I need to be able to cast an instagram hash tag or other user's feed.
crashes as soon as I try to cast
Unclear what you have to pay for. Ugh.
Pics on sd card didn't show. Dev had it fixed in <1 day. 5 stars! And will be upgrading in app!
For a brand new app, works well. Only real knock against it is no video support. Once that's in there, any other features are pure bonus.
Great way to share pictures in a social situation. Works quite well and the interface is easy to use.
Great job as always my friend. I'm already spamming this to people I know who've waited for such an option.
Looks great. Bought the premium, but it never seems to load the albums from Google+. /me sad panda Also, when purchasing the premium edition, it should hide the option to purchase it again.
Such a great way to share vacation pictures with others.
They're is no intelligence in displaying pictures. Pictures on my devices display correctly, but when using PictureCast it's kinda a crap shoot. I would rate this app better if this were corrected.
