If your organization forces this app on you know that they hate you. ### 1/5 — Worst streaming app ever!! *2026-04-03, version 1.5.4* I rarely write a review, but this app deserves leaving a review. I am very surprised why big universities use this app with all the issues it has. I never stopped a video and can easy resume. Streaming is there for long time, why this app struggles !! ### 1/5 — I WOULD RATE 0 STARS, BUT IT DOESN’T ALLOW ME *2026-03-04, version 1.5.4* This has got to be the worst app universities could have chosen. Im not sure if the iPad app version is as buggy, but for iPhone, I am literally having to open and see a video and then if it’s buggy, having to close the WHOLE APP AND HAVING TO OPEN THE VIDEO AGAIN FOR THE SMALL CHANCE OF BEING ABLE TO WATCH A RECORDING WITHOUT ANY BUGS. I hate it so much. I’d rather drink recently used public toilet water than have to use this app ever again. I am willing to say something worse, but I don’t want this comment taken down. The worst app ever created. Feels like it was coded by a disabled blind monkey who typed random codes onto the computer. ### 1/5 — Audio doesn’t match *2026-03-03, version 1.5.4* Every time I open a video the audio resets to the very beginning of the video, even if the video is halfway through. It doesn’t ever reset to the right spot and even if you put it back to the beginning and try to skip ahead the audio still will not match. Doesn’t matter how many times you open and close the app it just never works ### 1/5 — Can’t upload vids *2026-03-01, version 1.5.4* There is no point to this app anymore. It won’t upload vids anymore (iPhone nor iPad), so I have to upload to OneDrive, go to my computer, download the video, upload it to the Panopto site. I spent more time trying to upload the videos than I did making them. ### 1/5 — Blank screen *2026-02-24, version 1.5.4* The app just pretends to load for a second and then shows a blank screen. Uninstalling doesn’t fix it either ### 2/5 — Playback issues *2026-02-12, version 1.5.4* Video works except if you want to fast forward or rewind, then the video does not play correctly ### 1/5 — Wont let me sign in *2026-01-26, version 1.5.4* Wont even let me sign in, absolutely useless pile of garbage ### 1/5 — H *2026-01-14, version 1.5.4* Really buggy ## Frequently asked questions about Panopto ### What can I do with Panopto Mobile?
