Wish video stabilization mode worked

Love this broadcaster but if there were two things I wish it had… video stabilization that worked. Lots of settings but none work. Also wish there was a feedback mechanism in app vs having to go write a review with feedback for an app I pay monthly for. :)

Works but keep an eye on your stream

This app works great and has great customization features. Especially in regards to quality for low bandwidth environments. My only issue is the auto focus, the app will auto focus every other second and you can see it on the app and on the stream. If you change lenses, it’ll help a little but if you do it while transmitting then the audio encoder will crash and make everything sound like chipmunks. If these issues didn’t exist, I’d give 5 stars.

Getting worse and worse… Been using the app for over a year

UPDATE: I did update to your new version from 2 days ago, and the rotation bug is NOT fixed for overlays on PREVIEW, which I use extensively to read live chat and alerts! Its still upside down on preview and only right side up on the live end feed. Please test your product because its frustrating having to pay subscription for the product and be your QA as well. I use the software 5 days a week and this has been broken for 2 versions now, I can now only broadcast without live rotation mode until this is fixed… very frustrated. Had no problem with paying monthly fee except now there are more bugs than ever!! Latest bug makes overlays upside down when using live rotation mode, is there anyone even testing this app before releasing new versions? Not to mention it now crashes freq and does not support srtla … it was a good app I will give it one more week to fix the upside down overlays before deleting and cancel my monthly sub.

Eh… subscriptions

I loved the app when it was free now that it has subscriptions with bugs that have been there since the beginning it sorta is disappointing to see. The bug that I been running into is while swapping between cameras it sometimes causes the application to drop all audio. If that was fixed possibly maybe I’d consider getting the subscription but until then I’ll see myself out. All I can ask is to please reconsider I get it is better to get paid for your work but at least fix the bugs before you decide to make it a paid product.

Terrible

This used to be a very good app. Instead of creating new features and charging for those, they took features that we had already been used to for free and started charging for them. This is the opposite of the way apps should be.
