Google released the SDK for Chromecast a few days ago, and while that means any app can be made to support Chromecast one new app has already taken advantage of the release, that app is.....Allcast.
To be fair it did support Chromecast before now but Google decided to stop most chromecast compatible apps being, well, compatible and so support had to be re added when Google decided to allow them to stream to their cheap but cheerful dongle.
The app is simplicity itself, see a file, press it to play it on any available device (Chromecast, dlna tv, compatible games console, etcetera). It really is that easy.
The ad free, full version is the one you will need in order to play files from your Android phone or tablet and costs £3.99, be aware that for Chromecast support you will need to have version 4.2 of Googles Play Services installed.
Many people haven't got that yet as it is still in the process of being released but if you can't wait you can grab the new Play Services courtesy of Android Police.
Googles Chromecast is finally on its way to becoming the all singing all dancing, or should that be all streaming, gadget we all wanted it to be when we first bought it.
