Google Cast (Chromecast)

Previously known as Google Cast, the new app enables you to control all your Google devices and allows you to cast any apps or stream media from mobile devices, tablets, computers, speakers, and televisions. You’re able to use your voice to search for contents by actor, TV show, and movie. You can also customize your TV screen with lovely pictures.
