This is a very easy to use streaming app! I enjoy using it and will probably continue. The only thing is, it runs in the background and I can't close it. I use a galaxy and when I pull the notification bar down it says it's running. Sometimes I can close it from that pulldown bar, but the option seems to be gone. I have to Uninstall and reinstall every time I use it. Any ideas how to fix?

New updates sucks. The UI is no longer intuitive. It takes multiple touches and swipes. Ridiculous that a title is required to proceed to stream. The number of viewers show zero always even though the YouTube Live stream has the correct number. This all needs to be fixed or reverted back. They must have gotten a new app designer that does not have the vision.

The was working ok until the last update. There is an issue with the camera. It does not allows to record on landscape or switch between front and back camera. It does not show how the new interface work. New update screw the app. Too bad for them. Now I have to look to something else to do my mobile streaming because this app let me down with its last update.

Was absolutely amazing, intuitive, and the pc version is still the best, but the last update coated things in watermarks. You just turned open source software into a cash grab. Marked yes for disruptive ads. I did not say anything wasn't working, just that watermarks show up on sources like camera, disrupting your streaming experience for viewers. It IS open source, it's in the name actually. Open Broadcast Software. Streamlabs is a skin over top of the freely available OBS.

The latest update is absolute garbage. They added a watermark and have placed many basic features that used to be free behind a pay wall. You now have to pay $12/month for Streamlabs Prime (or something like $26/month through the app) to not have a watermark or just to have other basic features that used to be free. Absolutely terrible. Edit: Now none of the widgets works. Even the alerts box is broken. You have to cycle through the settings to get it to SOMETIMES work but it eventually breaks again. Don't even bother with custom widgets, they won't load at all.

I used to use this app as a camera and microphone for streamlabs on my computer about a year ago and it worked decently, save for the screen freezing every now and then. Here these last few weeks I've tried to come back to use it and nine times out of 10 the audio will not work despite checking and rechecking all of my settings and they are correct. I'm forced to go find another app because my audience cannot hear me. Oh, and the screen still freezes

I decided to give the app another go with a different device. Instead of using a Smart Phone, I decided to try out a Chromebook. I'm not sure if I will encounter the same issues on my Chromebook because I can't even get to the app's homescreen. It constantly sticks in "Streamlabs wants to share your entire screen" in an infinite loop. As soon as I choose it, it goes right back to it. Again, and again, and again.

Works really well in general and has many features other apps don't (ability to switch between screen and camera). There are only two issues I have with it: 1. It takes a really long time to create the stream. 2. It doesn't ask you for a title. It just creates the event with the default title, and if you want to change it you have to do it later. Good otherwise though.

What good is a streaming app if you can't edit the layout and add sources and widgets? The layout editor only saves the default stuff. And when you delete the widgets, you can't add them back at all! At least it works in streaming the video. But, to add insult to injury, I can't do a stream to local network devices, or at least the option isn't obvious.

Installed the recent Streamlabs update and the app is almost unusable. Massive use-lag throughout. And not just lag in in the stream, I'm talking about menus, navigating them, etc. Tap on the screen and it takes several seconds to respond. Sometimes it just crashes or becomes "unresponsive". Turns out it's the "Appear on top" permission. Turned it off and everything works fine, but i can't use certain widgets like donation goals etc.

streams run okay, but editing scenes is a nightmare. too glitchy: sometimes it won't let you add anything new, won't save changes, stays in portrait mode. seems like the making scenes is 1 and done. the app doesn't like scenes to be edited multiple times are something. it's so frustrating having to redo all of my scenes just to add a couple new things. they also don't disclose that if you want your regular alerts, you have to resize the text and adjust the zoom. PLEASE fix this, streamlabs

Fairly easy to use. Very convenient all in 1 streamer software. Although it was easy enough to use, it still has a small learning curve to get it functioning. I've been considering getting into streaming and vlogging for a while and this app made it really easy to jump in and do it. Looking forward to future quality of life updates as well as possible new feature updates.

I just tried the app to stream an android game (Max Payne), and it worked beautifully. I've previously been using the app for its remote control feature, and I have to say it is an amazing innovation for streamers. Being able to start and stop streams, seamlessly switch scenes, and enable or disable visual elements from the remote control interface is intuitive, fast, and is overall the best feature (in my opinion) of this app.

Oh my god. It's terrible. It causes a dead zone in the middle of your screen when streaming which is maddeningly annoying. It refuses to ever close even when you're not using it. Many people have reported the dead zone problem and it still exists. And I swore to never use always-on, battery-draining apps. Uninstalled for the good of mankind. Needs so much work

Streamlabs was always buggy. You'd have to set everything up twice for it to register, overlays would show on stream as black boxes, etc. These were acceptable because it was a free app that they were supposedly working on. Instead of fixing these known issues they decided to strip functionality unless you buy a subscription to get back to the broken app that used to be free. Worse than that even, when you buy the subscription the new version of the app has more bugs than before they instituted the forced pay system. While I can gratefully accept a free app that has known problems, I can't stomach paying hundreds of dollars for a worse version of the same app. Especially knowing that Streamlabs has no intention of giving us a better experience. They only plan to charge more money for it. I am currently exploring other streaming options. I'm off of Streamlabs on my PC as well due to their decisions with the mobile app. Edit to respond to Streamlabs: It's the alerts and overlays that cause me the most problems. For example, if I put an alertbox on my stream on your mobile app and then go live the alertbox shows up as a black box in the middle of the screen for my viewers. The alerts don't show in there, it's just a black box in the middle of the stream. If I go back into the Editor and back to the stream it goes away, sometimes. The last time I tried to use your app I went back and forth three times and the box still wouldn't go away. It has nothing to do with the camera source, though that is another problem. Sometimes with the new version it's impossible to get the camera source to go fullscreen. Another problem is that custom url overlays don't work anymore. Honestly, there are too many problems to list in this format, and trying to contact StreamLabs directly doesn't go anywhere.

It's a little misleading, but I'm going to talk about the great qualities first Well for starters, it's smooth, and its easy to use. Chat overlay is in a not annoying spot, and you can turn it on and off. Although, it is very misleading, you cant actually do a screen record, if you choose normal camera. That's about it tho, but overall I probably wouldn't recommend it

App seems to be rather intuitive, layers seem easy enough to edit/customize (to a degree). Have tried to use this to stream some mobile games, however all I get is the screen capture of the app itself regardless of what game I switch too. I rather miss the pc versions options of what to capture (not just "screen capture" or at least a way to check it mid-stream?

I wanted to give the Ultra a try for the cool effects for themes. So, I went ahead & bought the $4.99 to stream on all platforms. I picked a theme. Tried it out. It seemed ok until after I streamed. I went back to check out the quality of the video. My share screen was frozen entirely & camera video was ok. It was the same on the platforms I used, Twitch & YouTube. Terrible, glitchy quality. I tried to get my refund through Google after it & nothing solved. I do not recommend this.

Works great for the most part, however there are a few issues I encountered. There's no way to switch scenes unless you go back into the app, you can only view chat - not type anything yourself, only see what viewers have said - and while streaming, there is a large section in the middle of the screen that refuses to respond to touch inputs. You need to disable "Draw on Top" to rectify the issue, but the fact that you have to choose between chat and a fucntional device is inexcusable.

Piss poor mobile customization abilities. When you're trying to manipulate a layer, it will select another nearby element. Either moving it or resizing it. Then the cancel button is in the work field. So I accidentally reset work 10 times, losing 3 hours of work. Then when I was finally able to get it all laued out with overlays. I hit save, and it didn't. You guys need to separate the save and cancel buttons. Then, add a confirmation for canceling your work in that session. Add a zoom feature.
