castly is a garbage app and I'd delete it immediately if the apps that used it would have different casting options as promised. that's why it's one big scam. won't let you use the remote anymore to pause or fast forward. more and more the app just pisses you off until you wish you could give it negative stars. no closed caption. you have to cast every episode. doesn't auto play next episode.
★★★★ Cecelia Beeman 4/24/2026

★★★★ Lisa Satterfield 4/15/2026 v2.2.0
1 star just so I could review. what a scam. you wait and wait to get a log in code. when you finally get it I'm told it's invalid. so you get .99 anyway. I cancelled immediately. it says my subscription is good for the trial period which is useless because I can't log in without the code!!
★★★★ Clarissa Cortez 4/13/2026 v2.2.0

★★★★ Jeremiah Smith 4/1/2026 v2.2.0
it's a scam
★★★★ Brandon Werner 4/1/2026
I'd sooner believe the 1 star complaints than anything 3 star or above. there's a guy with a 5 star review that said he has used the service for years and initially had a 3 star review before editing but requested they update and fix issues and ~30 minutes later updates the same review saying they fixed the issues with an update. same day, March 2026 🤔 There's another that kept saying in instead of and, some others lacking a basic education. just don't spend the money or risk losing it 🤷‍♂️

★★★★ Ted Lafond 2/12/2026 v2.1.9
paid $1 which wasn't much just to try it out and it didn't work. it wouldn't cast it wouldn't do nothing after I even located my TV to cast it to what a bunch of garbage this is. then I download VLC media player for free and it works perfectly.
★★★★ Chaserocks 2/11/2026 v2.1.9
I was getting a charge for this app, and I didn't even have it downloaded. I NEVER installed it in the first place; I didn't even know what it was until the date of writing this review. I noticed it was trying to take money off my cashapo card, this app is really sketchy.
★★★★ Christa 2/10/2026 v2.1.9
this app does not cast to either of the 3 TVs I have, only gave it 1 star to give my feedback. It sucks! need to make it better or take it down.

★★★★ Ramona Chappell (BeyondB*tch) 2/5/2026 v2.1.9
Garbage 😔, Of course they take your money and then won't go to any movies, program's and good luck trying to figure out how to cancel cause you won't be able to get to that either. GARBAGE
