So this isn't an app, but I just realized I can cast my desktop. I don't know how I didn't figure this out sooner, but it is ****ing great. I love this cheap device. I can literally watch anything from the internet on my TV now.

If you haven't figured it out yet, click the cast box, then the drop down arrow to the right, then cast entire screen (experimental). When you go fullscreen there is an annoying chromecast popup that informs you that you are casting in fullscreen, but I got around this in VLC by setting VLC to always be on top.

I am about to use hola to watch Sherlock se3ep2 right now in fullscreen.

Oh yeah, when you do this you have to mute your computer speakers. Audio still plays on the TV though.
