### 4/5 — Make it able to cast

*2026-02-11, version 6.0.34*

The only thing I would change is making it easier to cast to a larger screen. Having to screen play is annoying when I used to be able to cast it without trouble.

### 2/5 — could be better

*2025-06-21, version 6.0.21*

yall need to add PiP already

### 3/5 — Bug Problem

*2025-03-29, version 6.0.13*

When i pull down my notification screen on my phone it resets the video from the very beginning.

### 2/5 — Latest Update created many bugs

*2025-01-14, version 6.0.10*

With the latest update, I can no longer fast-forward or rewind even if I push the 10 seconds forward to 10 seconds back button it just takes me all the way back to the beginning every time. Also, no longer shows me once it’s how long the video is. And it is not play anymore if I go into other apps like it used to. I want to move forward to a different part of the video and it won’t let me.

### 3/5 — Needs lots of work

*2024-12-30, version 6.0.9*

I only use this app because I have to in order to attend my class that teaches on here. A year ago, it worked okay. A recent update has destroyed the interface. Links don’t work, the video scroll bar doesn’t work/is super buggy, and there are just countless other bugs that never used to be an issue before this update. I miss the app when it worked. Please improve this.

### 2/5 — Latest version “upgrade” is miserable

*2024-12-14*

The latest version has major delay on live stream, user has to open an event from the browser first because trying to open from the app from the “join by app” leads to a loading circle that does not actually load, lots of glitching, the app does not have the emoji color options, that are available in browser, and the Picture in Picture feature doesn’t work work. I hope the developers continue to work out the problems, but as of now, I use the app way less than before the latest version. I am willing to change my rating once it improves

### 2/5 — Version 6 not as user friendly

*2024-12-02, version 6.0.5*

I’m really not enjoying this update. Whenever I change the orientation, it brings my video all the way back to the beginning and when I try to drag the progress marker back to where I was, the elapsed time isn’t shown at the bottom anymore. Also if you accidentally touch anything, the video starts over from the beginning. It’s quite annoying.

### 3/5 — Issues with the new version

*2024-11-30, version 6.0.5*

Tried to report these iOS bugs but that failed every way I tried 🤷🏽

The video doesn’t keep playing when switching to another app or home screen

The text size prevents the full video timer from showing on the screen. It’s truncated

The keyboard is stuck over the screen and covers the video

### 4/5 — Overall very good

*2024-11-13, version 5.56*

Great opportunity to hear Michael Connelly interview on his latest book!
The interviewer didn’t have enough Bandwidth I think as we lost about 20 percent of her questions - but still loved it !

### 4/5 — Technical difficulties

*2024-11-13, version 5.56*

There will be times when you face technical difficulties. The part I look for is how they are resolved. Thank you for resolving these and providing a great discussion of The Waiting by Michael Connelly.

### 3/5 — Spanish land Broadcast

*2024-10-12, version 5.56*

Way too many technical interruptions … please fix this with your microwave carriers …

### 2/5 — Not loading

*2024-09-04, version 5.55*

When I was going to watch something that I paid 15€ for and just was not loading

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE

*2025-08-28, version 6.0.25*

This app is TERRIBLE. They force you to create an account to purchase a stream. There is no way to rewind the stream if you done in late and they force you to consent to share your email with the host AFTER you pay if you went to watch the stream YOU ALREADY PAID FOR. That’s getting reported to the FTC.

### 1/5 — AI Customer Service - Zero Resolution

*2025-07-31, version 6.0.24*

I signed up for this app to participate in a weekly class. It worked the first day & never again. Unable to reach a human for resolution. Feel like I wasted money on the book & the class due to this app.

### 1/5 — Buggy even after so many years

*2025-01-18, version 6.0.10*

I guess when you’re making a ton of money already, why bother making the App any better?

### 1/5 — Unable to join stream consistently after latest update

*2024-11-26, version 6.0.4*

When I first downloaded the app to listen to some streamers I followed, it worked well. Now, however, it works very poorly. It will not connect to the stream, and if I do happen to connect to the stream, it won’t play in the background like it used to. Please fix.

### 1/5 — Terrible Video Player

*2024-11-24, version 6.0.4*

by far the worst video player i have ever used. video constantly restarts especially when i try to use the rewind button. most frustrating app i have ever had the displeasure of using

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2024-11-20, version 5.56*

The app keeps crashing when I go to events. I checked if it needed an update which it was up to date. Even tried to restart my phone yet it still crashed

### 1/5 — Not Happy

*2024-09-23, version 5.56*

I can only watch replays of my membership webinars due to time differences and I enjoyed for some time but…………… the last 4 months as at September I haven’t been able to view any 🤬🤬 and all Crowcast can say is sorry we are working on it. In the mean time I’m missing out on all the fun views that time out and I will NEVER be able to see

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2024-09-07, version 5.55*

The app is literally unusable. It doesn’t send information immediately between web version and the app. Nothing is saved.  Search is impossible to find.  Literally have to wait until I get to a computer to register for events.

### 1/5 — Grey circle, never loads

*2024-06-02, version 5.53*

I watch crowdcast events several times a year. Without fail, when I try to watch in the app, it will be a gray screen with a circle loading and it never goes to the event. I can watch it on my browser on my phone or the computer just fine. Would love to use your app if it would actually work!

### 1/5 — Hasn’t worked for months

*2023-12-14, version 5.48*

As many others have noted if/when you try to use the app you just get an endless spinning wheel. Have tried deleting and reloading to no avail.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Awesome information

*2026-04-04, version 6.0.36*

Dr Patrick is the ultimate source of information and good sense. Listen and learn.

### 5/5 — Top Notch

*2026-01-13, version 6.0.32*

A fantastic live question and answer show with Connie Willis and Jim Penniston where everyone had the opportunity to talk to Jim one on one! Delightful!

### 5/5 — Enjoying Adrienne Elise

*2025-10-06, version 6.0.26*

Topical, relevant, relatable.

### 5/5 — New to Crowdcast

*2025-09-04, version 6.0.25*

Easy to login, interact and be part of the conversation.

### 5/5 — Authorities issues in Sydney

*2025-06-11, version 6.0.20*

The webinar went very well, could you please these webinars on once twice or even three times a year. Not sure if my questions were seen or not but i thoroughly enjoyed listening to all the experts on panel. Thank you everyone

### 5/5 — Aubreysjoy

*2025-03-26, version 6.0.13*

Really enjoyed learning this budget class. Thanks. Wonderful to see from home. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Chris Wark is awesome!

*2025-01-15, version 6.0.10*

There was a tech problem at the start but I switched to the App & it was fine. I only use Crowdcast for Square 1 ChrisBeatCancer.com Q&A monthly.

### 5/5 — Story of my dad

*2024-11-14, version 5.56*

Very educational, and also inspirational. I am so proud of all what you’ve been doing to keep the sort of dad alive. 
Henry Smythe

### 5/5 — Really great way to hear from those I follow

*2024-10-20, version 5.56*

I enjoy listening to Webinars on Crowdcast as it mostly works well.

### 5/5 — Nice app, if you don’t mind their unpredictable login ritual

*2024-10-12, version 5.56*

The app is just “okay” but has many flaws:
Cons: Login requires unreliable, multiple step authentication.  Additionally, if you don’t have time to listen to a 90 minute pod or video cast then there’s no way to save where you stop. 
Otherwise it’s mostly glitch free.
Pros: Rarely had a dropout listening to it live at my gym.
