Google Chromecast is a digital media player that allows you to display iOS video, photos, pictures and other media content from supported apps on your big-screen High Definition TV, using your iOS device as a remote control. You can also send content straight from a Chrome Web browser on your computer. There are hundreds of apps that take advantage of this unique technology, which Google calls "casting," to offer a new way to link your mobile device and your TV.

This app can also stream video files stored on the Internet, though not ones embedded in web pages. For example, you can go to OneDrive, get a link to a video, and play it by opening that link in LocalCast.

One of the best uses of this software is to tie it with a cloud storage service, as it can stream video straight off Google Drive and Box. This means that someone can keep their movie collection online, and then use LocalCast to send it to their TV without taking up space on their iPad.

If you opt for the $0.99 enable Playbar option, it provides a useful controller that can be used to pause, rewind, fast-forward and stop videos, even those on the web.

Top 3. CastNow for Chromecast

Top 4. Videostream Mobile

Videostream lets you stream local videos from your computer to your Chromecast or Android TV in full HD and this iPhone/iPad app will remote control video stream.



This app supports Android TV, subtitles, Mp3 streaming, photo display, 1080p streaming and support for MP4, AVI and MKV files etc.
