2025-03-13	Du*****	I’ve enjoyed this streaming app on my iPhone for a few weeks now, so it seemed natural to install it on my iPad. While it streams nicely on the iPhone, on the iPad the only thing I can get to stream is a video about the app that is embedded into the app. I can’t get any of the streaming channels to play on the iPad. The video thumbnail will blink when tapped but nothing more. The introduction page and embedded video remain. Restarting the app (side window) shows changes in scenes/programming, which implies that the app is capable of connecting to the servers. This only serves to complicate things.

And while this app is miles above where we used to be, the thing that prevents me from using it is there is no stream chat! That takes away half of what people do when watching a stream. Add a tab by the about/links button for chat, and give people the ability to talk to interact just as is on each instance! 😊 It’s a critical feature for ensuring usage of the app!
