Update Google Chromecast Gets HBO's Standalone App

      Google's Chromecast continues to grab new features as well as remaining a popular item on places like Amazon. 

      Chromecast users have been able to enjoy premium programming such as Game of Thrones, Girls and True Detective since 2013 by using HBO Go, but only if they paid for a pricey cable package with HBO included. And since the release of HBO Now, the standalone app has had a limited reach on just a few streaming platforms, like Apple TV and Sling TV.
     But HBO Now isn't all that's new coming to Chromecast. Food fanatics can enjoy shows like Cutthroat Kitchen and Beat Bobby Flay on the new Watch Food Network app. And for the kid in all of us, Pokemon TV app is also available.
     The updates are available now so enjoy.
     The company does point out that some content requires a subscription. You'll also need a phone or tablet for some of this. Google explains "Download these apps from the Play Store or App Store so all of your family and friends can tune in, flap, swing, shout, smash, and dance, or binge on their favorites".
