### 1/5 — Frustrating and Unreliable

*2018-04-21, version 3.4.0*

This app is loaded on my iphone 6. When I start up my hotspot and then turn on the vidiu pro it spins and spins while looking for a wireless connection. Pressing the bluetooth button results in the same condition. It never gets to the screen offering you an opportunity to use your hotspot. Once in a while it seems to work and once you get connected (after 10 minutes of frustration) the app seems to monitor the stream. 
I have found that the fastest most reliable setup is to just use the buttons on the device. Unfortunately it is almost impossible to read the screen in daylight. Great hardware, bad software.

### 1/5 — Great app, but now incompatible!

*2017-07-10*

For some unexplained reason, this app is now not working for iPad 4th generation (a perfectly good piece of hardware). Teradek shouldn't be forcing us to upgrade hardware that's still viable.

### 1/5 — Not Compatible with Ipad?

*2017-07-04, version 3.0.0*

The latest update is not compatible with Ipad? I have this app already installed on the Ipad....please fix!!

### 1/5 — Not working right

*2017-07-04, version 3.0.0*

Will not allow you to change the pages on Facebook. Real problem.

### 1/5 — Could be great

*2016-08-05, version 2.6.1*

Great app when it works, but it is to buggy for professional use.

### 1/5 — Says you can use Facebook

*2016-05-08, version 2.6.0*

I can't see the button for Facebook.... I have a videu

### 1/5 — Waiting for upgrade

*2015-09-26, version 2.4*

This upgrade has deemed the vidiu mini unuseable due to disappearing login/password input boxes. Teradek know about this major bug and say they have submitted updated version to App Store. We're still waiting! Don't buy mini until this is fixed!

### 1/5 — Won't connect to iPhone's hotspot

*2015-04-09, version 2.2.1*

Will not connect to my iPhone's hotspot. Tried it via iOS 8.2.z, now with 8.3, with the latest firmware and app. Running an iPhone 5S with AT&T.

### 1/5 — New update breaks interface

*2014-09-30, version 1.11*

Great app until this new update.  Don't update until a fix is released.  Will not work on ios 7 or ios 8.

### 1/5 — Broken interface

*2014-09-29, version 1.11*

The interface is completely broken after the update. Can't even select a CDN or start a broadcast. On both the iPhone and iPad running iOS 8.0.2.

### 1/5 — Won't connect after update

*2014-05-15, version 1.9.1*

The VidiU would connect and worked great. I installed v1.9.1 and now it still sees the device but always says "Please Try Again" when choosing the device.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2023-12-09, version 4.4.6*

I’ve had the VidiU X for some time.  I have yet to figure out how to get it to connect to a cellular device.

### 1/5 — Crashes on launch

*2022-06-22, version 4.4.5*

Used to be a useful tool, now it crashes on launch (June 2022)

### 1/5 — Crashes on launch

*2022-02-23, version 4.4.3*

iPhone 13 Pro Max. Unusable.

### 1/5 — Won’t launch

*2021-02-23, version 4.4.1*

Installed this app on my iPhone and iPad but it crashes as soon you launch it - on both devices. I’m on iOS 12.5.

### 1/5 — Won’t launch

*2020-12-22, version 4.4.1*

It crashes when launching on my iPhone.    Non stop issues with their encoders over the years

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2019-10-28, version 4.1.0*

Something has happened, and even after rebooting my phone, I still can’t get the app to open without crashing. Based on the reviews here... I am not alone.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2019-09-26, version 4.0.0*

This app does nothing but crash on start-up.

I’ve only just received a VidiU Pro at work and just downloaded this app, hoping it would make navigating the VP easier. So far, I can’t get it to do anything but crash as soon as it opens.

### 1/5 — Crash and burn

*2019-07-21, version 4.0.0*

This App used to work ok, but recently with updates it crashes every time you connect to a wireless network where the Vidiu player is connected.

### 1/5 — Wish I could give it -1 Stars

*2019-07-18, version 4.0.0*

I haven’t had any good experiences with this app and my new VidiU Go since I upgraded from the VidiU Pro. 

They really need to get on the ball asap and fix this thing.

### 1/5 — Vidiu pro

*2019-02-03, version 3.9.0*

This app needs to be updated as it crashes all the time when you go to change the video settings and login settings to YouTube.

### 5/5 — Great app with some improvements needed

*2020-12-08, version 4.4.0*

This app does the job very well. The ratings here seem to be quite old that perhaps reflect issues with prior versions of the app. I have used this app a lot over the last two months to livestream in combination with a Vidiu device from Teradek and have had zero issues. Maintains a strong reliable connection for hours of livestreaming with no interruptions. The only improvement that would add significant value would be to be able to view the preview video in full-screen/landscape mode. Else it is tiny and can barely satisfy the requirements of monitoring the output of the Vidiu device. Also, the app should continue to do it’s job in the background when one navigates away from it.. it drops the link to the Vidiu device if you try and use another app.

### 5/5 — Perfectly what I was looking for !

*2013-07-29, version 1.3.1*

This app Works perfectly and it's really easy to use

### 4/5 — Vidiu app is pretty good but...

*2017-01-03, version 2.7.2*

Overall I'm happy with the application but specifically for Facebook streaming, it would be great if the app supported all the features of the platforms such as setting the location of the stream and things like that which are key features to get viewers watching the live content.

### 4/5 — Fast with 64 bit

*2015-02-07, version 2.1*

The app is great with 64 bit support, love the option to create YouTube events within the app.

Please add Landscap mode for screen display

### 4/5 — Great app! Amazing feautures

*2014-05-24, version 1.9.3*

We are using this app as part of our live stream production of our colleges graduation. Only
Problem we ran into is that our iPhone 4 and 4s could no connect to the vidiu rendering the app useless. Worked great on 5s!

### 3/5 — After iOS 9

*2015-09-20, version 2.4*

It was great until iOS 9, now it's glitchy and some of the buttons do not appear. Waiting for them to send out an iOS 9 compatible update.

### 3/5 — Frustrating.

*2015-04-18, version 2.2.1*

Will not connect to my VidiU unit via iPhone5s running iOS 8.3, however, it works correctly with my iPad Air(1) running 8.3. Ironically, the app is designed specifically for the phone.

### 2/5 — iPad app doesn’t rotate?

*2020-05-03, version 4.2.0*

Installed the app on my iPad Pro.  Wanting to use the app in landscape orientation, but the app doesn’t rotate?  This needs to be fixed.

### 2/5 — Unreliable

*2017-12-12, version 3.2.0*

The app is a must to set up the hardware. That part works well. However when it comes time to stream my video, The connection from the app to the unit is unreliable. I am stuck using the buttons on the unit. I wouldn’t have purchased the VIDIU Pro knowing the lack of control and reliability.

### 2/5 — No landscape support

*2014-05-02, version 1.9*

Users are (currently) unable to view a video feed in landscape mode, only portrait, which is really inconvenient for monitoring video feeds on an iPhone screen.
