For those unaware, Chromecast compatibility allows users to stream their favorite TV shows and movies directly to their TV by simply tapping the Cast button inside the app. What’s particularly great about this feature is your not required to purchase a NOW TV streaming box, it’s completely free to use and doesn’t add any nasty charges on top of your usual NOW TV subscription fee.

In order to enjoy this added functionality, you’ll need to download the update. To do this, simply open up the Play Store on your device, toggle the hamburger menu by swiping in from the left-hand side of the screen, select ‘My Apps’ and click on Now TV. Then, hit the update button and the application will instantly start to download and install the upgrade from the Google Play servers.
