  1. 5/5Liking Heckle very much!

    After the death of Periscope there has been a vacuum in the live streaming world for another app/community that scratches the same itch for me. Most of the other live streaming apps have become super weird and flashy and generally not much fun. For me Heckle is the closest to the community and laid-back vibe that I liked about Periscope back in the day. At the moment it seems like Heckle is still growing so there doesn’t seem to be a huge user base yet, but the base that is there has heart and I’m optimistic about its growth and I like the way it feels. Good job! Looking forward to Heckle’s future.

  2. 5/5Heckle is above the rest.

    One of my most used apps. The comment lag is non existent. So fast! The video is clear depending on your phone and your connection to the internet. Looking forward to when the creator adds fading comments and possibly even call ins! I love the community, how different everyone is and how welcoming most people can be. All walks of life welcomed and celebrated. The 9:30pm PST daily Q&A sessions are great for community building and also nice to know you have access for any questions regarding the app to be answered daily and live.

  3. 5/5New features:

    love the freedom on heckle compared to tiktok, being able to actually be yourself without worrying about getting banned is huge. a few features that would make this app unbeatable: 1) creator payouts so people going live can actually earn from their content 2) a tip jar system where viewers can send money during lives 3) no shadowbanning ever 4) a split screen collab feature so two creators can go live together 5) better discoverability so new creators arent invisible.

  4. 5/5Outstanding Broadcasting App

    So, so much to like about this wonderful live broadcasting app with replay and global search capabilities too! So much better and faster than Periscope with constant development and upgrades…always a surprise new feature. Without a doubt the most friendly people who broadcast worldwide. Thank you 😃

  5. 1/5Streams after you have ended your stream

    This is an invasion of our privacy. My husband started a live stream at 4:16pm eastern time and ended shortly after. Our friend texted us at 11pm asking, “has he been live for the last 7 hours?!” NO….he had streamed for a few mins, and ended. App was closed out. When I checked at 11pm, his account WAS LIVE. I was able to enter his stream, other viewers had been in and out. we immediately deleted this app. Had viewers been able to hear our conversations all night? See what we were doing!? This bug needs fixing immediately
