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.

While implementing new changes and improvements, the app still saves the function of the former Google Cast which is also currently available on both the Google Play Store and iTunes store. Besides the new name, the app gets a new app icon designed by the shape of a house.
