Update News: December 18, 2019

***NOTE: Our deepest apology for the app is still not working as expected. This app is a LOT more complicated than we thought, with a lot of back-end and behind-the-scene work. We are still currently working with many different developers to make it work. However our budget and cash flow is running out and would like to call sponsors and donators to support this app development. If we do not have enough funds (within 1 year) we will likely discontinue this app***

Please make your generous donations and sponsor and lets build this app together!:

uCast Information Dashboard is a personalized homescreen for Chromecast. Create and organise widgets to your liking and display them on your TV. This app requires a Chromecast or a Cast enabled device to work.

You can now create alarms to automatically trigger casting of your dashboard to your TV.

Widgets available :
- Clock and date
- Weather: get current and future weather forecasts
- RSS: view RSS or ATOM feeds on your TV
- Calendar: read your phone's calendar and display it on your TV
- Stock: select from a list of stock quotes
- Audio : play audio streams or podcasts (beta). Select a podcast from the app, or enter a url to an audio file or stream or playlist and listen to it on your chromecast. Supported audio file and playlist formats : mpeg (mp3, mp4, etc), .ogg, .pls, .xpsf, .m3u.
- Map: Weather layer or traffic map with directions information

- Better widget position, options and size control
- Additional interaction with widgets on Chromecast from your device

Some Dashboard Cast widgets are still considered experimental.

Permissions :
- Approximate location : the weather widget has an option to use your current location to get weather data. The permission is needed to access the city you are in to display proper weather data.
- Read calendar events : the calendar widget needs this permission to send your upcoming events to Chromecast. If you do not have a calendar widget set up, the application does not look at your calendar data.

- Prevent phone from sleeping : if the phone sleeps while connected to the Chromecast, the connection is interrupted. Therefore the application needs to prevent the CPU from going to sleep in order to keep the connection open.
- Receive device boot completed : needed to schedule alarms when the device is powered on.
- Access and change wifi state : allows uCast Information Dashboard to automatically turn on wifi without going into the device settings.
