This app just got worse when they updated streamlabs on PC they took out the qr code to connect witch means it should auto connect when I have streamlabs up in my PC but I have it up and most of the time it says that it can't connect like I don't have it open and the remote in the PC option on plz put it back to how it was u made it so much worse

For everyone having issues connecting, check the network & firewall settings on your PC. Make sure you're on "private network", not "public". You can also check the firewall and adjust the settings for Streamlabs specifically, so that access is allowed. My issue now is that there are no buttons to change scenes within a collection, only options to toggle sources within the scene you're currently on. The mute function seems to work for me. Please fix Scene selection functionality. Thanks

The app is definitely more for turning off sources than anything else. I wanted to use it to switch scenes within a collection, but it doesn't seem to do that. I can change scene collections, but I would have to have several collections with only 1 scene in each for it to work with this app. Save yourself the frustration and just get a wireless mouse instead; at least those don't need wifi to connect either. Edit: change to 1 star because of the hoops I'm jumping through to troubleshoot this

Pretty sure this app is broken. It won't connect to my pc. It keeps saying to "make sure phone and pc are on the same wifi" but they definitely are. And it says tap here for more info but it doesn't do anything when I tap it. I can't find anything that will let me troubleshoot to fix whatever problem is happening besides to check that that the devices are on the same wifi, which again they are.

Terrible experience with the app, fought with it for 3 days to get it to connect the first time, now with this update; can't connect to the desktop app, refuses to acknowledge that both devices are connected to the same wifi, refuses to connect even with new api tokens. Only thing I haven't done and refuse to do is port forward anything. If it comes down to that I'll just continue opening the desktop app while streaming.

I was using this for a while when I was streaming and it worked really well and I would've gave it a 4 or 5 star rating. the thing about it is that you have to be connected to a wifi source on both whatever you're using Streamlabs on and your phone to have it work. and even then the code it gives you will never always work which is why it sucks in my opinion. now everyone may not have the same experience I will, this is just my take on it. also the QR scanner NEVER WORKS!!!

Ok, so I was just setting the app up to use the remote, and it won't scan the qr code on my PC. Once again, something with the app was fixed, and another was broken... I'm trying to avoid getting a streamdeck, but it's looking like 8m going to have to spend the money on one, unless the app gets fixed. I'll update my review when this issue gets resolved...

Won't scan the qr code. There is a manual setup option but that is rediculous to do every time you switch networks. There isn't even a manual url entry option because my cam can scan it and extract the qr link. This tells me it is a problem in the software. It doesn't work for me so 0 stars for the much needed remote until I can actually use it.

It was extremely helpful and useful app until this new update. (Now updated) It still doesn't work, the camera feature for scanning the QR code doesn't work at all. How can I use the app if I can't even link to the pc? Even putting the ip address, port code, and Api token still doesn't work. It just gives me a error about not being on right wifi. My phone is connected to the pc, fix the camera. A small time app maker made the same thing, and scanning the QR worked. It's called StreamControl.

Edit: this issue has been fixed. Still at four stars simply because if it broke once, it has lost some of my confidence in the app. I would be hesitant to use it if there are other options available. Previously worked flawlessly. Recent update made the app completely nonfunctional. Infinite login loop with no explanation of error.
