Justin.tv





Price:Free


Key Features
•Every live stream on the desktop version is also available on the IPhone.
•Chat with everyone on the stream

Justin.tv brings you 24/7 live entertainment with over 6000 Channels streaming every day!

Justin.tv is a website where users can create there own live web stream, free of charge, streams differ from live fish tanks, to top hollywood T.V. shows. (Not sure how legal all the streams are, so watch at your own risk.)

The app has a simple navigation bar at the bottom of the screen, in which you can search for different streams, quickly, & easily.



.

Quality of the streams is very hit and miss, at points it can be the same quality as the desktop version of Justin.tv, but other points it can be very laggy. I also have found that often the stream starts fine and within less than 5 minutes it can become so bad it's unwatchable, that's including the audio that goes out of sync with the video. Restarting the stream can fix this for another 5 or so minutes.



Bugs
This app is currently overloaded with bugs, such as not being able to favourite channels, which also turns the stream off and crashes the app, needing you to restart it.

Also the categories icon only appears when you change the language, which is completely bizarre.


Commenting on streams using the chat is fairly easy but it's quite big and takes up half the screen, ruining the stream for you.




You cannot stream to your own account via your iPhone, a feature rival site Ustream has available on there iPhone app. As for now it looks like there is no plans to implement this feature into the app.



Overall
Another app with great potential, yet they just have not hit the nail on the head with it. It's to buggy and laggy to watch, or use.
