Cinch for Chromecast

Does work with Apple Music, the only songs available to play are ones I’ve purchased individually:(

Did not do as advertised

I wasted a dollar. It was a gamble. For others, don’t gamble, it doesn’t work. No where in the description does the app disclose this. I reread it and it says “local media” on the iPhone. I download my Apple Music subscription songs to save data, so my music is “local.” This app will only cast the music I’ve paid for/purchased. It does not play music downloaded from your Apple Music subscription.

It’s fine.

So glad to find this app to play music stored on my phone via Chromecast. Just wish it organized albums with their actual tracklist and as subfolders beneath the artist name

This doesn't do what it claims. Couldn’t successfully cast reliably. No response from the developer. Can truly say that it’s the most significant waste of money spent for an app. Can see podcasts that are on iPhone, but not music. Can cast photos, but REALLY slowly. Videos skip the beginning. Then the app stalls after the first couple of casts and has to be restarted. No tutorial or instructions provided. And so on....

The app should chromecast tracks from an iPhone file source from the first track on an album to the last track. I even paid for it to do this basic function. It has yet to chromecast an album end to end without locking up. Most of the time it’s one of the first tracks and it freezes mor often than not. I can get over the slow buffer and weak interface but this is not acceptable Very disappointing as there are not a lot of options for apps that chromecast your Apple Music from your phone. When it infrequently works it works great. I don’t understand the positive reviews and hope I am missing something or I have a misbehaving iPhone. I will gladly extract this review if an explanation of the problem is provided and can be corrected. Drc

When a product I own tries to coerce me into paying them to use my own stuff, it bothers me. This app gets around that. I do have years of music collecting on my hard drive, and I have a favorite selection on my phone. This app allows me to play it any way I want, streaming onto Chromecast. I love hearing my music on the surround sound I have hooked up to the tv. This makes it simple to do. Would recommend.

I am very much disappointed. Feeling bad that I had not read the reviews. Very bad quality of music that gets streamed from phone. Super annoying.

I’m using Cinch specifically to cast my iTunes library to Chromecast Audio. It works as advertised most of the time. Occasionally gets hung up, but has been a minor inconvenience in comparison to the bigger picture of inexpensive, good quality, and very flexible while house audio powered by Chromecast.
