I won't complain about the functionality but what a cpu & battery hog. And that just viewing, not broadcasting. What is worse, the battery drain won't stop even after the viewing ends. I mean, it is just sitting idle with a blurry static background, doing nothing but the drain goes on, full throttle. The phone gets so hot I really fear one day the battery will catch fire. It couldn't be so hard to fix that, right?

App crashes all the time. Live video constantly plays for a second and then blurs out for a second (I have very fast Internet so it's not my Internets fault.) Works a little better on my tablet. Could be an issue with Android 7+. Problem only exists during live video. Replays work fine. Periscope, why hasn't this been fixed yet? Same problem since I first started using it almost a year ago.

Everytime you update this app its as if you only want iPhone users to use your app. Nothing is wrong with the app for iPhone users but I see a lot of andriod users with problems and that's not Fair to us. Don't make this app available for android users if you don't want to equally update for all users. I hate this app now. Not even worth the frustration. Finding something better. Now the app auto rotates and I did not want that if I want to rotate my screen I will turn my screen rotation on . my screen rotation is generally locked thanks a lot for removing my free will jackasses.
The app is good. Its only problem is that the phone's battery drains very fast and also becomes hot; in other word, the hardware of the current generation of devices might not be ready for Periscope yet. 🔋 You might want to keep your charger always connected when you use Periscope. 🔌

Bad application with very poor language skills of moderators. Bugs in the transmission on HAD It freezing itself. Full of fake robotic users they are attached to profiles and pretending real users. No one bothers reply on negative review rewires😖 A lot bugs on Android 7.1 with oneplus 3 handsets

Keeps crashing on Android 7, sony xperia Z5 compact. I sent multiple feedback in last 4months but bug is not fixed. Every time I click back button and exit from app it crashes. Also when i switch between streams it crashes. Very unstable.

One of my favorites for IndyCar, storms, news (before news crews get there) and a myriad of creatively interesting people and places captivated visually live. Ex. Yesterday I watched and talked to Gavin Rosdale live alone on his moving tourbus ..its live video twitter.
You guys need to improve your reporting system. I just watched a scope of two young girls where people were trying to get them to take off their clothes. I reported it twice and another user tried and still nothing was done. You also need to work on reporting comments. I reported some comments but all that happened was I would no longer see their comments. It needs to be reported to you guys and have them banned. Lastly, if you guys are short of moderators, is there a way to sign up and help stop this abuse?
App is great when it wants to work. But I have multiple experiences with it freezing during streaming where the only way to get out of it is to shut down the app, resulting in a corrupted video file. No tech support, no fix in over a year now.
DO JOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. IT SUCKS. The app has gottenreally bad in the past couple months. It crashed alot. ALSO there automated spam and inappropriate content reporting tool is not working .... Yesterday I was banned from chatting for 4 hours for saying you look beautiful.. and an hour ago I was banned from chatting for another hour and half for say "Hey hey ❤️❤️" . This is unacceptable. You guys better fix this app... I'm deleting it anyways ....
Great idea. Unfortunately it is ridden with crashing bugs and poor ui. The worst part is not being able to view a lot of streams if it gets too many viewers.
A decent idea to allow a bunch of trainwrecks to stream their pathetic lives. I love to watch but constantly crashes since the last update. Annoying to have to restart every minute or two.
The app needs a lot of work it crashes all the time. Could do with a few more options like select a region e.g UK, American etc
This program is not coded for tablet use! Verticle video everywhere. Pathetic coding. Screen rotation code is freely available for all programmers on all androids.
Constantly buffering, it's very hard to watch anyone because the app just sits there trying to load their stream forever. The app also crashes constantly, on average it crashes 4 or 5 times per hour of use.
The only problem is sometimes random periscope people show up on my feed and I get notifications about them, even though I am not subscribed/follow them which is really annoying, and it would be nice if we could save the highlights of the periscope broadcaster, and can see and view our saved highlights anytime/anywhere
This app has no age restriction. Sometimes the teenagers broadcast and a bunch of pedophiles ask them to show boobs and the rest. Its not suppose to be like that. Either restrict it to a legal age or the fbi will be informed.
I have a problem.some activity detected and the screen is black.and beep boop written.confirm you are not a robot.because someone blocked me with no reason. Now tell me what to do. I had sent the page image to periscope help on twitter, they do not reply.
Good.... but what's the deal with cringe opener... Made in America by immigrants? Nobody cares who it's made by. Make a good app and be proud of it. That's all you need to do.
App continually forces close since the last update. There needs to be a way for this to be less of a battery hog. Please do something about the nasty, perverted creepers who hijack peoples broadcasts.
Need to be able to report racists, one broadcaster is called no whiteys and all he does is spout racist comments about anyone who isn't a Muslim.
When I tap red icon freezing and showing not responded please fix this bug.. Huawei y52 (cun- l22)
App keeps freezing you have to close and re open 100 times if not more just to watch one live stream it doesn't matter if you have the best internet speed this app still freeze and kicks you all the way out
would give it 5 stars if you would put chromecast option in app, or make casting to my tivo or TV or blu-ray possible
App is ok bt the worst thng is ths app is not stable lots of lagging issue i think to uninstall as soon as possible....
Loved this app till it no longer broadcasts sound on my live streams and the replay isn't viewable at all within the app, since I started using Android 7. Still works fine on Android 6 phone. Hope this gets resolved soon.
Both Peri and Twitter constantly crash on my Nexus 9. Shows how much their team can make apps.
Did anybody else get the app just so they can see BTS live #BTSBBMAs BTS hwaiting!
Great app. Great voyer-ristic entertainment. One con - connection issues sometimes but still worth getting.
App crashes before opening... worked fine before last update. For a galaxy tab 3
Im not able to broadcast even though I have a good internet connection and the live broadcast keeps being freezing stuck and now its completely frozen !!
The app is pretty good had for a good while already recently it's been messing shutting down or lost connection
Works for 10 seconds then stops, saying trying to reconnect. Garbage app.
Helful with connecting me with like-minded people to get a solution to the individuals who are looking for it. #aSolutionProvider 🎯 Great for sharing with people beyond my reach. #DoorOpener🚪
I can't get the broadcast to stop buffering even on the internet. Very frustrating. Only thing I use it for is ACLJ Jay Sekulow live
Love being able to listen to God's word and to do some shopping too.
Terrible connection. Something needs to be done about it. Very annoying!
Can you please make the maps section so that it's able to rotate for people that use tablets
