Livestream

Overall not a bad app. It streams content well with few hiccups due to buffering or lag. Sound is good. My biggest complaint against the app has more to do with live-streaming my church’s services. I know when they will be going live, it’s scheduled to go live at a certain time, the app even counts down to when it goes live. However, when it goes live, it doesn’t automatically switch to viewing the content. I have to completely close the app and find the livestream again in order to view the content. Frustrating.

I have a concert how the buffering will jump to the most current moment and not pick up where the buffering at started. I was recently a live catholic mass and I kept missing speaking parts because the buffering picked up at the most up to date moment and not where the buffering started. Very frustrating. Side note, the Apple TV app should have a way to add favorites (accounts and videos). That buffering issue also exists in the Apple TV app as well. It’s worth looking into

Livestream does exactly what the name implies and delivers it effectively in the manner that I use it. My church body Calvary Chapel South Bay utilizes the app to stream all the live services from the Sunday morning services and evening service as well as its midweek service on Thursday. I love that after the initial lice service is over I can access the then archived service and toggle to the point of the broadcast that I want to view and listen to. I can pause it and read the slides my pastor presents during the service and note anything that I find interesting. I’m sure there are plenty more advantages and perks to this app that I have yet to engage.
