10 New Chromecast Apps
10 New Chromecast Apps
The number of apps that support Chromecast has increased: there are 10 new apps and most of them are free. Heres the list:
* VEVO (Android, iOS) - music videos app, available in a few countries: Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Spain, UK and US.
* Red Bull.TV (Android, iOS) - videos and shows
* Songza (Android) - music streaming, online radio (theres an iOS app, but it doesnt support Chromecast yet)
* PostTV (Android) - news from Washington Post
* Viki (Android, iOS) - "Korean dramas, Taiwanese, Chinese and Filipino dramas, Telenovelas, Japanese dramas and anime, American cartoons, NBC Universal, History Channel, A&E, E! TV shows, as well as movies from Indonesia, Hong Kong"
* Revision3 (Android, iOS) - shows

* BeyondPod (Android) - podcast manager
* Plex (Android) - media player, Chromecast support only for videos, the app costs $5 (theres an iOS app, but it doesnt support Chromecast yet)
* Avia (Android) - media player, Chromecast support for local videos, music and photos, requires an in-app purchase that costs $3. I tried the app and it works well for local files, but the Google Cast API supports a small number of file formats
* RealPlayer Cloud (Android, iOS) - movie player that stores your videos online, US and Canada only

"Theres no need to huddle around small screens when you can share your own photos and videos using your phone, tablet, or laptop," mentions Google.
From what I tried, the most interesting apps seem to be Songza (for playing online music) and Avia (for playing local files).
