Did you get it using the groupon because I got mine in earlier this week also from there and I'm enjoying it so far. I have used WatchESPN, Netflix, and HBOGo on it. I'm sure there are other good apps.

go to your phone, go to settings, go to security, turn OFF 'trusted sources only' or whatever that setting is

download
- showbox
- hd cinema
- popcorntime
- localcast
- growbox

google them..the only one you will find in the app store is 'localcast'

ENJOY.

CAD, I've seen you post this a few times. Have you posted a rundown anywhere of what they all are? I'm intrigued.

Popcorn time looks unstable.

Showbox won't let me use my chromecast video player app anymore to throw the movie to chromecast, it wants me to download some mx player app which doesn't support chromecast. Is there any way around that?

Eta: Nevermind, read your other reply

It's fine, but depending on how strict your ISP is, I'd highly recommend using the built-in VPN (slow and crappy) or another VPN (like PIA).

My top Chromecast uses are Plex and Netflix.

I have the same question for my Roku. All I use is WatchESPN, HBOgo, and Netflix...but I'm sure there's more useful tools out there.
