13
Pretty poor really
Disappointed and haven’t really used after figuring out what it did.
Doesn’t actually cast your screen. And the one the TV itself it just opens up in a window.
Apple stops you using casting screen unless you fork out for Apple TV.
Now Amazon have stopped screen sharing with the latest fire HD tablet.
If manufacturers continue to deny consumers what they want, they risk a backlash.

Needs BT Sports
I want to stream BT Sports on my tv from my mobile as I have a BT Sport mobile plan. You can’t watch live BT Sports on the tv, as the website doesn’t allow you.
Pls fix this.
Overall this app is amazing, YouTube works really well in this app, I’m loving it.
Just fix the live streaming problem on BT Sports thx

It’s Great
My mum used to say Something is better then nothing 🤫
2019-01-03
Doesn’t work
I play the video on the bottom right of my screen and on my LG tv, on the cast app there is just a black screen and no video and to much ads.

Ace
Does exactly what it should and so easy to use :)
2019-01-01
Poor UI and functions
The app is poorly designed and it’s functions are not very intuitive.
The app with its poor GUI, hyperlinks and ad looks more like one of those obviously fake/scam websites.
Instead of having a wall of text for instructions, why not just design it better? If you just make this app better, people would be more inclined to pay for it.
2018-12-29
Unhelpful
I have been trying to enter in the IP address it has three digits on the last number on my TV. I don’t know what to do about it
2018-12-29
Brilliant!!
So easy to use and works amazingly well!!!
2018-12-26
Recently Constantly buffering. No way to cast.
We were successfully using this app for last 6 months. Last few days we started not to cast. But saying buffering constantly.
Any solution for this?
2018-12-24
Brilliant
Works perfectly , thankyou

Just what I needed 👍

Tv cast
Won’t cast to my tv constantly buffering. Not worth the download
2018-12-10
Absolutely useless
Don’t want to waste any more time on this. Might have worked a couple of years ago, now obsolete.
2018-12-10
Great!
Great!
2018-12-09
Great!
This is the only app I have found that works the way it should with my LG TV, my wifi is nothing special and this works seamlessly, no lag whatsoever. Great app, one of the few I have paid for the premium version and its been worth it.
2018-12-04
Decent when it feels like it
Just buffers when casting. Sometimes feels like loading the movie in other times no reason just doesn’t want to I guess. Two different TV and two different phones with the app. Temperamental
2018-12-04
Contary Opinion
I took a chance on this after reading the previous comments but to my surprise it works perfectly fine. It’s a little clunky in operation agreed but it does the job well when you have the app on the TV and follow the instructions re entering IP address on the TV screen.
