Q: Will this work on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)?

Q: Why is the app so slow on my Galaxy S III?
The Galaxy S III has a quad-core Exynos chip, but the eMMC storage degrades over time. Consider flashing a lightweight custom ROM (like LineageOS 14.1) to improve speed.

No. Casting requires Google Play Services 18.x or higher, which does not run on Android 4.1.2.

Q: The app says "There was a problem with the server [400]" – what do I do?
