[New App] Overcast offers “You Shall Not Cast” to stop the insane Chromecasters in your Home

The Chromecast is a great little device that many o you are very familiar with. It has come a long way since its release. It has gained hundreds of apps, a couple of games, a home screen replacement app and so much more. However, it is a bit flawed when it comes to who controls what. Anyone in the house with access to the network and the right apps installed can take control of your Chromecast. This can lead to some pretty crappy movies, lame YouTube videos and a dependency on alcohol to make it through the evening. Rather than fight with the culprit by telling them to stop or changing it back to what you were trying to watch, why not send a more subtle message.

Yes, that would be Gandalf relaying his disapproval of the content that was just playing on your TV. The app is silly little on from developer Excelltech and is completely free. Simply install it, open the app and hit the big red “OVERCAST” button and in a few seconds Gandalf will pop up on your Chromecast screen.

Pretty fun. Wish it had some audio that relayed the text, that would be a little funnier. Still, it might come in handy one of these days.

Pick up the app for free through the Play Store.
