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 ### 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? 🤦🏾‍♂️ ### 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 ### 3/5 — Not great, not terrible *2025-09-14, version 3.8.13* Honest its not the worst app to use. I did run into a few issue that the chat would stop and i had to full close down the app and reopen it. Luckily i stream on my pc and use my tablet as a controller only. Other than that i have the occasional sign out and its a pain to get signed back in but it can be done. So yeah its decent for what youll need a few improvements could be made. 3/5! ### 1/5 — Who likes this *2025-08-01, version 3.8.13* This by far the worst app I have ever used since IPhone 2 ### 2/5 — Did not give me the option to sign into TikTok *2025-07-17, version 3.8.13* Smh ### 1/5 — Getting worse *2025-06-08, version 3.8.13* This app is getting worse in every update. Harder to connect. When connected, it doesn’t even show the scenes. I have to press a series of buttons to show the scenes but then it disconnects and reconnects the stream just to show the list of scenes. Even then, the scenes are not in order, just random. Rewind back a couple months and we’re cool. ### 1/5 — Its just twitch *2025-05-08, version 3.8.13* I can’t access the controls or anything ### 4/5 — problème *2025-02-28* bonjour est ce que vous savez comment on fait pour connecter son téléphone à son pc car sa me met un message ou sa me marque que j’arrive pas à connecter mon téléphone dans l’onglet remote ### 2/5 — Stupid stupid stupid feature *2025-02-24, version 3.8.7* GIVE ME BACK THE TAP TO MUTE ON THE MIC CONTROL ### 1/5 — New update destroyed app for themes? *2025-02-22, version 3.8.7* The entire app wont work anymore for some themes? What is this? No one asked for this. It worked before better then this now i have no audio source, i have no idea what button does what. They just destroyed streamlabs im using obs. ### 2/5 — Can’t Connect *2025-02-03, version 3.7.6* I can’t connect my phone to my pc. It use to work a couple of weeks ago but now it doesn’t ### 4/5 — Bugs *2025-01-31, version 3.7.6* The only complaint I have is of the bugginess it takes like 10 tries everytime I want to connect my phone to my pc ### 2/5 — Deleted after 5 minutes *2025-01-20, version 3.7.6* The point is so you don’t have to use another device to control your stream. Why do you want us to be logged in from our desktop app in order to control the controller on our phone? Really defeats the purpose of this apps convenience. We only need to use one device to control our stream and one device to record from we don’t want extra stuff to handle during stream ### 1/5 — Pls fix this *2024-11-24, version 3.7.6* So I downloaded streamlabs on my windows and I downloaded the streamlabs on the iPhone it doesn’t work like it said connection failed. So pls fix this with the qr code ### 1/5 — Can’t get in *2024-11-21, version 3.7.6* I can’t get in the app and I need to live stream for my subs but I can’t and I want more things to work with on live ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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 ### 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. ### 1/5 — Anmeldung geht nicht mehr *2025-09-14* Ich kann mich aus irgendeinem Grund nicht mehr anmelden weil mein YouTube Account laut App nicht mehr existiert. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2025-09-11, version 3.8.13* Trying to log into the app under any type of account just leads to an error upon closing and reopening the app you then need to refill in your information only to get another error useless app ### 1/5 — Login issues *2025-09-10, version 3.8.13* When I login via YouTube, the process won’t go beyond the permissions screen. You basically click “Allow” and then nothing happens. ### 1/5 — I LOVE IT/ *Update 9/9/2025* *2025-09-09, version 3.8.13* When I tell you that it was a struggle learning how to change scene to scene manually, it was tough. But I ended up stumbling across this awesome app. It comes in handy so much. Thank you StreamLabs for this beautiful and easy to use app. You guys are awesome 💯🙏🏾🥰 *Update* So I click on the app and it’s glitching in and out. I restarted my phone and everything and it’s still not working. It’s not my phone at all. Trying to understand what’s going on ### 1/5 — Schlecht *2025-08-18* Xbox startet der Stream nicht Login mehrfach fehlgeschlagen, weil eure Seite kein tab erlaubt also anscheinend nicht jedes Mal Connection zu der Xbox wird nicht aufgebaut. Stream startet gar nicht erst fehlende Erklärung, wie man was miteinander verbindet. Auf Xbox gibt es auch gar keinen Account, in denen man sich einloggen kann und auch keine Möglichkeit, sich mit seinem Microsoft Account einzuloggen. Ihr seid komplett der schlechteste Streaming Anbieter. Ich hoffe ihr werdet von der Xbox geschmissen so ein Dreck ne halbe Stunde Zeit mit euch und eure Müll verschwendet. Danke dafür für Nix nie wieder Streamlabs ### 1/5 — J’arrive pas a me connecter *2025-08-15* Je n’arrive pas à me connecter, ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2025-03-16, version 3.8.10* For finally letting me able to tap the Mute button. Appreciated. ### 5/5 — O controle não funciona *2024-10-29* Depois da atualização do Mac ### 5/5 — Loving this thing for my streams but 1 thing *2024-10-27* The only thing stopping me is that I can’t pause my streams but everything else is just perfection no lag no cyber bullying I love this app 10/10 ### 5/5 — Pretty good but it isnt loading existing scenes *2024-10-21, version 3.6.18* Please fix this. I can’t transition scenes smoothly if my scenes don’t even show up!! ### 5/5 — I LOVE IT *2024-06-09* When I tell you that it was a struggle learning how to change scene to scene manually, it was tough. But I ended up stumbling across this awesome app. It comes in handy so much. Thank you StreamLabs for this beautiful and easy to use app. You guys are awesome 💯🙏🏾🥰 ### 5/5 — Save your money *2024-05-28, version 3.6.18* Use this for a free stream deck, why pay $100+ for a el gato when you can use this for free with more buttons. it’s great really, I use it for all of my streams with no issues. ### 5/5 — Update Doesn’t work *2023-12-28, version 3.6.14* Updated to the newest version just for it to stop working. I’ve tried YouTube, in app support, everything and it will not connect no matter what I do. Very disappointed ### 5/5 — Perfect for live-streaming on the Mac OS! *2023-11-21, version 3.6.14* As of right now there’s fewer disruptions in connection for the Mac than for mobile phones! Plays really smoothly and gives access to numerous features with the remote ### 5/5 — Fish *2023-10-31, version 3.6.12* 5 star because In the morning when I go to school and I come home then it’s y’know there --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
