Livestream

Watch live events and broadcast live from your Android device using this neat app
Google Play Store is home to all sort of interesting applications that could help users stay connected with friends and enjoy entertaining content on the internet. One of such applications is Livestream.

It lets you watch live videos, streamed by channels and people from all over the world. Users can also stream their very own content from their phones, wherever they are as long as internet connection is available. It has lots of interesting and useful features, but it also comes with some flaws.

Intuitive and nice interface with everything you need at hand

The app launches with a very comprehensive tutorial, showing new users all the neat things that they can do inside the app. It doesn't have a side menu, but fortunately the app has a toolbar on the bottom of the screen to grant access to all sort of tools.

Simply slide the screen left or right to navigate through content. The first thing that you need to do inside the app is to register with an account. You can use your Facebook credentials to do so or a personal email address. However, it seems that some users have hads trouble with registering with an account, so you'll have to be patient with this app.

Check out all sort of interesting content

Once you've set up an account, you have the option to import contacts from Facebook and find your friends inside the network. The app also provides you with a list of accounts that you might be interested in and which you might want to follow. You can find all sort of users there, fashion accounts, technology, music, entertainment and more.

It gives you instant access to all sort of live streams and even lets you know of upcoming ones. There's also the option of checking out archives streams and watching the videos.

More features

It gives users the option to search for accounts by simply typing in the name. Users can broadcast their own stream, enable the microphone, switch cameras and pick the event that they wish to attach it to.

You have all sort of options for customizing your profile, by changing the picture, the password, connect accounts and auto-notify followers of upcoming events and streams.

There's also the option to like and share videos with friends on other social networks. In addition, you can comment on posts and read descriptions of the top events on the network.
