It makes no business sense to me to have this be this when Microsoft of whoever could do whatever they want to solve this; I’m sorry developer, just being honest. I would’ve fired you 2 years ago from what I see and I can think of 5 ways right off the bat to not even have downtime…I’d step it up. **Developer response:** Thanks for writing to us.

Please make the new version as Stream for SharePoint, and let us use Classic as a default or separate app. It’s bad enough we have to use the inferior SharePoint website, please don’t force it on us in the app as well. **Developer response:** Thanks for writing to us.

This redesign focus was misguided. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless *2024-04-16* Worst MS product ever. I like that our Teams videos show up in this app and you can download the videos so I tried this for the plane. Turns out if you don’t have internet you cannot watch the videos you downloaded ### 1/5 — useless *2023-11-13* requires account doesnt let you set one up. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-05-16* 9 times out of 10 this app won’t work on mobile. On a desktop or laptop, I can stream videos no problem. On mobile, every time I try to watch a video it immediately says “oh no! Something went wrong” **Developer response:** Dear user, we are sorry about the issues you are facing. I am a part of the Stream product team and would like to address your issue with the app on priority but would be restricted due to word limit on App Store. Could you write to streammobapp@microsoft.com for a detailed chat? ### 1/5 — Bad update *2023-03-02, version 2.2.105* Before this app used to be pretty good, get video to computer quickly, embed into power point. Now for the life of me I can’t even upload videos into streams. Which is the main purpose of streams.. **Developer response:** Thanks for writing to us.

Now, the option has been removed. I am sad.

Why revamp an app and not have all of the features ready at launch. All in all this is a complete failure by Microsoft. **Developer response:** Thanks for writing to us. Please accept our apologies for the issues you are facing on the app. Rest assured that we are listening, and your feedback is valuable to us. Search functionality on the revamped Stream app should help you search for videos with the name of the person, along with the ability to get back to watchlist.

But it need a bit of improvement to make the experience perfect. - The second for forward. Like 5 sec instead of 30 Sec.

My regards☺️🤎 ### 4/5 — Excellent but needs work *2020-09-23, version 1.3.2* It’s excellent but needs work. The two things I really want on this app is where sometimes I’ll have amazing connection to my wifi but the voice still glitches, also WHY IS THERE NO ZOOM IN BUTTON!!!!!! It really bugs me and I hope you can fix it pleae ### 4/5 — Suggestions *2019-12-24, version 1.1.11* Would be great to have channel navigation in this app like the browser version has. Also would be great to remember your spot in a long video when you break it up across multiple listening sessions **Developer response:** Hello exchelente, Thank you for providing this valuable feedback. We are working hard to getting channels and groups up and running. Thank you! ### 4/5 — Can’t choose group to upload to *2019-10-02, version 1.1.8* I don’t want my video made companywide. Why can’t I choose to upload and have it viewable in groups that I select like I can using a browser? **Developer response:** Hello Tupstub, Thank you for providing this valuable feedback. Today the app only allows private or completely public sharing. We are working hard to getting channels and groups available in the app. In the meantime - you can edit channel permissions in the browser. Thank you! ### 4/5 — Recent Problems *2019-08-02, version 1.1.4* Having to upload videos on a daily basis I was ecstatic when the mobile app finally appeared and didn't have to log-in to O365 online and upload from iCloud. However, Lately, EVERTIME I start the Stream app I get an “Ooops...” error from the app. This error won’t allow me to do ANYTHING in the app and it freezes. I have deleted and reinstalled but the same thing happens. Is this a known issue? I love the app but right now it is useless! **Developer response:** Hi stlBrad, Sor­ry to hear that the app hasn't been work­ing well for you when up­load­ing videos. Could you reach out to our team at streamiosstore@mi­crosoft­.­com so we can lend a hand? Thank you! Best, Cindy ### 4/5 — I love Stream *2019-01-05, version 1.0.1* What a great product to add to the many awesome MS products. The only thing preventing 5 stars is the inability to share a link to the video. Desktop version gets 5 stars though. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
