Latest reviews of DbCast for Chromecast & Apple TV airplay app for iPhone and iPad
Dropbox usage very difficult
I simply wanted to select a Dropbox folder to Chromecast. This option appears there but it forces you to type in the name of the Dropbox folder (instead of selecting it), then just gives a Media Sync error. I was able to select All for Dropbox and actually get something to display but All is simply not an option for a Dropbox with Gigs of images.

I regret my purchase
There were many things that did not work in this app. The pictures that displayed on the TV were not the ones on the iPad or iPhone screen, which made it very hard to control what picture you were looking at. The pictures were even in a totally random order so if you tried to go back to see the previous picture you would get a different random picture. There were no options to control the speed of the slideshow either, and it moved so fast that as soon as a picture was loaded it would advance immediately to the next before you had time to view the whole picture. The user interface was extremely ugly, in fact I wish that I could post a screenshot of the "settings" screen so you could see how poorly it was designed. On both the iPad and iPhone words were overlapping each other and some were cut off by the screen edges.
