### 1/5 — App doesn’t want to exist

*2026-01-23*

I can log in and view stream chats, but if I try to watch them the stream video is not there, however I get 2 iphone pop ups wanting to redirect me to one of my search engines to watch the stream in a new tab, however they dont work. So even your own app is telling me to not use it, attempts to open a more competent app in the process to serve its function instead, and fails to do that as well.

Your app is telling me it doesn’t want to exist

### 1/5 — Can’t even register

*2025-12-08, version 2.0.19*

Completely unusable app cannot even figure out how to send and authorization email

### 1/5 — It’s most likely abandoned

*2025-11-17, version 2.0.19*

Despite being an official app, the devs update this once in a blue moon. It’s bad enough that Picarto is really wonky over on desktop, it’s unforgivable that they let the app version to rot in a very obsolete state.

Thank God for Piczel.

### 1/5 — Signing up went wrong.

*2025-11-09, version 2.0.19*

I didn‘t receive any emails when I sign up on app, and now I can't use that e-mail on the website page.

### 1/5 — Idea is good, app is buggy

*2025-09-18, version 2.0.19*

Long loading screen times, streams that never load, buggy ui, pop-ups asking you to open it in browser (which never does). I'd love to watch the streams on mobile but it's too buggy for me to use it on a newer iphone (10)

### 1/5 — Don’t use

*2025-07-22, version 2.0.19*

This is the worst app I’ve ever used for streaming first i couldn’t make an account it never sent me an email yes I check spam and junk luckily my friend had an account so i logged in through theirs then it just runs poorly and constantly ask you to open browser

### 1/5 — Couldn’t register

*2025-07-06, version 2.0.19*

I tried two different emails and couldn’t register. I agreed to notifications on the second try, and I really hope I don’t get hundreds of notifications for a service that I can’t even use.

### 1/5 — Can’t mske new account

*2025-06-20, version 2.0.19*

I’m having a problem when I try to make a new account because it won’t allow me to continue even when i accept the ToS. Anyway to fix?

### 1/5 — What’s the point?

*2025-05-27, version 2.0.19*

I can’t use the app to view steams anyway, it just keeps booting me to the web browser.

### 1/5 — The video is just black…

*2025-04-07, version 2.0.19*

this is a video streaming app. So why did the video not work half the time I try to watch a channel? It’s been like this for a year
