Firecast
Install "Firecast Player" in your Fire TV or Fire TV Stick and then install this "Firecast" app in your Android device. Once you connect the devices to the same Wi-Fi network, this app will detect the Fire TV.
Browse the web for videos in the Firecast app and cast them to the Firecast Player in your Fire TV or Fire TV Stick. It's that easy!
Please note that not all videos can be cast (like Flash videos, live streams, etc). Videos in the web that are not in high definition, might not look the same on your HD TV as they look in a small screen.
UPDATE 7/30/14: YouTube videos will not cast in Android 4.4 devices, please use the YouTube app.
Quick Start:
* Install Firecast Player app in your Fire TV or Fire TV Stick: http://amzn.to/1mvySW4
* Install this Firecast app in your Android device
* Connect your Android device to the same Wi-Fi network as your Fire TV
* This app will detect the Fire TV in your network
* Browse the web for your favorite entertainment
* In Android 4.3 or earlier, play videos in full view for the cast menu
* In Android 4.4 or later, just start videos to launch the cast menu
* Select the Fire TV to cast and voila!
* Enjoy videos on the big screen!!
Upgrade to the FLAMIN' edition to watch videos longer than 10 minutes. The upgrade removes the ads at the bottom of the browser. It doesn't remove the ads hosted by the websites you visit.
Firecast app only works with the Firecast Player in Fire TV or Fire TV Stick.

keeps stopping every one minute, despite upgrade.
I enterd my fire stick info and still did not work. Don't wast your time like i did!
It wouldn't f****** recognize the f****** IP address. This app is f****** p***** me off.
After downloading , i watched the app recommended video , but after i upgraded even you tube videos are not playing on my fire stick , it says unable to load the video
Can't understand how to play video, difficult app
It doesn't cast properly. It's very slow apps
Bad shutsdown without any reason
Sometimes the app can be temprememtal and take forever too buffer films to the tele and then they start to freeze and skip as if it needs to buffer. I have a 42mbps band speed with only 2 phones connected so this shouldnt be a problem. Other than that fantastic app for quality of pictures unlike some apps who lose quality in transition to the screen from my mobile
It doesn't always cast the web site. Will start then freeze or revert back to my phone for viewing vs TV
Glitchy, and crashes. Likely due to buggy code intended to start ad videos and check 10+ minute casts. Looking for a better app than "Video & TV Cast." Firecast allows you to cast easier, but the cast never stays playing... pointless.
Wasted money on an "upgrade" that made the app glitch more than before the upgrade, its not worth the money spent n I would like my refund
Most often doesn't start readily. After 3 or 4 tries it casts to the tv. Sometimes it works on the first try, but not usually.
Would like a refund. Could not get it to cast a single thing. The one time I did get it to connect it froze.
Wouldn't work to cast on my firestick. I need to find out how to get a refund because I paid for the premium. Now I had to pay for premium on another app that did work!
It was working while I was on the trial period of 10 minutes per video. Once I purchased the app, none of the Videos are getting casted on my TV... Such a useless app.
Would be amazing if it really worked good idea ..but won't work at all..brings up name of video refuses to play. .but good concept just needs work
Since I paid for the upgraded version it's showing errors like offline firestick and sometimes no option on my Android to watch on firestick ,..if possible do give a solution otherwise I wud want a refund for the same
App only works when it wants to. Wasted alot of my time and patience. And wasted my money
Completely useless app, always show error when I try to cast video from mobile, too much ads.
App cast for about 5 secs then cuts out. Tried everything to fix. No luck
Does work, none of the online platforms recognise nor picks up the app
Always loved this app till recently it doesn't play the audio anymore.
Application is frequently stop working on TV
Rubbish does not connect at all
I paid for the no ads version (FLAMIN') but it still didn't work with my Firestick. What a RIP! I want a refund, please.
Useless waste of everything.
It just need a java player update to the browser
Waste of time.
Not bad but has a long way to go for streaming improvements and user experience quality...
