Cast Web Videos to TV - iWebTV

I’ve owned the paid version now for almost a year. I use this app 3-5 days a week. I don’t usually write reviews nor do I give full 5 stars because there’s always something to keep up with to stay on top. And yes, the last update does have some glitches that need to be flushed out, but so it’s the case with all of the other apps out there. Those of you unhappy with this app that gave it less than 3 stars, I’d first check what you may be doing on your end that isn’t helping or causing the problem and call customer service. I say this because I have owned and compared iWebTV to, Webcast, Tubio, Tvcast, SmartCast, Castbox, amongst others that I tried and paid for their “paid version.” When you compare apples to apples, this one comes by far ahead of the others specially in the main features; cost to paid version, and reliability of casting to different devices (Roku, chrome cast, Apple TV, fire stick, and many, many stand-alone TV brands). Yes, there are other apps that have other functions that I also like that this one doesn’t have, but overall this one works best for me.

I purchase and download a lot of educational web videos, and needed a way to project them to our TV using my existing ROKU devices, so my wife could view them with me. I started out with the free version on my iPad, but recently went ahead and purchased the full features. The only issue I have is, I have to toggle my WIFI or Airplane Mode, on my iPad, OFF and ON in order for the app to pick up my ROKU devices. It’s probably due to my wireless network setup. It’s no big deal, as I’ve gotten into the habit of doing this anytime I prepare to watch videos, and everything then works flawlessly. It’s an awesome app with excellent capability. It saved me from having to purchase additional streaming equipment compatible with my iPad-furnished proprietary app, as I don’t need an additional streaming device.

Works well at what it is supposed to - it casts to the TV. You search for everything in the app. It acts as a browser like safari, but then you add videos to the queue if you want to watch them. This queue feature is super helpful when you're wanting to binge something. There's a small banner at the banner if you don't pay the $3 to remove it, but it's not obtrusive, and it's also not super expensive to remove. It does give you a notification at the top of the screen if you leave the app (or turn off the display), telling you to "return when convenient" as it needs the app open to avoid buffering. It does stop playing if you don't return to the app every so often, so it's quite as great as actual casting, but overall it's useable. Other than the small banner, no intrusive pop up ads or anything annoying like that. Works for how I need it to work! Recommended if you just need something easy to cast videos from the web that don't already support this.

Many months of great usage and as flawless as an app can be when utilizing others servers as the source. Then the brick wall, we attempted to access the app on our Apple TV and there it was, the blank screen and no ability to play from the iPhone app. We've attempted to delete and reinstall the app, reset the Apple TV, and restart the Apple TV but to no avail. Unfortunately an issue has cropped up and we are left with an unusable application. It was good while it lasted. App started working shortly after response. Thank you. 6/6- For 4 days now the Roku streaming option has not worked. Will connect to ATV4 no issues. Roku on the other hand will not. Gives three Roku devices to choose from (I only have one) and blank on the screen connect. Removed & Uninstalled on iPhone and Roku to no avail. This up and down working app we've paid for add-ons is getting old and is a reason why a developer is liable to swoop in and push your app out in the near future. Updates are breaking your app, test before releasing.

This is the best app I’ve ever come across since apps were made! You can watch any channel, any movie, anything you could possibly think of at anytime! With or without the paid version! The paid version is great because it gets rid of the banner! But even with the banner you can still watch whatever you want. You just have the little “distraction”. I just upgraded to the paid version. $7.72 one time fee that’s good for life! I’ll never pay $150/mth for cable again! You save so much money, time and effort with this app! It’s absolutely amazing and deserves 5 stars hands down! My first time doing a review but it was definitely necessary to give the creators their credit for this amazing app! I love it and have never been more satisfied with anything! Thank you to the creators!!!!!!
