Has anybody got one casting fine?

Getting mixed reports online as to if they actually work. Can't find a list of compatible devices on the chrome cast site.

Ideally I want to use it to stream films/programs from the tablet. I do have fibre optic broadband with speeds rarely dropping below 40/50MB

I assume this is instead of the chromecast app but will still need the dongle.

Got the chrome cast from Gatwick on the way home tonight and it works fine on the Galaxy Tab 4 with all the apps I want it to.

Just about to test it on my iphone 5S now.

Ok so my iphone doesn't want to play. Both tablet and phone are connected to the same wifi.

When I open the chromecast app on my phone I have 2 options:

Dave's Chromecast (what I named it when connecting the tablet)
Connect new device

If I select the chromecast it gives me info about it but no option to cast my phone even with Guest enabled.
If I select new device it tells me to search for the chromecast in my wifi list but all I see is my broadband router.

The same is still the case if I stop casting from the tablet.

From what I can see all cast only lets you stream local media. Can't get it to show the tablet screen at all.
