Apps on Chromecast with Google TV

While the Chromecast with Google TV is among the best streaming devices on the market right now, it's worth pointing out that the dongle only allows you to highlight 12 apps and games on the home screen without expanding the full list. That's why it's a good idea to put your most-used apps at the front and to regularly update your device by downloading your current faves and removing the apps you haven't accessed in months.
