Overall Good but Annoying Issue

Hi there! I use this app for production work that I do with live streaming recordings. Overall the app works nicely but can we PLEASE fix the function where if I even deviate from the app to look at a notification the app will close the stream I’m on and there’s no way for me to get back to it unless I fully go back and click the link shared by my team to redirect me. It’s SUPER annoying to have to do this every time I leave the app or do something as simple as turning off my alarm on my phone. It messes with workflow and is just a hassle over all. Thanks!

Developer Response
Thanks for the feedback. Looks like we cannot fix that at the moment due to system limitation. But we'll track new iOS features to see when it can be fixed.

Works flawlessly for SRT calling. Thank you devs. I love the ability save stream connection profiles. :)Five stars <3Minor Feature request for SRT: when the connection drops (such as when changing encoder settings), have the player stay “in” and keep trying to connect (like how VLC on desktop behaves) so the stream can seamlessly resume with the new encoder profile. This is a minor request, and the only suggestion I can think of!

This is a great tool to incorporate consumer end technology within an SRT, or really any live streaming, workflow. Absolutely 5/5, especially with Larix’s “Grove” information handling.

This company screwed its customers by taking a free application and then making it a monthly fee. They jumped from the best option, to the absolute worst option. I don’t mind if they make this app a one time purchase, I’d even be willing to spend $100 on it. But I’m not paying a monthly fee just to possess an app. They don’t provide any monthly service, you have to provide your own details into the app. So they are literally collecting free money every month.

We're sorry but this is needed to make further maintenance and development of the product.
