Although your query is about fixing an app not working on Google Chromecast, the context of our conversation suggests you might be using an Amazon Fire TV, as your previous questions focused on Fire TV features. To clarify, Chromecast and Fire TV are distinct streaming devices with different operating systems and troubleshooting steps.

Below, I’ll provide guidance for fixing an app not working on Google Chromecast, but I’ll also include a section for Amazon Fire TV in case that’s what you meant. If you confirm the device, I can refine the response further.

Fixing an App Not Working on Google Chromecast
Apps may fail to work on Chromecast due to connectivity issues, outdated software, app-specific bugs, or device configuration problems. Here are the steps to troubleshoot, based on common issues and solutions:

Check App Compatibility:
Ensure the app supports Chromecast. Most streaming apps (e.g., Netflix, YouTube, Disney+) are compatible, but some may not support casting or require specific settings.

Open the app on your phone, tablet, or computer and look for the Cast icon (a rectangle with a Wi-Fi-like symbol). If it’s missing, the app may not support Chromecast.

Verify Network Connection:
Ensure your Chromecast and the casting device (phone, tablet, or computer) are on the same Wi-Fi network. Chromecast requires both devices to be on the same 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz network (most Chromecasts support 2.4 GHz; newer models like Chromecast with Google TV also support 5 GHz).
In the Google Home app, tap your Chromecast device, then check Settings - Device Information to confirm the Wi-Fi network.

If it shows “Offline” or a different network, reset the network:
Go to Settings - Network & Internet on Chromecast with Google TV, or factory reset older models (hold the reset button for 25 seconds until the LED flashes).

Restart your router: Unplug it for 10–15 seconds, then plug it back in. Wait 30 seconds to 1 minute before reconnecting Chromecast.

Restart Devices:
Chromecast: Unplug the Chromecast from power, wait 10 seconds, and plug it back in. For Chromecast with Google TV, go to Settings - System - Restart.
Casting Device: Reboot your phone, tablet, or computer to resolve temporary glitches.

Router: As mentioned, rebooting the router can fix connectivity issues.

Update Software:
Chromecast Firmware: Chromecast updates automatically when connected to Wi-Fi, but you can check the firmware version in the Google Home app under Settings - Device Information. Compare it to the latest version on Google’s support site. Reboot to trigger updates if needed.

Google Home App: Ensure you’re using the latest version (e.g., 3.30.1.6 for Android, 3.30.106 for iOS as of March 2025). Update via Google Play Store or App Store.

App: Update the problematic app on your casting device to the latest version via the app store.

Chrome Browser (if casting from a computer): Open Chrome, click the three-dot menu, and select Help - About Google Chrome to check for updates. Relaunch if updated.

Clear App Cache/Data (Chromecast with Google TV)**:
For Chromecast with Google TV (which runs apps directly), go to Settings - Apps - See all apps, select the app, and choose Clear cache. If the issue persists, select Clear data (note: this may log you out of the app).
Restart the Chromecast after clearing cache/data.
