### 1/5 — WHY CANT I SCREEN RECORD

*2021-07-23*

I HATE THIS APP BECAUSE I CANT RECORD AND THIS IS THE WORST

### 1/5 — How to take off 5 min limit

*2018-07-01, version 5.1*

Стримит отлично, но только 5 минут ограничение, дальше отправляет на сайт разработчика, который не работает

### 1/5 — Requires registration

*2017-01-19*

App won't run without an account.

### 2/5 — Why can't I get rid of video logo?

*2016-11-26*

This app logo is HUGE? You cannot turn it off. Even if you want to use your own logo. It takes up a large part of the lower right of your screen. 

Software itself works fine. Fix that logo and I would have given more stars.

### 5/5 — It works perfectly

*2016-07-11*

It's awesome

### 1/5 — Mr

*2015-08-28*

App doesn't work as advertised with Parrot Bebop/Skycontroller. nanocosmos GmbH, Berlin, Germany replied with an email  demand for Euro 125 annual cost for nanoStream iOS software use with Parrot Bebop integration ( excluding any traffic cost ) to fix it. I declined and asked Apple to refund the purchase price of my new iphone 6. Apple agreed.

### 1/5 — Former nanoStream user

*2015-01-20*

Whats with the 2.5 minute limit. Let me know when it works with DaCast. In the mean time I’ll remove this app.

### 4/5 — The best encoding

*2014-09-12, version 2.0.0*

Very very good software quality encoder..!!
At the moment i think the best in appstore..!!!
It is good for livestreaming events..!!
Honever it is limited to 2 minutes of livestreaming; it is not possible switch between 16/9 or 4/3 frame resolution (for example 640x360); it is not possible block white balancing like other software encoding; in not possible working in udp or Mpeg-ts mode ..!!!!!
But the quality of the streaming is LIKE BROADCAST HARDWARE ENCODER.!!!!

### 1/5 — It Works!

*2014-09-09, version 2.0.0*

I just purchased this but before I can use it I have to make an account (which I did) but when I try to log-in it won't let me!!
Add, to be fair I contacted nano and they told me they had a server down, it took a couple of days but it all works fine now. Thanks Guys for listening.
