Then there are the glitches, just two of which are shown here. Rather self-referentially(!), casting the Tubecast tutorial video over to my Chromecast-connected TV. Opening up the main '.' menu reveals a way to turn the trial into the full unlimited application, plus ways to share and pin the current video, as you'd expect (right) the settings pane is quite extensive, note the 'Run under lock' option, meaning that you don't have to worry about anything happening to your casting if the screen times out and the lock screen cuts in. Here looking through my YouTube 'Favourites', the interface is smooth and modern (right) playing another video through the Chromecast interface, volume is controlled through the on-screen slider, the phone's own buttons do nothing.
