While Chromecast is only $ 35, the CheapCast app is completely free. Just by installing it on your Android device, it will appear on your local network as a "Chromecast".
Back in the summer, when CheapCast was launched, around the same time as Chromecast's multi-region launch, the developer promised to release updates extending the possibilities and operation of the Android application. As promised, a new version with several major improvements has just been released today.
Although given the functionality that Cheapcast in itself offered, the reality that the application lacked some importants features since it was launched last August. The new version has appeared on Google Play taking these long-awaited functionalities.
Change list
- CheapCast now works under Chromium
- Added support for "Tab Casting"
- Solve Chromecast apps via Google Service
- Donations to IAP have been moved due to changes to the Play Store ToS
The «Tab Casting» is an important novelty, since you will be able to use the Chrome desktop web browser tab, which could be a web page or even a Flash video, to give a few examples. At the moment, it only works with tabs, since in full screen it is impossible to use this feature.
The application is now under Chromium, which should cause everything worked better in generalespecially for users on Android 4.3 or earlier version.
If you have a Smart TV, do not wait to try the new possibilities of Cheapcast, offering the same as if you had a device like Chromecast, and thus be able to use your television screen to play all kinds of multimedia content from your Android terminal.
