About ShowCast APK

Description
Present pictures to ChromeCast from your phone or tablet.Pan and zoom on your phone and the picture shown on your ChromeCast will do the same.
Prevent the picture from rotating; lock the picture on your device from rotating the picture on the ChromeCast.
Do a phone presentation or a tablet presentation using only your phone and a ChromeCast or your tablet and a ChromeCast.
With today's phones and Chromecast technology, you can give presentations using just your phone! But there is one problem: if you want to use the pictures on your phone to hold your presentation, you will either have to fiddle around with your auto-rotate functionality and inadvertently auto-rotate your slides during your presentation, or you will have to mess around with your slides.
Enter ShowCast!
With this simple-to-use app, you just connect your phone to a Chromecast, point to the first slide of your presentation on your phone, and press start!
You will start a slideshow of your presentation slides in your choice of orientation (landscape or portrait). Just flip through your slides like any other photo-app, and you can pinch-zoom to put extra focus on parts of your slide!
All this without rotating your slides or having to change your slides; for your next presentation, you need only bring your phone and a Chromecast!
And as an added bonus, you can see your slides on your phone during the presentation without having to look at the big screen, so no more turning away from the audience to see what's up on the screen!
ADDED in v2.0: You can now display notes on your phone, too! They will only display on your phone's screen! If you flick between your notes or slides, your slides/notes will scroll too, so you always have the slide/note show up which needs to go with the slide on the main presentation screen.
ADDED in v2.5: Full ChromeCast support. Thanks to the new API, you don't need the ChromeCast app to mirror your phone: just start your presentation and select your ChromeCast device using the usual ChromeCast button!
Features:
-selectable orientation of the slides (portrait or landscape)
-rotation lock during the presentation: your slides won't turn sideways while giving the presentation from your phone
-keeps your phone's screen on during the presentation
-pinch-zoom on your slides during the presentation
-ADDED in v2.0: select notes to your slides which will only show on your phone! You now can use your phone as a flash-card display when you are presenting! You now really only need a ChromeCast and your phone to have full control of your presentation!
-ADDED in v2.0: Zoom in and move around your slides and have that show up on your main presentation screen! Do the same for your notes, but this only shows up on your phone's screen!
Instructions:
-turn your slides into pictures (jpg or png)
-copy them onto your phone
-start ShowCast
-select the first slide of your slideshow
(-optional: select the first note to show; notes will only show up on your phone, not on your big screen!)
-press "START" to start your presentation
-click the ChromeCast button in the upper right corner and select the ChromeCast you want to use
-have a great presentation!

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

4 ★PowerPoint has enough casting capability now that I don't need to go to the trouble of converting ppt presentations to slide images and using this to cast. But this has great functionality not discussed - I have a huge, 20+ year photo library, and this is one of the best apps I've found for casting photos. Point it to the right directory for your pictures and voila! You can cast a slide show of the pictures from summer vacation on the grandparents' TV! Worth the bump to donated version!
5 ★This is the only app that actually casts the slides that come from Powerpoint to Chromecast in the correct order simply and effectively and you can pinch/enlarge the image A really top app. I tested, 16 before settling on this one worth every cent even with an interface which is usable but looks clunky
5 ★Very handy for smaller corporate presentations. Just put your slides on your phone, plug in a Chromecast and you can zoom/pan around in real time and check your speaking notes all on your phone! I use it more than I thought I would :-)
4 ★Probably be using this is in the near future. Here are some issues that I've had. Zooming: After tapping to zoom on the slide, the result is only reflected on the screen after I have adjusted the position on the slide. Feels unintuitive because I don't want to keep looking at my phone/projection to confirm that what is on my phone is the same as what is on the protection. Additionally it's the same issue with zooming out. Portrait mode: The outgoing slide seems to dip down before disappearing from the screen. Visually annoying. Additional settings: Adjusting the size of the screen in horizontal mode. Having a timer/stopwatch during presentation mode.
4 ★Works well on my Galaxy Note 8 but always leaves the last slide out.
1 ★Dont work
