Crowdcast Mobile Reviews

by DOZILLA

There was a conference on this app and after purchasing a ticket I was sent a link. Using that link I went right from the email on my iPad to the conference. HOWEVER, the browser window was too small on my iPad and I couldn’t use the “comment,” “Question” or re-size window options. Frustrated, I downloaded Crowdcast thinking this would solve the problem. I put in my email (I had a profile, or so the website window said) but what I got when I signed in that email was a “link” emailed to me that I was instructed to follow. Which took me right back to the browser!!!

In short, I could NOT use Crowdcast to go to MY event. If I signed in with, for example, my facebook page, it didn’t recognize me as me (not the same email) and that I was a member of this conference I was attending. So, no going there. If I tried to sign in with my email...well, Crowdcast wouldn’t let me do that. It just keep sending me email links back to the browser window!

What’s the deal this app? Your app will let me do all kinds of things (adjust the window and such) but it won’t let me access my conference. It won’t even let me sign up as a member unless I use facebook or gmail or twitter NONE OF WHICH I COULD USE IF I WANTED TO GET TO MY CONFERENCE! Meanwhile, the browser will let me access the conference but not do anything but watch it! 😡😝👎🏻

You can’t enjoy a talk via this app because it keeps buffering, freezing, losing sound, then losing video. And since it’s live, you can’t go back to hear/see what you missed. And it STILL does all that annoying stuff when you watch a replay! I’ve gotten to dread watching talks on this app because I know I will end up frustrated, angry, and disgusted. Yet HRP keeps using it as a platform even though literally hundreds of people complain in the comments section during the talks. Everyone complains about it but no improvements are made! Mind-boggling. this app stinks.

Thank you. It is so weird, yet in every other mechanism or talk of this kind on other formats, the podcast simply carries through.
For this format, as in previous times, the session keeps being halted, not restarting, and requiring my starting entire process of going back and registering again. I come back in and Caroline has been talking for maybe 5 if lucky to 8 minutes with duck, bobbing and weaving to rejoin here.
Tonight really thankfully, on the last maybe 1/6 of Caroline’s talk it didn’t cut out which was such a blessing. Thanks again for asking for honest feedback.

I love the interviews I’ve been able to see in this app. Because of numerous glitches in transmission, we all missed half a sentence of what the author was saying, and we missed that half sentence way too often. Many times it was a sentence and a half. It was a thoughtful, honest interview and I was quite disappointed that I didn’t hear it all. It affected the quality of the interview experience.

Now, the problem could have been that the author was in Stockholm and the rest of us were in the US. Also, given the choice of this poorly transmitted interview and no interview, I’d take this interview. What a conversation! That’s probably why I found all the lost words so disappointing.

by Goddess Of Spirit Cave

.Thanks for doing this for us free. Your choice of this app did not work too well. My friend had problems and so did I. I had to go out and come back in several times. For 2 speakers yesterday the chat bar worked. However on the reminder of day and now on second day chat not working. And I got Marc again so did not see Jessie Torres so I missed her. Thanks I love motivation. I have done seminars too and loved it. Thanks for your time to put this folks together.

Crowdcast is really great for a lot of different uses. One of my favorite features is the QUESTIONS Tab where people can ask and upvote topics for the presenter to speak about. WHATS BETTER IS that on the replay you can hit the question and it TAKE YOU RIGHT TO THAT TOPIC in the video!! Definitely incredibly useful when you want to go back and listen again, take more notes, catch the answer you missed bc your kids where bugging you for dinner etc.

I JUST WISH IT WOULD FREEZE SO OFTEN DURING THE LIVE STREEM!!!!

1. my external mic directly connected via usb works in all daw or hosts but when I go into the green room it immediately cuts it out. When I use the web version it doesn’t cut the audio channel but it does not register a mic is connected. This occurs also when connecting through my audio interfaces.

2. I am not a fan of entering my account email only to have the system email me a login where I then have click through the email to relogin. How this wasn’t fixed in demo phases is flabbergasting.

3. When sending a video stream from a secondary device the system sound has became unstable many times during a standard broadcast

by Mr Foo

Crowdcast works well for watching streams from Patreon. The chat and video are all good but it has some issues:
* If your switch to another appfor a moment, the video pauses and can only be restarted by rejoining the stream
* You cannot send the stream to an Apple TV
* The chat window is too big relative to the video
* Not sure where the problem is: audio clips sometimes for no obvious reason.

I can never access. Today I did not receive the email. Finally got in commented hi and was kicked off. Tried the entire hour and when I got in no picture. No sound. Kicked off. Then it was over. Very disappointing.

I purchased the items needed to do the project as a trial for Create and took the day off without pay. Have the items, could not access. This better not happen with Create.

Excellent teaching on the prophetic and hearingGod. There are so many voices on the internet these days but Michael is a voice you can trust because he owns his assignment to only speak what he hears from God and he only speaks if it is in agreement with what the Word says. Today’s teaching lit my fire to listen, be attentive and search the scriptures for what God is saying...to me and so much more. I am speaking Blessings to you Michael and for “that fullness of understanding and wisdom in fulfilling your purpose” to be released to and over you and your ministry. God’s voice through you is clear and crisp. It causes me to long for more.

This had less issues that FB live and it was great to be able to vote on questions to aid the speakers. One thing I miss that FB does is the ability to immediately comment on someone’s post in the comment section. I had to type to them so everyone could read it rather than just tap their name and comment to just them.
Less connectivity issues too so that was nice to have less problems than FB live.

I loved it!!!! I have long had a past life memory of being abused by my father after my mother’s death. In this life, my mother died when I was 15 and my father abandoned me and my younger brother when he started dating at 3 months after her death. When my husband died in 2016 soooo much grief engulfed me. A couple years after he died, I dreamt I found a doll in a small coffin that was hidden in my mother’s closet - I took her out and held her for a short while and then replaced her in the coffin and left her in my mother’s closet. This activation brought her back to me!!! So happy to be reunited with her- I can’t thank you enough!!! Many blessings!❤️🙏😘

It was terrific. The moderator was very good at keeping things going with interesting and probing questions, and as a long time Connelly reader, it was great to hear and see him responding about his process and characters, with whom I have developed what seems like a near personal relationship. The only problem-perhaps unique to me-was that I experienced several audio/video glitches during the broadcast which to a minor extent interrupted the flow for me. All in all, kudos to the Savannah Book festival for making such an enjoyable evening possible. I only wish there was more time for audience questions.

1) accidentally clicked on the “how’s it go”.l because it popped up suddenly and the hit box is large did I vote thumbs up or thumbs down? Hopefully up, not sure. Was on the right side of the screen which maybe gets more random hits.

2) the video/audio cut out a few times, either because my phone put Crowdcast to sleep, or another time after a timer I’d set went off. Phone calls would probably do this too. I would have given up if I was a less technical user, but I eventually found the refresh button. Maybe make that button more prominent. Especially when most of my screen was taken up by the “chat disabled” message. That space could be better utilized. Again though, make the refresh button more accessible please.

Overall a very nice experience, thanks.

I really enjoyed the interview, although there were occasional glitches and I had to refresh a couple of times.
I found the book eye opening, knowing nothing about the van culture. My long-term women’s book club (40years) chose it a couple of months ago and it has really stuck with me.
Looking forward to the movie.
Thank you.

It is so moving to hear from members who were so devoted to follow True Father without ever seeing him, not even a picture of him... and the sister who shared that looks so young all these years later. I believe this is the fruit of True Father's prayers and love and forgiveness for Japan and the key to healing our world. This entire program is so rich and so heartistically beautiful... I can’t wait to see what else is coming. Thank you for making such great effort to put this together. Thank you... I just love it!

What an informative & personable way to witness the courage, commitment and energy of our Congress men and women as they protect our democracy!
A thoroughly enjoyable discussion furthering our getting to know our representatives so much better as individuals with common values 🤗, and in an era where our president provokes shame for what he personally stands for, I’m so very proud of these representatives for what they bring to the table morally, ethically while seeking wisdom tempered by heart.
Thank you!

this app has been invaluable over the last year during the Covid Pandemic. It has single handedly kept me sane through the many long months of seclusion in my home. The ability to log into a Seacoast Repertory Production on this app has saved my mind from being without art, music, theatre and humanity. Thank you this app for providing a phenomenal streaming platform for theatres to use to share our collective stories. Bravo.

You might consider condensing the questions and the introductions so more time is allocated to the candidates rather than sponsors and questioners. I tuned in to listen to answers, not pedantic questions that could have been edited to a small fraction of their length. Considering news reporters with actual experience might provide value.

I did, however, find the responses of significant value. It just required patience to finally hear them.

by Gallopingon

I’ve used for two webinars and both times it froze a lot or there wasn’t a pause button available. Every time I️ tried to use the chat function, it would then stop the broadcast. And so I️ would have to close Crowdcast and go back into it all over again like I️ did at the beginning. Of course, you lose a lot of the broadcast that way. I’ve ended up missing about 20 minutes out of an hour broadcast both times and ended up extremely frustrated.

by Jayteehu

I was able to see some of the videos when they were live, but the playback is impossible. There is no way to select different talks from the iPad. It is totally random if anything comes up at all, and then it wants to keep replaying what I’ve already seen, definitely a big waste of money for the three day conference I wanted to watch!

by Charm City Shaman

No zooming capability or ability to make fine adjustments to the camera while streaming. Everything just seems basic in comparison to other streaming software and services. If you want no thrills live streaming look no further, Crowdcast will live up to that expectation.

I don’t find this ad very user-friendly. I can’t even change my profile photo of background as there doesn’t appear to be any options when you’re in settings. Frustrated in San Rafael....

by SFO Reviewer

I watched a 3 hour presentation using the web version. It was very bumpy. That needs to improve. Also the comment scrolling went too fast for me but I would prefer just a little slower not significantly slower. When it worked the picture and sound quality was quite good. Just too many breaks.

by Marv2019

Crashed when opened multiple apps. The video or audio would go off line.

by Bobstones

Well worth my initial investment in the video live stream program offered. I only wish we could select the available videos rather than being surprised!!

by Djlee_md

By far my favorite podcast. Been a Bomani Jones fan a long time and luv his take on life away from
Sports. Finally decided to listen to podcast live and as always, doesn’t disappoint. Kudos to Bomani and the staff. Keep up the great work

Thank you Rev. Marie Kirkland for the inspiring conversation held this evening! This short gathering discussing the Golden Rule vs the Platinum Rule was AWESOME! Just enough time to remind me to aspire to live higher than previously and more Aligned to my higher possibilities than before. This is on my calendar!!

by Nekocatgirl38

Just one thing money doesn’t grow on trees. And you can’t pulled imaginary money from your behind and. You need to consider those who have half the income. I love Crowdcast it’s excellent but you need to consider those. Things I have said to you.

I’ve experienced a few different live video platforms... and this one is cuter crystal clear and responsive to the online audience very well.

by Almentra

Hi Rod and Karen!
I really enjoyed you and the guys doing the review on Game of Thrones! The fiya starters were great! It’s one of the best ones I’ve heard. You had me laughing all the way through. Keep up the good work! Love you guys!

by JSF II

This was my second experience with this app. The function buttons work well and it is easy to maneuver from full screen presentation to asking a question and return.

There were moments of audio loss but it is unknown if it is owing to the platform or my internet. I suspect the latter.

In addition, I am not sure if it was purposefully designed as such, but I was able to log in on two devises. This was necessary, and appreciated, because I had some things to tend to which popped up during the presentation as I was able to go mobile without losing the feed.

Thank you.

The sound was clear as well as the picture
