If you need more reasons other than
Plex, Vudu, YouTube,
AllCast, Netflix and Hulu to spend $35 on a Chromecast device, how about
Crackle. Crackle has been around for quite some time. It is an app that offers movies and tv shows of varying variety for you to stream and watch legally. Legally being the key word. You won’t find the latest and greatest flicks out, but you will find a movie list that is always changing.  Often times you will even find flicks that aren’t available through Netflix to stream. For instance, Crackle has the  Johnny Depp flick ‘The Rum Diary’ available to stream, where as Netflix only has it available on DVD.
There is a price to pay for free service though. You will have to deal with a couple commercials throughout your viewing experience. There are usually one or two before the movie starts and then a number of them throughout the movie.
You can see where the breaks are in the bar there at the bottom, looks like 8 commercial breaks on this 1 hour and 36 minute movie. I have been personally using Crackle for a number of years on my Google TV boxes and phones. I am happy to see it updated with Chromecast support.
If you have never used Crackle, or have a
Chromecast and want to give it a looksy, then click down below and head tot he Play Store and pick it up. You can also just go to
Crackle.com and watch right from your browser.
