Guess it depends what phone you have and also what you want from the dongle?

Do you want a dongle that will also double up to do other things?

I’m still just rocking my fire stick (still going strong after 3+ years) which does me for football/movies/tv shows.

Look on any of the politics/race threads on here - you'll see plenty of streaming dongles.

"I’m still just rocking my fire stick "?

This is what's going wrong with the world :)

Chromecast is the obvious answer, although there is a step down in quality I'd say (but I think that's the case with everything).

The best solution is to get something that will run the app natively, either an android box or fire stick (and transfer it with something like Cetus play).

For movies/tv shows .... you can get movie box/bobby movie sideloaded onto your phone and mirror them over.
