Read all the other reviews please! This DOES NOT WORK...it leaves my TV with a blank, black screen and I can't do anything with the app! Terrible

Good idea. Not very well implemented. Lacks features or tools. Issues: connecting to Chromecast Ultra (via ethernet, wifi on Pad), on a number of occasions, although the app had successfully connected to Chromecast, the app did not acknowledge and still said connecting to the device. Limited set of drawing tools/shapes/lines/pre-set objects/grids/layers/etc. Cannot see the advantage of purchasing.

Simply doesn't work. Chromecast Ultra and Galaxy Tab 10.1... says it keeps connecting while having a black screen.
