Cast?????????!

It's possible with my Samsung Galaxy A5 2016.

TSTO can be cast using mirroring but the lag and poor sound quality make it a fairly unsatisfactory experience. Slightly better with an HDMI cable which avoids the lag although the sound still seems pretty lo-fi to my ears.

....and you may never see your friends/family again. :D

No lag and sound is better than the phone's speaker. No need for a cable.

I have one and have tried it with different apps, including this one. It really doesn't work because you are looking at your phone/tablet screen to tap things. At least that's how I play :D When looking at the game on the TV I couldn't get my hands to tap what my brain was seeing on the TV screen, it was all over the place (better have that confirm donut spending thing on) ;) Maybe I'm just not coordinated though :s

If this were like a typical video game and you had a controller to use to tap then you could look up at the TV screen and navigate around your town. I did experience some lag, but that was on a different device from a few years ago. Things could be better now. I'm sure there are games that would work flawlessly with it. It's a cheap buy though, I say go for it and give it a try. Who doesn't like a new toy to play with :)

Never heard of this technology before....

I agree with 00mesmerelda00 - I've tried this too to a large screen and while I didn't find the lag terrible, it was impossible to actually play the game-- I ended up staring at my phone the whole time anyway. Might be useful if you want to show off your town to a group of people?? I don't know. For me, it's pointless.

"Hey everybody, gather round the TV and watch me play tapped out...." (Crickets) :D

We'll just file this one under - "How to lose friends quick" ;)

There are actually giant touch screen TVs available ($$$$$$$), but who would want one? Fingerprints all over your TV... And I doubt the touch action would translate back to the game.
