The SoundCloud iOS app adds support for Chromecast, limits it to paying subscribers

A case of better late than never seems to have happened for SoundCloud. The music streaming service finally adds Chromecast support for its iOS—a feature that has long been available for Android. This means, iOS users can play music through more devices like TVs and speakers. To use the feature though, you’ll need to be a SoundCloud Go+ subscriber, the service’s US$10 per month subscription plan. Shared playback has also been introduced into this latest iOS update. This will let multiple users control what’s playing.

‘King Arthur: Legend of the Sword’ shows Guy Ritchie’s signature cinematic style

The latest and final trailer for the King Arthur: Legend of the Sword movie shows how much of a Guy Ritchie film it is. You get quick cuts combined with pop-heavy soundtrack, and artful fast- or slow-motion movements. Ritchie puts that all on display in this latest take of the King Arthur lore. The film has some big names leading the charge including Charlie Hunnam as King Arthur, Jude Law as his Uncle Vortigern, and Eric Bana as Uther Pendragon, to name a few. The trailer looks pretty badass and we’re hoping the film delivers. It’s set to come out in Canada on March 24.
