## Review summary

Users praise PocketStreamer for reliable mobile live broadcasting with Icecast/Shoutcast and Radio.co, noting portability and cost savings. However, recurring crashes and reliability problems, plus notable feature gaps (independent streaming/recording and export options), and occasional backend limitations, are the most mentioned issues. The app shows strong potential when it works, but stability and feature parity are the main areas needing improvement.

### Pros

- Reliable performance is frequently highlighted, with reviewers saying it works like a charm and is often the only working option among Icecast/Shoutcast apps on iOS.
- Back-end versatility is a strength, as the app supports Icecast/Shoutcast as well as Radio.co for live streaming.
- Portable and cost-saving benefits are noted, enabling mobile live broadcasts from an iPhone/iPad and helping stations save money.
- User-friendly for live broadcasting on iOS, making it accessible for on-the-go shows.

### Cons

- Crashes and reliability issues are repeatedly reported across updates and iOS versions (Go Live crashes, disconnections, and instances of the app 'basically stopping working').
- Missing essential features are a common theme, especially the desire for independent streaming and recording with the ability to record/export streams.
- Some functionality appears tied to a Radio.co account in certain scenarios, which can limit use with Icecast/Shoutcast backends and cause inconsistency in behavior.
