Chromecast - app is incompatible ?

[MortenTorp]

I would order a chromecast
Chromecast
Before that I examined what app I should use for my S3 smartphone. I searched on Google play and found this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.chromecast.app
However, I got the message that "This app is incompatible with all your devices." - Samsung S3 GT-I9300 and Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1.

I do not think the devices are so hopelessly outdated that they can not be used but Chromecast.
Are any of you having the same problem and maybe a solution to the problem so I can use my devices with Chromecast device

I recently bought 4 Chromecast dongles, for each TV in my house.
I didn't install any app whatsoever.

The moment I plugged it in, I was given URL to go to. There was a link to a laptop app, which did all the settings through my laptop. Naming each dongle and allowing wifi network access.

When done, all my devices automatically show the cast icon in my YouTube app.

3 of my S4s, Note2, S3 and even old HTC. Each works like charm.

The only other thing I had to download, was the desktop browse extension, which allows browser tab casting.

Very happy with it. Using it daily.

The Play Store was messed up over the last few days, maybe try it again.

PS - it may also not be available in your country yet.

In that case, you can sideload it from cammykool's thread at XDA.

It's really only good for setup.
