Video Stream - Watch Movies & TV Shows over the Air! App Reviews

Updated to iOS 10.0.2 now no video will play streaming from my PC.

The user needs to run a dedicated server program on a PC for this app to function at all. This information should be featured prominently in the product description so that others can avoid wasting their money.

Please implement rotation lock in iPhone. Other its a very good app.

Truly easy to use although buffering would be a benefit.

Love the app and its interface far better than airvideo and airplayit, having used both for some time. That said, I cannot recommend the app at all until they fix the show-stopping bugs. Namely, audio doesnt work for any transcoding on the latest osx. (Their forums have multiple complaints about it with no feedback so far on a fix). Once thats fixed, should be a great app.

Having problems playing back local video files. Start playing and somewhere in playback halts. Was working great before I updated iPad to 6.1 :(

After over a dozen server/app tests the extremely simple server and sophisticated app which actually has tap activated FF/Rewind buttons and very fast response WINS the competition. Icon previews auto generate fast within the app instead of get all bogged down on the server side. I did have to restart my PC for the server to show up after installation. The competition all suffers from either bugs galore that makes features not work or a servers that lock up and require PC restarts. Im not kidding! BUG: the skip to next video button freezes the app or aborts playback altogether. QUIRK: the view by date button does creation date instead of date modified so newly added files that have old creation dates fail to pop to the top of the list, so I must make a folder for them on the PC to be able to find them in the sea of existing files.

Its easy and just works. Exactly what you want from a video streaming app.

You have to run a specific program, not noted in the description.

I have been using airvideo server to stream my videos. This app kicks its butt! Much better design, better features (shuffle). Cant wait to see more updates! :)

Love this streamer, plays all, almost never craches. It should have option to look at photos, often video files have poster jpg.

not easy to connect phone with my mac tried all the help tips still cant get the app on my phone to connect to a server I tried auto and manual ways to connect neither worked

Doesnt work. Cant ever "connect to server". Even when you try to watch the tutorial video...that doesnt work and cant connect to server either. What a p.o.s.

Horrible. I paid for this app and it can never connect to either my 3G or my wifi

Compare to air video server. The other works much better. Video stream need to work harder to make remote access work. Its not stable, sometimes can and sometimes cant connect. Today its not working the whole day, not sure if I am on a hotel networks and it wont connect back to my home server. BUT air video works without any problem.

This title explains it all dont get this app its a death trap man. There was one bad review but all the other ones were good so I was just like come stick your American sausage in my English n muffin.

I have used this app for over 2 years hence the 2 stars. It was a great solution to watching videos on my iphone 4 through my network at home or away. Since upgrading to my iPhone 5 its been slow and buggy. It crashes or freezes every time I load a video. Ive been waiting for an update to the app or server hoping to fix it. I got fed up and bought the Plex streaming app to see if it was my network or the app, and Plex streams great, no crashes or freezing, it even loads the meta data for me. So now that I know its not my network Im puzzled as to way this app stopped working so well. When its working its okay, but it can be frustrating when it doesnt work. The Plex app is just a few dollars more and to me you get way more than just a video app, and the addition of meta data alone is worth the extra dollars to me. Sorry guys, it was good while it lasted, Im out!

I took a risk after reading some of the reviews and purchased this app. Got the app, got the server, assigned some folders and thought wow pretty simple. So I opened the app and got a connecting to server pop up. Then it gave an error. Tried again and again and kept getting an error. I was so frustrated I even searched online how to get a refund from apple. Then I realized I had opened the app before starting the server so maybe it was stuck in a loop of some sort. So I closed the app from the multitasking bar and restarted it. What do you know, it worked flawlessly after that. I am now happily watching videos from my computer in any format through this app onto my tv using airplay. No more converting!!! This app is worth every penny.

Waste of money

If there is one thing that I hate, it is a product that does not work from the start. This one begins By asking if I would like to view a video about setup, so I say yes, and the first thing it does is give me an error saying that it "cant connect to the server"— Whichever server they mean, and wherever it may be. Next, I go to help and get the same error, leaving me in the middle of nowhere without an oar. It may just be that I happened to catch them on a bad day, but that doesnt matter. They need to go back to marketing 101 class: when you have a new product in a competitive market you cant afford bad days, because it will always generate responses like this one. Hint: the little wheel spinning in the error message is a symbol of your money going down the drain.
