What TV Cast does and who it suits
TV Cast: Chromecast Smart View moves content from a phone to a TV over a local network. It uses DLNA to find devices and send files, and the listing says it works with Chromecast and Samsung Smart View TVs as well as the Miracast, AirPlay and Screencast names.
It is aimed at people who want to watch their own photos, videos, music or presentations on a bigger screen. The listing describes it for movies, games and pictures alike, so the same app covers a video on the couch and a slideshow of holiday photos.
Finding a TV and connecting over Wi-Fi
When you open the app, it scans for TVs nearby and lists the ones it finds. You pick the TV from that list and the connection starts from there.
Both the phone and the TV have to be on the same Wi-Fi network. The listing also says to turn off any VPN before casting, since a VPN can keep the phone from seeing the TV.
Sending photos, videos, music and slides from storage
The app scans the phone's local storage and any SD card for media. It lists audio files, video, photos and PPT or slide presentations, so you can pick a file and send it straight to the TV.
This covers personal files rather than streaming services. A photo album, a home video or a presentation saved on the phone can be shown on the TV with no cable.
Screen casting and wireless display
Beyond single files, the app casts the phone's screen to the TV. The listing uses the labels Screencast, Miracast and AirPlay for this, and says the wireless display has low latency.
Screen casting is what you would use for a game or an app that is not a saved file. The listing does not describe a cable or any hardware beyond a phone and a TV on the same network.
Controlling playback from the phone
The app includes a TV remote control function. Once a video is playing on the TV, the phone can control playback from the app.
The listing also mentions several video playback modes, which change how a video plays on the TV. It does not name the modes individually, so the exact options are not listed here.
