This app has become an essential part of my streaming. But since the most recent update, every once in a while the app will crash for me. I do have this on an old iPad mini though. Might put it on my phone instead if it’s supported. Reconnection has been mostly seamless though. Not perfect, but still great.
Works great through Internet also.

Works exactly as described. I don't like folks here who have lowered ratings for absence of features that were never promised. To work remotely, such as with machine behind home router, definitely need some tech skill to do port forwarding on the router & find out public IP, works great. I like the idea to stream remotely by mobile connection from the street & control OBS that manages it remotely. P.S. Test this setup from other network, such disable wifi to cellular connection, due to port forwarding may not forward internal calls.
Developer Response
Thanks, appreciate it! :)
Absolutely Incredible OBS App for a 1 PC Streamer

If you aren’t earning money off your stream/content yet, then you’re probably not investing in some of the non-essential commodities that makes streaming easier. This app covers that for you though… free. Obviously, you should 100% Tip the dev or purchase the “Blacksmith” option (which is in ZERO way required and doesn’t put any of the apps functions behind a pay-wall… it’s purely to support an incredible dev).
No comparison for the money

Blade isn’t perfect. But I think for the price, it is amazing. I’ve tested with a bunch of lab devices loaded with NDI sources. It’s a little rough on my ipad3 (which i would love to use since it’s just a switcher) but works smoothly and well on the ipad5 and 6 models. Preview video drags my devices, but works and I think on newer hardware will be great. I would like to undock and move some parts. I wish there was a plug in function for things like ptz camera control, but again, for the money, Blade is awesome.
OBS Blade 4.0 is a complete redesign, built for phone and tablet.

- Chat gets its own tab: Twitch, YouTube, Kick and Owncast
