Used to be good ... the "updates" are ruining everything
JustTrixie
I have been using this app as a viewer (not a broadcaster) for 4 years now and it used to be a good app. For the past 12 - 18 months, though, it has been getting steadily worse. It crashes regularly, the content replay comes through very jumpy and the programs break up or lose sound regularly. You have to back out of what you're watching and go back in multiple times per view because of the error "something went wrong, please try again". This has been going on for a LONG time. If the devs would actually try to figure out what that "something" is and fix it, it would go a long way toward increasing my rating. Now, it seems that they have "sunsetted" the follow feature so now you can't follow your favorite channels. Instead, you have to find them in the search bar every time you log in - NOT cool! If the "updates" start actually improving anything, I'll come back and edit my rating and review. That works both ways too ... if it continues to deteriorate, I'll let ya know.
Less than a ⭐️

Since IBM came on board, this app is awful. Used to be excellent to view. All channels I once followed were “removed” somehow from my “following list” and now when I try to follow those same channels a statement comes up stating “ this feature is sunsetted,” which I have never gotten an acceptable answer to when I sent emails to support.
Following Channels Glitches

I have several channels that I follow and every time I go to my “following” option, it says there are no channels. When I scroll through “popular” to find one, it’s there and the “unfollow” button is now illuminated, which means I’m still following it, but it won’t show up in my “following” channels. Please fix!
Used to be decent

For all intents and purposes it seems like Ustream had removed the option to follow certain streams. Thanks to this I have completely lost track of certain small content creators due to this asinine decision. So long notifications for these streams.
Unreal! Have no interested in their members!

I have been using UStream for about 10 years now! I’m not a business or any type of organization so I have no reason to pay for a membership! I’m a nature lover! I love watching “some” of the pet cams & animal rescue cams. I had a nice but small collection of cams I had been following for about 10 years. One morning I get up & look at my favorites on my “Following” list & it’s gone! When I try to get my favs back a pop-up appears that states, “Feature is Sunsetted”. After doing some research I found this means...my favs have been gotten rid of & I can’t have them back, unless I “Pay” for their service! This happened right after the last up-date! I e-mailed UStreams Help line & was informed they won’t help me or give me any kind of information on why they all of a sudden canceled my Following page because I’m “not a paying member!” They were not the least bit nice & I was left to feel like a low life! They talked down to me as if I was! Wish I could give them 0 stars just for the rudeness & their total lack of concern.
Now Completely Useless

Ustream has finally done it, they have "sun-setted" the ability to follow your favorite channels. Opened the app last week and my entire list of channels was wiped clean. If you try to follow any channel it tells you the feature is "sun-setted". This is now primarily a commercial app and the original purpose for the regular folks has been wiped out by the new owner IBM and their "IBM Cloud". You can still watch but you'll have to remember the channels, no following allowed.
Developers “Subsetted” the App. GOODBYE!

Too bad the new owners of Ustream let this app basically die. Like others have said, this app is no longer functional, feeds have disappeared, and favorites can no longer be found. Don’t bother downloading. I don’t expect to see this app in the App Store much longer.
