But I went to use my blue yeti like usual and even when it was plugged in properly, the audio wouldn’t pick up from the yeti. It just went through my phone mic. Even when I messed with the audio settings, nothing worked. It’s not the cords or anything because i successfully recorded sound through it on my phone camera. Not sure why this is happening. ### 2/5 — New update *2026-08-21, version 5.0.3* For me personally Everything works pretty well for the new update. The only thing that I’m having trouble with is hearing sound alerts. No matter how much I adjust through the stream labs site, the volume for sound alerts still sound very low. Barley can even hear them. ### 3/5 — Please fix *2026-08-21, version 5.0.3* Yall need to fix a few things like I can’t see the number of viewers anymore ### 3/5 — Really good, but recent update has a major bug *2026-08-21, version 5.0.3* I really like this app because it’s super easy to livestream. You log into your channel, start the stream, stop it when you’re done, and the stream gets saved to your channel. However, since the recent update, my livestream sometimes switches from portrait to landscape, shows black bars, and then the footage becomes corrupted. It has happened three streams in a row and in multiple games. Normal screen recording works fine. Please fix this! ### 2/5 — iPhone Audio Broken *2026-08-17, version 5.0.3* After the latest update, audio that comes from Streamlabs no longer plays from the loud speaker but instead from the tiny ear speaker and is basically inaudible during streaming. Please fix this. ### 4/5 — Chat is not working *2026-08-17, version 5.0.3* When start the youtube stream chat is not connecting! ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2026-08-17, version 5.0.3* I used to use this a lot and it was really good for streaming on YouTube back then but now I can’t even log into TikTok with it for absolutely no reason when I click TikTok it’s bugged and everything is moved up and I can’t scroll down and do it, and using Google to log in just doesn’t do anything(I’m on mobile) ### 2/5 — It’s not very good. *2026-08-15, version 5.0.3* This app will be 100% fixed if on mobile when I switch apps, I don’t get my stream crashed. Developers please fix this. It gets really annoying every single stream when I have to restart it because I swipe out of the app on accident or move apps ### 1/5 — Unable To Go Live On My iPhone 17 Pro Max *2026-08-15, version 5.0.3* The new update will not allow me to go live. It saids “Go Live” but the sub menu underneath does not allow me to select “Streamlabs” this is the menu right before you go live where you can see “Photos” and so on. I’ve tried it on different phones with the same result. I don’t have the full version but been a loyal user for years. I would like to know what I can do to resolve this issue. Thank you and much love to the Dev Team. NOMAD ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-08-14, version 5.0.2* Just sucks ### 1/5 — Worst streaming app in existence *2026-08-13, version 5.0.2* So I am trying do a live stream NOT SCHEDULED and they start scheduling it for example I wanted ready for 5pm because we are 5pm and after like 10 minutes the live stream doesn’t even start saying planned for 5pm while we’re like 5h20 Do not use this app ### 1/5 — Forced Ultra now??? *2026-08-13, version 5.0.1* Absolutely ridiculous! You guys took away the auto reconnect for people to buy your ultra. I'm definitely not buying it now. I'm matter of fact I'm gonna start using a different app. You guys updated the app broke more benefits absolutely insane ### 3/5 — I Loved StreamLabs before the Update *2026-08-13, version 5.0.1* I use StreamLabs for going live on my YouTube channel, it was working perfectly fine for me but there was an update and since then my camera just freezes when I try to go live the pages get stuck so I have to force quit them! Please bring the old stream labs back please! ### 1/5 — TikTok mobile connection *2026-08-13, version 5.0.1* You fixed the YT connection now fix the TT connection but able on mobile app able to connect automatically like on desktop or gatekeeping TT is hard to pair with Streamlabs thinking of switching to OBS instead. ### 1/5 — Letztes Update *2026-08-13* Nach dem letzten Update kein Chat mehr zu sehen im Handy, für streamer die auf dem Chat eingehen wollten also ganz schlecht! Auch habe ich Ton Probleme seit dem Update! Für zahlende Kunden muss es ein direkt Support geben! Wer gibt mir die Kohle zurück die ich verloren habe durch das letzte Update da der Stream ausging,kein Chat, keine Einnahmen! Dann brauch ich auch nicht zahlen.. **Developer response:** We are very sorry for the chat, audio, and stream drop issues after the update.

The stream just cuts out and makes me go back to Streamlabs./: really annoying!!! and I can’t even use the live streaming after the new update happened. the new update is broken. It won’t even let me go LIVE/: ### 3/5 — Was good, but unusable now *2026-08-12, version 5.0.0* I’ve been using this app for 2 years now and since a recent update, it is annoying me. I try to stream an upcoming stream I made on YouTube and when I try to go live, it sends me to a page where the title, etc is removed. It forces me to rewrite the title, but then the keypad doesn’t go away and blocks the go live button. I tried swiping down, tapping the screen, but I can’t get the keypad off. Why remove my title in the first place? Sort it out StreamLabs! ### 1/5 — I cannot stream *2026-08-12, version 5.0.0* Downloaded a few days ago, but the new update that they just rolled out a few days ago whenever I want to stream, it just goes back to the start. Also, whenever you try to put the name/description for the stream stays on your screen until you swipe off the app Please fix this ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible sign in *2026-08-26, version 5.0.3* This app is honestly so annoying I don't even have a phone and Its not even allowing me to start live streaming to youtube,the only reason I got this stupid app was to screen share on ios this app is so annoying for people that don't have phones please make another option to sign in ### 1/5 — Please fix *2026-08-22, version 5.0.3* Hello I am on the iPad 6th generation and when I press the go live button the app freezes.
