Bambuser for iOS

Bambuser is a live-streaming video app. You sign up with an account and then you can broadcast your live streams on a public feed or to a private audience.

Pros

Easy streaming: Bambuser is very easy to start using. The initial signup is not too taxing, and once it's done you can start streaming with a single button. Communicating over the chat channel is equally straightforward.

Settings control: The settings in the app give you great control over your streaming. There are three settings for quality of both audio and video, which can help you find the balance between the best possible quality and a smooth streaming experience. It is also easy to switch to private mode and save a version of your video on the server for use at a later date. You can also save dropped frames to use to restore the video to a higher quality for use after the initial broadcast.

Social features: Bambuser makes it intuitive to share your feeds and videos through all of the major social media portals. If you're using social media as a means of promoting whatever you're doing on Bambuser, these features are very welcome and seem to work seamlessly.

Cons

Cluttered interface: When you're doing anything with video, it is key that you see as much of the video as possible. The interface of Bambuser is fairly cluttered, and all the buttons and data on the screen are fairly distracting.

Bottom Line

Bambuser is an effective and useful live streaming app. The quality controls and social sharing features make it a great tool for people who like to stream live video. The app itself feels a little cluttered, but it certainly functions as advertised.
