Streamlabs Controller for Negative User Reviews

No longer free!Now just for those with prime! If people had the money for prime they would buy a streamdeck not use this. Needs making free again! They will lose customers from this. Already seen a lot say they won’t use streamlabs again Make it free again!.Version: 3.4.4

This is poopThis app won’t even allow me to login to YouTube or twitch so much for a streamlabs deck.Version: 3.2.23

Won’t connect to StreamlabsJust keeps saying over and over that I’m not connected to same Wi-Fi . I am and I’ve even tried typing in specific numbers I’ll update if fixed.Version: 3.6.3

Not working at the momentI open up the app, and see my StreamLabs page, NOT the deck at all. I wonder what happened. Higher rating once this is fixed..Version: 3.5.3

Can’t Log-InI can technically log-in to my account however it won’t let me get past the package selection screen, it’s also extremely zoomed in while this happens..Version: 3.3.7

I just installed it and it keeps crashing the moment I try to open it.I just installed it and it keeps crashing the moment I try to open it..Version: 3.6.12

Cant go to the remoteWhen I got this app about a month ago the remote worked great, but now I cant seem to get into the remote, when I login it just pulls up my dashboard. I have no idea what to do but please fix this..Version: 3.5.0

Doesnt connect qr codeSays both phone and pc must be connected to the same wifi, it is connected but still fails to recognize the qr code..Version: 3.2.23

Looks awesomeLooks great. Spent an Hour trying to connect. Same wifi. Nothing. Be sure to configure firewall in wifi settings.Version: 3.6.3

ProblemPlease fix remote It won’t let me use it the connect is the same even I try the firewall still the same please fix it.Version: 3.5.3

Cant scan QR codeWhen i scan the QR code it says cant connect check if your connected to the same wifi as your Streamlabs OBS. Developer please respond..Version: 3.5.0

UPDATE AND FIX NOW ITS BEEN 7 MONTHSYou want people to keep using this you should probably care enough to fix an issue people have been complaining about for months. Doesn’t seem like you care about your customer base. I was excited about this for my streams. Now I’m angry..Version: 3.5.3

Can’t connect remotely???I’ve tried doing remote control for a while now. I love Slobs on PC but connecting my phone is impossible. It never connects and honestly manually isn’t much better..Version: 3.5.3

Is there any way you can make it not for only stream labs obsI wanted to use this because I wanted a remote for streaming to switch screens and stuff but i didn’t know it doesn’t work for my chromebook..Version: 3.6.8

It’s okWhen I exited out of the app I could not log back in with the wrong code.Version: 3.1.7

BLANK APPLOADS INTO GREY SCREEN... THAT’S IT..Version: 3.4.4

Prime users only >.<This used to be an amazing tool for managing switching between scenes and now have to pay to use that .... for people who are starting out you’ll end up paying out more than you’ll make to start with.Version: 3.4.4

Can’t connectAll I say is it won’t let me connect but other then that it’s a good idea.Version: 3.5.3

Doesn’t workThe app doesn’t let me sign in.Version: 3.0.3

Bad experienceI wanna say that this app could be good but I can't even connect.Version: 3.5.3

Requires a paid subscriptionThis app used to be fantastic. I would use it to stream on Twitch as an occasional hobby with my friends, to see us through Lockdown. Now, you can only use the app if you pay for a very expensive prime subscription service. I have moved to OBS instead, which is a lot more versatile anyway, and use hot keys on my keyboard to switch between scenes. Extremely disappointed that Stream labs have alienated their user base in this under-handed way, especially considering that the foundation of their programme stands for OPEN BROADCAST SOFTWARE..Version: 3.4.4

Not supportedI know there are a lot of people who have said that they can’t connect to their laptops because it isn’t supported, and it is frustrating, but without having this ability to, it kind of destroys the whole purpose of this app for people who use Mixer. I really hope this gets fixed soon.Version: 3.1.7

Work in progressReally appreciate the ability to configure the buttons. Unfortunately the configure button it self can also be hidden. I am now stuck with one button on the app without the ability to reset the layout..Version: 3.0.0(6)

Doesn’t even workApp does not scan code no matter what is done.Version: 2.0.0(4)

Missing features (Replay Buffer)I like the features of the app but could you please add a button to the app that allows me to save my replay buffer, also maybe place some of the buttons inside of the folders on the app to neaten it up a bit.Version: 2.0.0(4)

Cant scan the QR Code from Streamlabs OBSI might be running through a bug or it just doesn’t work, I keep trying to scan the QR Code on Streamlabs OBS but it only says that it failed to connect,.Version: 2.0.0(4)

Can’t Remote ControlRead title. Big L. Says to check PC and phone are both on same wifi, they are..Version: 3.6.0

App won’t connect to the internetDownloaded the app and it doesn’t even work.Version: 3.5.3

Yep, so goodIt’s ok, but everything it’s meant to do doesn’t work.Version: 3.1.7

Unable to connect !Unable to connect with my QR code and in manual mode! I am on the same wifi and I have the latest version of both applications, mobile IOS and PC.Version: 3.5.3

Problems with appThe app is overall good, but I cannot connect my slobs on my computer to my phone. I’ve tried connecting using the manual and the qr connection, yes I’ve put them both on the same wifi and it doesn’t work. I just don’t know what to do..Version: 3.5.3

Option for mixerOption for mixer there... but not supported on iOS... pointless app for mixer users, why even have mixer as an option if it’s not supported?.Version: 3.1.7

Can’t connectDid all the trouble shooting for this ports are open, got mad and just shut off my firewall to see if that would help. Switched from my 5g to the normal wifi connection still says I’m not on the same network! Really think this would be amazing if it worked. Will do another review once customer service gets back to my email..Version: 3.5.0

PrimeThis add requires me to have prime to use it when it was free before.Version: 3.4.4

Not openingDoesn’t deserve a star . Not opening the remote..Version: 3.1.8

Good except for one issueFrom what I have tested, everything works regarding to switching to different scenes. But when it comes to muting and unmuting, or turning on and off sources there are some issues. You can hit the mute button, but when you press it again to unmute, it doesn’t go through, the only way the unmute will work is if you switch to a different scene and press to unmute. Same thing goes for turning a source visibility on or off. Aside from this, switching scenes is smooth and settings are fairly simple..Version: 3.5.5

FfffffIt doesn’t work!.Version: 3.6.12

Fix thisApp doesn’t let me sign in to YouTube because of the following error: Google can’t sign you in safely inside this app. You can use Google sign-in by visiting this app’s website in a browser like Safari or Chrome..Version: 3.1.8

Pay 2 PlayThis app was good until you had to start paying for it.Version: 3.4.4

I can’t connect it!Can’t connect it with stream labs bad app.Version: 3.5.3

Doesn’t connectWas working great until this most recent update now I can’t get the controller to connect through qr or manually and it caused me to lose my TikTok live status, will be looking for a better streaming platform..Version: 3.6.18

I cant do remote connectEven if im on the same network and latest version of the app it doesnt connect.Version: 3.1.7

Not Logging In for FacebookIt’s not working when I tryed to login with Facebook and this update says user has to be a prime user with is really bad I think. There are many small streamer who are trying to grow up, for them it’s impossible to use. I think they should keep in mind about this problem 😔.Version: 3.4.4

Money Hungry AnticsYou keep throwing away small streamers if you charge to use a product like this. With the subscription we are literally better off using a streamdeck. If you think i’m going to be paying for this you are absolutely insane. Go the XSplit route and go to free to use instead of the you need to pay to use online like a console..Version: 3.4.4

Good AppGood interface overall, except for the glaring omission of support for other platforms. I’ll update my review once this has been resolved..Version: 3.1.7

XboxI need this for Xbox. I already use the built in stream to twitch on series x but I just want to simply add an overlay and transparent logos ect..Version: 3.6.14

Doesn’t work at all!It’s a waste of time. The QR code doesn’t work and neither does the token. The App doesn’t even work. Don’t waste your time on this..Version: 3.5.6

Login doesn’t workI don’t know why but whenever I’d try to login it’d just white screen with a “Skip” logo at the bottom. I’d wait for about 5 minutes waiting for the bars to pop up but none ever did. Any way to resolve this issue: if so, it would be incredibly helpful and I could actually enjoy the app..Version: 3.1.7

Won't log into YouTubeCan't get this to work, just sits trying to log into YouTube indefinitely..Version: 3.2.23

MixerDoesn’t let me sign into mixer.Version: 3.0.3

Log in madnessEvery time i launch the app it asks me to log in So i do but then i have to press skip to get back to the app but then it logs me out. I cant use the chat feature or the events feature because of this problem which is annoying because my pc only has one monitor so i cant see the chat unless i watch my own stream..Version: 3.3.7

App doesn’t work LSays I need to be on the same wifi as my pc, the thing is I am..Version: 3.6.3

HelpIt won’t Scan the code I’ve tried so many times deleting and reinstalling the app.Version: 3.5.3

It’s good butIt’s good but it’s just I can’t log in on mixer which is trash because I’m a streamer on mixer plz fix it But all round solid app.Version: 3.1.7

Confused!Would be an amazing app! If Streamlabs let me connect the same WiFi as my Streamlabs and my phone! None of the options are correct 😔😔. Please fix this!.Version: 3.1.7

Worked one time and now it wont work at allTried restarting my phone and my pc. Tried multiple api keys. Changed my firewall settings for streamlabs. Still not working.Version: 3.5.0

CrashingThe app barely lets me use it as it keeps crashing after like 2 secs on it . if i manage to do a stream with it before your next update then hallelujah ! 👋(•~•).Version: 3.5.3

Mixer not supportedIn the desktop version of streamlabs OBS you can connect to Mixer but on this it’s not supported. This issue needs fixing because it’s frustrating for us who stream via mixer and have already set everything up on the desktop but cannot use the mobile app.Version: 3.1.7

Cool Features, Convenient Remote, doesn’t connect wellIssues connecting through with standard McAfee firewall and refuses to connect twitch chat room to my phone.Version: 3.5.6

Non-functionalIf the app is not on the same subnet as the computer application, the app fails to display buttons and controls, sometimes fails to register. I have attempted multiple remote connections options, including port forwarding on my router, and VPN connections. I have confirmed my firewall policies allow the application, port forwarding is correct, and that the computer is accessible on the TCP port (through packet capture). This app has a lot of potential, but if it cannot act as an actual remote application then I cannot review its full capability and provide a high star review..Version: 3.2.23

Hi. Please fix.Can’t connect when trying to do QR code as well as manual connection. Please fix otherwise it’s just a waste of space. (It says must be on same wifi but my PC is on LAN). Essentially the functionality to log in and access the same account needs to be added to be able to connect these. It’s not that difficult to code in.Version: 3.0.3

Great when working.But it is too inconsistent, disconnects during live stream.Version: 3.1.8

No mixer supportI used to use this with mixer and now it says it’s not a supported format. Hopefully this gets fixed and I can give this app a better rating..Version: 3.0.3

Bad app doesn’t workThis app does not work it does not connect to stream labs OBS it is always giving an error signal and there is no tutorials online to even figure out the problems. If I could give the App negative stars I definitely would! I am willing to change this rating if I could simply use the app.Version: 3.5.3

I cant Switch the Browser to chromeWhen I want to sign in with YouTube, it says that this browser doesn’t support JavaScript which makes it unable for me to use the app and I only have YouTube for streaming..Version: 3.6.14

Doesn’t workSince the most recent update I am unable to connect to my pc on any of my devices..Version: 3.3.7

Was great, until they made it ‘Prime’Was a handy piece of kit, changing it to Prime only (Their subscription thing) is a bit of a kick in the teeth to everyone using it before the update..Version: 3.4.4

Great if you’re earning enough from streaming to pay from PrimeAbsolutely disgusting that you’ve made the app prime only. If I had the budget for prime I’d just buy a stream deck and this has gone from being a great free alternative to that to a waste of space I’ll have to delete..Version: 3.4.4

What if you don’t have a computer?I’ve been trying to search up how do you work your stream labs control, and I found nothing useful..Version: 3.6.3

Issue connectingMy pc is hooked up by Ethernet and phone is on wifi, so it will not connect to my phone because they aren’t on the same network. A bit rubbish..Version: 3.2.23

Poor connection featureWish it would work as well as the Streamlabs OBS. Can’t even connect with my phone..Version: 3.1.7

UghDoesn’t stay connected to remote control and doesn’t re connect absolutely useless.Version: 3.5.3

Connection failedEvery time I scan the QR code on my PC everything is updated it says connecting and it’s loading there for a good two minutes then it says connection failed please fix thanks..Version: 3.5.0

Remote controlEvery time you scan the QR Cody it just says problem connecting I tried working with it for house remote control just doesn’t work won’t recommend unless remote control is fixed.Version: 3.5.0

Never shows my scenesThis app used to work great. But now it suddenly won’t show my scenes anymore at all. I have tried everything, uninstalling, logging out, forums. Nothing has fixed the issue. It shows literally everything else, even the collection, but will not show the scenes within the collection. I even tried duplicating them all and it worked for just a few minutes and then they disappeared again..Version: 3.5.3

ScenesMy scenes don’t show up unless I add duplicates. Is there a fix?.Version: 3.3.7

Fix plzGood app for streaming yes. But I can’t login. Google comes up with the notification on the app that says that the browser or app may not be secure and to try a different browser. I attempted many times but I can’t get in..Version: 3.0.3

TerribleAbsolutely terrible, the app gives no time To scan the code! Don’t recommend this at all.Version: 3.3.7

It won’t work properlyIt won’t work properly because when u try to merge ur account, it won’t merge it.Version: 3.3.7

Seriously. You are getting greedy now.Really. You have gone from the best free OPEN broadcasting software. To a somewhat decent but very greedy thing taking up room in my storage. What is next. Need prime to broadcast..Version: 3.4.4

My second reviewNote: sorry about going on a tirade but: After further inspection on the iOS platform I have come to the conclusion that, there is definitely no way to turn off the camera preferably i would like this to be fixed, second it doesn't even record the screen/ game, thirdly (and this is for twitch) it doesn't allow you to alter your tags when launching something, also i couldn't resize objects when in the stream screen editior. I would think this would be a great service if these were fixed but currently the app is almost unusable.Version: 3.5.0

Honest reviewIt’s quite hard to find everything, maybe add in a tutorial to teach new people how to use the app. I honestly do think it will be a lot better and easier then. If this is added J will consider a better review..Version: 3.5.0

Saved me $300audThis app is amazing, it’s perfect for the beginner streamer who doesn’t wanna fork out even more money (300$ minimum) on a streamdeck. This app is seamless and I’ve had no issues with it. Would highly recommend for first timers. 10/10. Thank you Streamlabs!.Version: 3.3.3

This app used to work flawlessly. What happened?None of the buttons work, scanner also scans half of the time..Version: 3.5.5

Great-ishI connected one time but I restarted the app and it said I needed to connect again so I tried over 100 times but it said “failed to connect”.Version: 3.3.3

CrapDoesn’t connect Even with manual..Version: 3.6.3

It crashed now it just won’t ever connectIt won’t connect now no matter what I did everything even uninstall/reinstall Streamlabs annnnd nothing! Even checked my firewall that’s fine too. Was working great now i can’t do it. Time to make room for my Wacom tablet instead instead of using this app until it gets fixed and can connect easily..Version: 3.6.14

Can’t scan QR codeEvery time intervir scan it it send me an error message, FIX IT!!!!!!.Version: 3.5.3

UninstallingLatest update renders the app useless for me with a nice big paywall. No thanks. I liked having a little app to switch scenes and if I’m going to be forced to pay money for this I would rather spend my money elsewhere..Version: 3.4.4

Rip-off - waste of timeOver $250.00 a year in app purchase? I paid $200.00 for my steam deck. Insane, should be a free piece of software to support the hardware they sell. But they Have to try to squeeze more money out of their customer base. Very disappointing. Shame on you Streamlabs. I will be looking for alternate devices in the future..Version: 3.4.4

Changed it so it now requires you to have Twitch PrimeLocked the app behind a paywall now, if you haven’t updated already then don’t bother, the app will still be good.Version: 3.4.4

The Coffin’s NailQuestioning the worth of both OBS and Streamlabs-OBS(SOBS), over the last few years, I’ve used them both intermittently. I’ve found they both have their use, SOBS UI and remote capabilities winning me over, whereas OBS’ ease of use was a deciding factor in pulling me back. This app, however, was the linchpin that kept dragging me back to SOBS. It was a streamlined alternative to buying a streamdeck, worked 95% of the time, and was all around a draw-in to using SOBS full time. However, it’s most recent update; a forceful and abrupt business decision to charge more than a streamdeck per annum for what amounts to a subpar app, comparatively? Heck. No. By removing the only utility that drew my interest to SOBS, you’ve essentially forced my hand in this. I regret to inform whomever checks these reviews that this decision, a greedy attempt to siphon more funds for the conglomerate that is Streamlabs, has turned me off of using your products. I will no longer user any Streamlabs tools while streaming, will be uninstalling SOBS, and will refuse to use any product henceforth. Maybe I’m just one person, but the all consuming nature of your business model is enough to stop me from ever using your products again..Version: 3.4.4

AppallingThere is nothing good about this app. I’m connected to the same Wi-Fi and it still says I’m not connected to the same internet. So well done for creating an awful app.Version: 3.6.3

The app is free... for £150 a yearUp until December i was using this app to make sure i could swap between scenes and everything witn ease as I dont own a stream deck and havent got enough money to purchase one. I stream on a laptop so dont have access to a second screen this has made streaming a lot kore in accessible and it seems like they are just capitalising on the large influx of streamers.Version: 3.4.4

Keeps losing connectionWish they’d fix this it’s stupid as I keep losing my connection to my desktop as in won’t show all my scenes or allow me to do anything apart from “go live or end stream” & I have manually alt tab out of my game or set up the hot keys to change scenes & stuff, which defeats the entire object of having this as a remote.Version: 3.6.3

Not a huge fan.Hello Streamlabs creators, I have tried to use this app but when I go to chose my prime it only shows half the screen, I have been stuck on this for over an hour. Please fix this issue or I will not be able to give it a high rating..Version: 3.3.7

Utterly uselessThis app can only be used at it full potential by those who have streamlabs OBS making it of no real use to most people who download it because they don’t have streamlabs obs, there should be an option to use this app without OBS but to still have all the features.Version: 3.2.23

I have one issue.I know this app has great things on it, the main reason I got it is because I can switch screens on my scenes and I have this animation pop up to switch them on the COMPUTER app but the Mobile app only has a button called “scenes” and it doesn’t show the each individual scenes so I can use transitions without pressing the windows button on my keyboard and the dreaded “looking for game” screen pops up, please fix this I would appreciate it, over all the app had potential just not working for me right now, once it’s fixed I’ll 100% give it a 5 star..Version: 3.5.3

Can’t even connect the app to my pcI’ve tried manually setting the ip and port, I’ve tried the QR code, nothing has worked. Useless app.Version: 3.6.12

IPhone 6Can’t using mobile version. How to convert desktop version to mobile version.Version: 3.4.4

Streamlabs is a scam!I first wrote a review about how it didn’t work anymore after they put the Streamlabs remote control behind a paywall. Then Streamlabs went around to every bad review and told them they “fixed” the issue. However it appears they just did that temporarily to get their ratings up and once they got what they wanted they put it back behind a paywall and now you have to pay for it AGAIN! This just proves that what everyone is saying about Steamlabs is true, this is a TERRIBLE Company with poor morals. Don’t support them!.Version: 3.5.3

ProblemI tried to connect multiple times and it doesn’t work. It won’t even tell me the reason why it won’t connect. Please fix this and have it tell me what I need to make it work..Version: 3.5.3

It did work!I love this app but since the update I can not use the remote control anymore. Please put go back two updates..Version: 3.5.3

Everything works...Except for being able to login to any of your accounts. Can still use it to swap scenes and such, but can't link my twitch..Version: 3.1.7

AppallingAbsolutely horrible.Version: 3.5.6

Can’t even log inThis will be deleted if I solve it but none of the login method buttons work. I CANT GET PAST THE LOGIN SCREEN 😭.Version: 3.6.12

App Just Displays White ScreenWhenever I launch the app, it just shows the startup for a second then the screen just goes white in the app and doesn’t work. I’ve heard good things about the app and want to use it but it just displays a white screen..Version: 3.5.0

Works on iPad! NOT on iPhone.This app runs very well on my iPad Pro. It performs as its intended too and is a recommended tool for ANY streamer to save them from having to make constant switches between tasks on pc. However, the iPhone version of this app does NOT stay connected to the main stream via pc (regardless of network) for more than 2seconds, if at all. (Used on iPhone 11 Pro Max/iOS 14.0.1) Hope to see an update soon!.Version: 3.3.3

TerribleAnother perfect app transferred into a money grab..Version: 3.4.4

Will literally never connectI’ve tried to scan the QR code about 50 times and it will not work I’m doing everything it tells me to it just won’t scan.Version: 3.6.3

This doesn’t workWhen I scan the Streamlabs OBS code it doesn’t work.Version: 3.1.9

No mic controlCan no longer access mic info. Used to be able to mute mics from app. Now nothing.Version: 2.0.0(4)

QR code scanner doesn’t allow enough time to focusCan’t log in through we code. App doesn’t allow enough time to focus properly on code..Version: 3.1.7

I cannot connectI have followed every step given to me and I cannot connect to my stream labs obs. I have trued both apps with this system available to them and I still cannot connect. I do think that this would be a high review but I cannot rate it good if it won’t work..Version: 2.0.0(4)

Wow now need to be a prime member to use it!!!I couldn’t believe when I saw that now you have to be a prime member to use the app when I was able to use it before and without being prime that just prove how greedy you just turn!!!!!!.Version: 3.4.4

HelpIt doesn’t work. I did everything it says and it still doesn’t. I even tried typing it in manually. I don’t know what else to do if any one had this problem and got it to work it would be much appreciated if you can help me out..Version: 3.6.14

HACKEDI GOT HACKED.Version: 3.5.3

Cant use the QR codeI cant use the QR code to connect.Version: 3.3.7

App broke mid streamI genuinely have no idea how this happened but the app was working perfectly up until a few minuets into my first stream, suddenly all the scene options weren’t there as well as the audio adjusters. I tried to just go live without these and it wouldn’t even let me go live :,) I’m not sure if Im the only one with this issue but it was just heartbreaking to start my first stream that way.Version: 3.5.3

Will have you thinking it’s youTried for hours to connect via QR and manually and all it says is make sure you’re connected to the same wifi. Won’t let you attempt to fix in any other way. Can’t even use the app wouldn’t waste my time with it..Version: 3.5.6

Disconnection randomlyIt’s good but it will disconnect me randomly and then I can’t end my stream or change my scene so I have to go do that manually and it’s annoying.Version: 3.3.7

Can’t connect to my Twitch account.Tried logging in. Fails, so I use the same login on PC. works fine. Authenticator works. I log in. Tried the app again. Didn’t work..Version: 3.5.6
