### 3/5 — Disconnects

*2026-06-15, version 3.8.18*

The remote is good for the most part but every once in awhile it will reset itself and disconnect…

### 1/5 — Won’t load up the remote.

*2026-03-21, version 3.8.16*

Log into my Twitch account to connect this app to the account. And nope it just won’t load up my stuff. The chat will work. But of course the remote doesn’t. Sadly this app will be deleted.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-01-08, version 3.8.16*

I’ve been using stream labs for the past three years and it has been a great tool, even without the subscription.

### 3/5 — Said I need a desktop

*2026-01-08, version 3.8.16*

It kept saying I need a desktop to connect Even though I was already connected

### 3/5 — Multi streaming

*2025-12-02, version 3.8.16*

I have purchased the ultra package in the past I have used the twitch app to see chat. Now that I have started multi-streaming I have looked for other options to see chat from my iPad this has allowed that my one big issue is I have to switch back and forth between the chats also it dose not have implementation for all of the streaming services I wish to broadcast to such as TikTok

### 1/5 — Please let me control the mobile version of Streamlabs

*2025-11-26, version 3.8.16*

I was hoping I’d be able to use this app to control the mobile version of Streamlabs. I’m disappointed.

### 3/5 — No TikTok option?

*2025-11-16, version 3.8.16*

How do you have TikTok integrated on the Desktop version but not Mobile? 🤦🏾‍♂️

### 1/5 — Not what it used to be

*2025-10-18, version 3.8.16*

The only use you can get out of this app now is reading chat (maybe) if you don’t have a dual monitor setups or something that lets you read chat in real time. Soo all in all absolute dog shi

### 2/5 — Froze

*2025-10-15, version 3.8.16*

I open the app and go to login with my twitch, and it does nothing

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2025-09-17, version 3.8.13*

Streamlabs desktop no longer recognizes the controller app from my iPad or iPhone. I do not have this issue with OBS and the Blade app. Unless this issue is resolved, Streamlabs will be problematic to use, at best.
