The Chromecast may be affordable, but it doesn’t beat a $1 price point. Not to mention, it is really annoying to see the Chromecast out-of-stock wherever you go. If you can’t get your hands on a Chromecast and have an iPad\/iPhone, you may be able to use a handy iOS app and make it all work! <\/p>\n

Chromecatch is an iOS app that turns your iPad or iPhone into a full-fledged Chromecast receiver. Just download the app, open it and you are ready to cast! I have tested it with my iPad mini and Android smartphone and it doesn’t work flawlessly, though. I can watch my YouTube and Netflix videos without a problem, but some features seem to be having problems<\/p>\n

Upon trying to cast one of my Chrome tabs, the iPad screen simply goes black and the Chromecast extension on Chrome gives me an error message. Likewise, I am not able to stream from my Google Play Music app to Chromecatch. <\/p>\n

I can’t seem to find what the issue is, but I will be testing the app for a few more days and bring you more details on my experience. It doesn’t seem fair to pay $1 for an app that doesn’t work as well, right? Meanwhile, you can download it from the Apple App Store<\/a> if you want, or wait until I have put it through the tests. Can you think of any other tests you want me to run? Let me know in the comments!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Don’t want to buy a Chromecast dongle but want the functionality it offers? If you have an iPad you may be able to get the best of both worlds!
