[2012-07-17] Eric: Won't Stream Music Now Video has never streamed all that well however music did and that is primarily what I use it for however since upgrading to ICS on my HTC Sensation that no longer works at all. I just get an "Humm, something went wrong with the player" error. Pretty much useless at this point in time :-( |
|
[2012-07-11] chul: Buggy Orb live title bar always visible when playing video so not full screen and fast forward doesnt work. Have the fully paid version. Using it on galaxy s3 us version. |
|
[2012-07-03] Dustin: Still sucks!! This app is STILL horrible. DO NOT PAY FOR THIS APP. |
|
[2012-06-28] mike: Won't work Junk of a program. What a wast of money. |
|
[2012-06-25] Pat: Unusable on razr Video plays at about half speed while audio plays at normal rate |
|
[2012-06-20] hecatomber: HTC Amaze 4g (ICS) Been using orb cast since '07, mobile operation worked perfectly back in windows mobile days and that was all free. This paid software is ok but needs some serious work. The video services option is worth the price alone but they need to add HBO GO immediately! Browser operation is perfect especially with skyfire but then you don't have access to the video services. |
|
[2012-06-11] Luis Brenes: Useless on 3G The only way this app will work is if you have a superfast 3G connection minimum 4 megs, otherwise don't waste your money because it wont work, not even for music. If you have a slow connection you are better off using ORBs website that One works perfectly and it is FREE. I hate to say it but the iPhone version of this app is sooo much better, that one does work because you can change the streaming speeds. |
|
[2012-06-09] Bobs: Won't not start on PC Even with start on boot not selected in PC Orb Caster app it starts anyway. No way to prevent it. Very annoying if you have it installed on several systems on a network. PC app should contain an output driver which appears in the Windows Sound application Playback tab so as to be able to direct any sound from the PC (such as from within an audio editor or a browser app) to the Android device. |
|
[2012-06-05] JZ: Just gets worse Fast forward doesn't work anymore, goes into a video player error abput 90% of the time. Subsonic is the real deal! |
|
[2012-06-04] Orlando: App does not work correctly TV tuner does not work. Video skips. This app doesn't work for me. I thought that switching to lte would aliviate problems but I was wrong. |
|
[2012-06-03] tjl: Incompatible with my device Used to work great on my Epic 4G touch. But now that i flashed ICS onto it, the app market just says its incompatible with my device. It used to work great on my rooted Droid 1 with a custom rom, why wont it run on my Epic with a custom rom? Please add ICS support. I paid for this app, and i would like to use it |
|
[2012-05-29] yiddles: Unreliable at best. Got this for the TV tuner and Hulu features but neither work. Video streaming works but the quality is poor. Could be a killer app but right now it's just disappointing. Galaxy Tab 10.1 |
|
[2012-05-21] ShoboGinzo: Works Does what it claims |
|
[2012-05-15] Rob: Never works The app basically never works, always some type of error. I'm mad I paid for it |
|
[2012-04-29] R: It works but When streaming live tv it only streams for about 5 minutes before it freezes....would be nice if you could move it to sd card to save some space |
|
[2012-04-26] Paul: Not working Will not stream anything on my galaxy tab 10.1 on honeycomb. Connects to the server just fine. |
|
[2012-04-08] Noah: Not reliable. Mostly works for music but song transition time is excessive. Playing video causes the orbcaster on my pc to crash. |
|
[2012-03-28] Chad: Recommended TV Tuner does not work well Using the USB TV Tuner that they use in their examples...it works for about 3 minutes then stops. Any internet problem or phone call that comes in makes it stop playing. Once stopped, I have to reboot the pc to get the tuner working again because Caster munged it up. Then the start as service doesn't work at all...so you have to login and make sure that caster comes up again before using. Found myself RDPing into my machine to reboot and start caster way too much. Contacted Tech Support twice...no answer, didn't even bother trying to get back to me. Forums not much help as a bunch of people have problems but they're almost all for different reasons. Video streaming works fine. I bought for TV tuning though...want my money back. |
|
[2012-03-20] David: Won't play anything After hours of troubleshooting and port forwarding and resetting and reinstalling it still has yet to successfully play even one mp3, waste of time and $10 |
|
[2012-03-17] Jay, URQUHART: Hmmm Can't download new update.. |
|
[2012-02-28] the 2/29/2012
|
[2012-02-27] Gregory: not so good ay Real disappointed older version much better |
|
[2012-02-22] EnTuPoto: Works great, when it wants to, I m watching a video then freezes all of a sudden then says video error hmmmm plz fix! |
|
[2012-02-21] Daniel: Not working Video player problems |
|
[2012-02-18] Chris: Great for movies diagnosed from your computer Have an i5 computer works to stream video over hspa 4g almost perfectly every time a must have if you have a I5 or higher computer |
|
[2012-02-14] Jose: Now it work After updating my Ram to 4GB it reads music from my harddrive |
|
[2012-01-29] Grant: Wildfire s. Works alright over wifi, not at all on virgin3g. Cant pause with out crashing. |
|
[2012-01-18] morrisz: Does not seem to work on ICS Using Galaxy Nexus with ICS and fully updated PC Orb server, I can browse list of songs but always get error message when trying to play anything. Oh well. Really want this to work like it used to on my Droid. |
|
[2012-01-16] David: It's only OK. I got this app mainly to connect to my PC TV tuner. This usually works fine (but not always) on both my HTC Incredible 2 & my Samsung Galaxy tablet. It has all sorts of problems streaming audio on my tablet. You would expect a $10 app to do better. |
|
[2012-01-11] Richard C: Stuttery and frustrating. I bought this for listening to music. I hoped for more from a paid app. Orb stutters and can pause between songs for almost as long as the song itself. AudioGalaxy seems to do the same thing for music, better and for free. |
|
[2012-01-08] dh: Worst streaming app I've tested |
|
[2012-01-05] Adam: Worst app ever This is quite literally the worst app ever. $10 and it constantly has trouble connecting while not allowing you to go to the next song in a playlist without errors. A travesty. |
|
[2012-01-04] Jim: Works well under VMWare Works well Works well on Droid incredible gingerbread. I would give it 5 stars but I am struggling to understand how my server is free on PC to use but not free on Android. It's pricey app. My server is on win xp running in VMplayer vm with 2 cores allocated and 64 bit ubuntu 10.04 host. |
|
[2011-12-21] Patrick: 3D eros: what version of Orb Caster are you running? |
|
[2011-12-14] gamerfan2004: Works again :) |
|
[2011-12-13] bonez565: PERFECT! Does exactly what it is meant to do. For it to work smoothly you WILL require a decent computer and a fast network. Thank you Orb. |
|
[2011-12-12] Rob: Sorting&searching is good but video quality stinks I am in search of a good setup for sharing my home PC's media to my Android phone and my downstairs TV via Wii - This isn't cutting it as the web version (Wii) is terrible quality. Frame rate stinks and image quality is low! PlayOn quality is much better but it's organization of personal media sharing is pretty bad. |
|
[2011-12-10] 3D eros: Have the right version on your PC. I intially gave this app a bad review but after speaking with customer service, I was referred to a particular version of orb caster for my PC. If you're having problems video not working over 3G or TV tuner not working 90% of the time. Contact customer service and have them direct you to the version that will address your particular issue. This would be a 5 if there wasn't so much fragmentation in release versions. |
|
[2011-12-04] Andrew: Doesn't crash... Doesn't crash anymore, so bump them up from one star. |
|
[2011-11-21] adamwsh: Not what it used to be I like the older version better!!! New version's picture viewer shows black "loading" screen between image fetches (used to stay on previous image until next one was ready). Can't set display time for each picture - set to 3 seconds (used to be able to change this). Does not show image full-screen while in Portrait mode (it used to). I wish I could uninstall new version and re-install the previous version. This sucks for an app I paid $10 for! Last update was 2 months ago. Where's the next update!? |
|
[2011-11-17] JerkyChew: The new version is better but they removed the ability to browse by date, which I used constantly. |
|
[2011-11-14] Stuart: Crashed orb caster on 1st video watched |
|
[2011-11-11] the 11/13/2011
|
[2011-11-10] Garin: Perfect Ignore the old comments! Newest update works beautifully!! HTC incredible / Miui ++ OptI V / CM7 |
|
[2011-11-02] Dena: No multitasking Force closes when texting or doing anything outside of app. Samsung captivate. Please fix! |
|
[2011-11-01] Ivan: Works great... Poor reviews are from people who can't set up their hardware properly. It's not supposed to be YouTube or hulu |
|
[2011-10-21] Anonymous: Jay Doesn't work over wan at all. Will connect won't stream properly. Over lan its choppy. I have a galaxy S2. Was ok in Iphone but awful on droid. |
|
[2011-10-19] Jason: Please add option to download Great update I love this app, plays my videos great, however hulu loads but the videos never start, even on wifi. Please fix |
|
[2011-10-19] Antonius: The new orb is great, lost hope and just re-installed, way to bounce back. EVO |
|
[2011-10-13] imf: Awesome! It's too bad people are having trouble with this software. It's working great for me on wifi. Haven't tried it with a good 3g connection yet. How awesome is it that I can watch not only my videos on my home pc, but I can stream my TV tuner to my phone. Such a great idea. The software still has some kinks, but this is pretty new stuff. I love it. Great job! |
|
[2011-10-10] Ben: Doesnt work on Bionic Works on my Gtablet (even though the market wouldnt let me get it) video fails completely on Bionic. Needs the option to set streaming rates like the |
|
[2011-10-05] Chris: Poor support, but video is a nightmare Audio works OK, but video is a nightmare |
|
[2011-10-04] psyrtash: Can not play live video I get error messages such as "Video Player error" or "Error when preparing the media" I am unable to watch live video.on Samsung Galaxy S II. using this program |
|
[2011-09-28] John: No video on 3g All works well over WiFi. Video needs to work over 3g to justify app price. Please fix soon! |
|
[2011-09-26] Federico: Great app. Definitely worth your money, tried 3g and wifi, quality is great. Now I can watch hulu on the train. Awesome. |
|
[2011-09-25] Caleb: 15 minutes to receive a refund? You are crooks. Thieves. |
|
[2011-09-22] Serpentine Ocean: Audio no video 10$ for a broken app. Audio sounds pretty good, but video does not work (3G or WiFi on HTC incredible) |
|
[2011-09-21] Stephen: Thanks Music works well on 3g but not video. Needs buffer ability. |
|
[2011-09-20] moju27: Great app! The stream quality is pretty amazing. Samsung Galaxy S. |
|
[2011-09-20] Terry: ***** Works good after a bit of setup trial and error. Use Wake on LAN app to wake PC. |
|
[2011-09-19] BanZZai: Works great on my evo. Music, hulu on 3g... Fun! |
|
[2011-09-19] bobby: Works great This update is light years ahead of the previous version. Works pretty well on my Dell Streak and Asus Transformer. Good job developers! |
|
[2011-09-17] Zane: Great Video Streaming Application. I am very pleased with the recent update. I can stream TV Shows and Movies from my HTPC (Home Theater PC) to my Samsung Captivate (2.3.4) over both WiFi and 3G with no problems. Was able to stream 480p, 720p, and even 1080p HD files! Only gripe is that playback can skip a bit (or sometimes stop) with HD 1080p files when resuming playback after pausing. Don't blame the app for your equipment deficiencies. You will need a moderately fast PC and decent internet connection speed to use this properly. |
|
[2011-09-16] Anonymous: Great Installed logged in and was watching my media from anywhere on my droid charge |
|
[2011-09-16] Brice: Needs download option Sure there's streaming but this is Android. There HAS to be an option to download your own music from your home computer. 2 stars until then. |
|
[2011-09-16] Alex: Love it! HTC inspire running gingerbread. Finally getting ALL my tv showz on it!!! |
|
[2011-09-16] Tony: It just works! This is a streaming app. Prefer that to a download app. If you want to download, then use Carbonite, who wants to wait for 700MB movie to download? |
|
[2011-09-15] Mike: Useless unless you have super fast network. Orb caster crashed on me too. 3g video is not possible. Even playing music it got network errors... |
|
[2011-09-14] Egídio: Wow! Awesome on the Samsung Infuse Lately I've been using Amazon Cloud Player, Google Music, Spotify and Orb Live. Since this latest update with new UI, Orb Live is at the front of the pack. It works very well on the Samsung Infuse 4G phone. What a difference this revised version makes! Keep up the good work. Orb Live is the easiest way to listen to my music library anywhere. |
|
[2011-09-14] Skutterdan1701: Constant video errors Whilst, in theory, this could be a great product it fails in one important aspect. It doesn't work. Or more precisely video rarely works. |
|
[2011-09-14] Robert: So close,but so far. Need a way to choose between different audio tracks for videos with more than one language. Also a way to buffer videos before playback begins. |
|
[2011-09-13] Aaron: Update Much better after the update. |
|
[2011-09-13] James: Htc evo 3d ...live tv stream doesnt work still |
|
[2011-09-13] wayne: Real shame it don't work refund |
|
[2011-09-13] scaira: Thanks for the long overdue update! Works great now. Running Caster on Svr2008 no probs and Orb Live on Galaxy s2. No problems found yet. |
|
[2011-09-12] Jeff: Finally updated! After waiting a year for an update, orb finally works on gingerbread! I'm so happy I can finally use this app again! EVO 3D, 2.3.3, rooted, viperrom |
|
[2011-09-12] Jonathan: Too little too late Thanks for letting us wait for 1.5 year for the update, Orb. People have moved away to other apps that can do just the same a long time ago. |
|
[2011-09-12] Spencer: Not ready Requires a version of orb caster that is not out yet for mac OS. Seriously? |
|
[2011-08-10] matt: Way to slow to load come on guys update please |
|
[2011-08-04] the 8/6/2011 Sucks doesn't work on gingerbread fix it! Want my 10 bucks back! |
|
[2011-08-02] Sachit: You guys are a-holes for making this and not supporting it refund now $10 bux was stolen from me and it was orb who did it |
|
[2011-07-20] BoogerPEZ: Used to work on my Hero Used to be great. Suddenly I get force close every time I try to start the app. I want my $10 worth please. |
|
[2011-07-16] Stoagie: Wonderful when works.... Sadly that's less than 2% of the time. Switched to audio galaxy, that app is awesome |
|
[2011-07-15] Matti: A bit glitchy at times but an awesome thing to have mobile access to many GB of music, pics and videos from your home compy |
|
[2011-07-13] JM: Does not work on gingerbread no updates in over a year waste of money |
|
[2011-07-11] Curtis: Constant Force Close with Gingerbread.....worked fine before |
|
[2011-07-06] mark : Was great. Now useless. |
|
[2011-07-04] lnxparm: Hasn't worked for months. Not happy with this vendor at all. |
|
[2011-07-03] sydvishus: Best app ever to access your personal data and media. |
|
[2011-07-03] George: Used to be great....doesn't work on gingerbread. Just force closes and there is no sign of an update. |
|
[2011-07-01] Jeff: FC on start... No Gingerbread/CM7 support!... ~Sprint Evo 4G |
|
[2011-07-01] Alejandro: No update for gingerbread, nor an apology or any note telling us it will be fixed. Spent $10 on this and used it all the time, loved it before........ |
|
[2011-06-27] Lamont: Does no work on Gingerbread App does not work whatsoever on Gingerbread... Force closes everytime. Still no update after a very long time. I think they just don't care and may have abandoned orb for android users. DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!! |
|
[2011-06-27] glenn: Same problem, does not work on gingerbread. I agree with other comments, they've known about this for months now and do nothing to fix it! Waste of $ |
|
[2011-06-26] Roy: The PC server application can't handle TV tuners on Windows 7. Orb has known about this for a long time, and has done jack squat about it. |
|
[2011-06-26] Dave: Junk Did not work well. not worth the price. An "update" was promised by support. They said a month....I waited...and waited. Three months later, no updaye. Requested a refund. Got it. Request a refund. sadly, I have to give at least one star. did not want to |
|
[2011-06-24] Brian M. Scott: Needs some serious work. |
|
[2011-05-26] Aaron: Won't work with gingerbread, unacceptable for a ten dollar app. |
|
[2011-05-23] J.A.: If they are not going to update this they should just pull it from the market ..Horrible product |
|
[2011-05-23] Alacard: Worst app ever. Save your self time & money and just use Subsonic |
|
