It doesn’t come up easily. The latest program doesn’t present itself first. Also it would be nice if you could jump forward or backward several seconds or minutes. ### 5/5 — Another great source for sports *2023-09-15* I love watching football at all levels and Livestream is just one more place to find high quality streams of games from all around the country. There’s even teams close to my hometown. I was truly surprised at the sharpness and quality of the broadcast. ### 5/5 — Another Choice *2022-11-20, version 4.1.6* Just another great way to watch another college/ high school football game. Thanks for being there. ### 3/5 — Camera orientation *2022-03-30, version 4.1.6* The camera keeps switching from facing forward to selfie mode. The spot where you click to turn it back is gray and doesn’t work. If I uninstall and reinstall, it sooommmeeetimes works for a little bit, but then switches the orientation and sticks. I also have issues with other phones connecting to the livestream studio app. It’s super annoying, but I don’t have any other app options. Also, why isn’t there a support option? ### 3/5 — Not a bad app, but continuity is lacking *2021-09-12, version 4.1.6* Overall not a bad app. It streams content well with few hiccups due to buffering or lag. Sound is good. My biggest complaint against the app has more to do with live-streaming my church’s services. I know when they will be going live, it’s scheduled to go live at a certain time, the app even counts down to when it goes live. However, when it goes live, it doesn’t automatically switch to viewing the content. I have to completely close the app and find the livestream again in order to view the content. Frustrating. ### 5/5 — Helps us watch Church *2021-02-07, version 4.1.6* Our services stream on FB and other apps but Livestream lets us see the service even at a later time. We’ve been watching it via our AppleTV for years now. ### 4/5 — Finally Found Streaming from IS House & Senate *2021-01-07, version 4.1.6* Our local PBS streaming service was not streaming these critical debates although other areas were doing so. After a long search, I finally found that these could be found on Vimeo Livestream. Very happy to find this. I do find it puzzling that this app has not been updated in three years. I take this long indifference to mean that the Livestream service is not high on Vimeo’s priority list. ### 3/5 — App needs an update, desperately. *2021-01-07, version 4.1.6* App needs an update to be compatible with latest iOS version. App is buggy and doesn’t allow for copying of link or sharing. App freezes and crashes constantly if I try to scroll through list and switch to different stream. I ### 5/5 — Works Flawlessly For Me *2020-07-19, version 4.1.6* I only use this app to watch one church’s services, so my use is limited, but as I said in the title, it always works really well. I love how you can turn off the video and it will play in the background, so it also works well in the car. Never really have any buffering issues at all anymore. ### 1/5 — Would you like an app to continuously crash?! Then download this one! *2020-07-15, version 4.1.6* You’ll notice that the last time an update was pushed was two years ago, and IT SHOWS! The amount of times this app crashes is annoying to say the least! Constantly having to close the entire app down in order to move to a different video is frustrating! I only have this app because of specific people, ministries, and organizations I follow. If they went to something else I’d follow in a heartbeat, heck I’d encourage it.
