About this app

Ratings and reviews

Good app, however I find myself having to restart my phone constantly due to getting a connection tomeout message. Mainly after putting my PC to sleep and waking it up again. Firewall is OK and I've tried other fixes online, and also clearing all data and cache in the app, but phone restart is the only solution. Also cannot add icons. App says storage permission denied, but I can't add it in setting (android app settings). Did you forget it in the app manifest?

This app is near perfect. It works and is pretty easy to customize as long as you take a few minutes to get familiar with the UI. My only two problems with the app is I can't watch a preview of my stream, not sure if it depends on if I'm live, and can't set the chat I wanna watch. By default it should be my own twitch chat that pops up but I can see uses for why it wouldn't be automatically like that. Otherwise this app is amazing and is gonna increase the production value of my stream

Interface is a bit ugly and clunky, but other than that it does exactly what I was hoping. Really easy to set up. My console is far from my PC and twice now I've thought I was recording only to realize an hour later that I wasn't. That's the worst feeling. This way I can use my phone to make sure everything's going good on my PC. Update Sep 2022 - No longer works since OBS version 28. Updated websocket to v5 as recommended and now it no longer connects.

What’s new

• Renamed app to StreamCtrl
• Added support for obs-websocket v5/OBS 28
• A bunch of other changes (many parts of this app were completely rewritten, so hopefully nothing major is broken/missing...)

NOTE: This app still supports obs-websocket v4, but v4 is now considered deprecated and support may be removed in the future. It is recommended to update to obs-websocket v5/OBS 28 to continue receiving support."
