Please note that not all videos can be cast including HTTPS, Flash videos, live streams. If you see R-Cast channel load the video and return to the home screen it is usually because of incompatible video format. Roku doesn't play all video formats that play in Android devices.

This app does not do what it says it does. I just tried it out briefly and I could not see a way to cast videos or pictures from my phone to the TV. So, I deleted the app. NO, I don't recommend this app to anyone.
