10 Best iOS Chromecast Games to Play on TV
DoCast
Our top solution for the lack of native AirPlay support is the DoCast app. DoCast works similarly to AirPlay, providing a simple way to connect your iPhone to a Chromecast for streaming iOS games and other media.
Here’s how easy it is to use the DoCast app:
-
Download DoCast from the App Store.
-
Launch the app and allow it to connect to your Wi-Fi and other devices on the network.
-
Select your Chromecast device from the available options.
-
Tap the Screen button, then tap Start mirroring. A pop-up resembling the AirPlay menu will come up, simply tap Start Broadcast, and you’re ready to go.
-
Return to your home screen and hop into the game you want to play on your TV.
-
When your playing is over, you can return to the DoCast app and tap End Broadcast.
DoCast allows you to play for 15 minutes before you must upgrade, but we recommend springing for the premium version. It’s only $19.99 for a lifetime subscription and makes playing Chromecast iPhone games much more enjoyable.
