Google’s Chromecast got off to a bit of a slow start, but a serious push from Google sees 10 new apps gaining support for the streaming media dongle today. The mass announcement follows news of HBO Go receiving support for the $35 device last just a few weeks back.
Not all apps feature iOS equivalents, but those receiving updates today or slated for updates to enable Chromecast support include:
- VEVO,
- Songza,
- Viki,
- Red Bull TV,
- RealPlayer Cloud,
- Revision 3, and
- Plex.
Several of these apps for the first time enable the ability to stream your own saved music, video, and photos from an iPhone or iPad to a larger screen via Chromecast. The feature was glaringly absent when the device initially launched.
With this latest round of updates, Chromecast, already a steal at its current price, becomes an even more appealing option for those looking to add a layer of smart to their otherwise dumb TVs.
