Works on 3G   I'm not sure what MediaScott is doing but this app works perfectly fine over 3G (and I'm running the same version he is). The app is very simple to use and works perfecly. Quality is very good on wifi (with no lag or frame skipping) and is reasonable over 3G. Overall this app is exactly what I wanted and I hope other news orgs implement the same concept. Completley worth it's price.

Does What Its Says, Works Well on Wi-FI, 3 G More Problematic.   Application is simple and straightforward to use. On a slow DSL wi-fi connection I occasionally get insufficient bandwidth notices and lose the connection unless I force the application to use the much lower quality "Standard Definition" format. Even with standard definition there is the occasional stutter. Standard definition is watchable, but just barely. High definition is fine, and you can watch it for hours without complaint. Over 3G, even standard definition sometimes drops out due to insufficient bandwidth. You really need nearly full bar coverage for it to work reliably over 3G. My only real complaints with the application are that there is no application specific volume control and that you can only adjust other settings before you start to watch the channel. You must use the iPhone external “rocker” volume control, as there is no visual slider type volume control. Once you begin watching the channel, if you want to change the vidoe quality setting, you must quit the application, then launch it again to get to the settings.

Works well   It does what it says and does it well. Quality over decent wifi is very good. Aljazeera is broadcast in HD and that means what you see via this app is as good as it gets on a mobile device.

Great content, app doesn't always load video   Al Jazeera English is an amazing channel that goes places no other channel does. The app for my 3G iphone does not always load the channel. I sometimes need to restart it. I assume that has to do with overload of the channel server. This doesn't appear to be a big issue for many users. 5 stars for content, 3 for app.

Great app, still some bugs   Excellent quality through a strong wifi connection. Fantastic content, Al Jazeera's quality of journalism is light years ahead of CNN! I occasionally get an isufficient bandwidth warning which accounts for the 4/5 since there are times where I must restart the app a few times in a row. If this small problem could be fixed, then it'd be 5/5.
Kudos for the ability to watch live a channel that is almost exclusively unavailable in the USA

Good Software.   It's a good software if you have a strong wifi signal. It will be better if it include an option to manually select a lower video quality just like France 24 Live to enable user to use it even in a low wifi signal area.

Did not work on iPhone 3GS at first   Was so anxious to buy it that I didn't notice the disclaimer about the incompatibility with the iPhone 3gs ! It's not the developer's fault that I bought it but they should still fix it ASAP!
Update:
The compatibility issue with the 3GS has finally been fixed! The picture quality is superb over WiFi, have not yet gotten a chance to try over 3G.
This is one of the best apps on the App Store!
Update 2:
So, I finally got around to testing this App more. What I found is the following:
- works well over wifi when the connection is reliable and signal is strong.
- Over 3G it has rarely worked for me. I'm on AT&T in the US so I can't really blame Livestation, but I would still expect it to work even if the video quality had to be degraded. France 24 is able to play very well on the same 3G connection.
- Compared with France 24's App I believe this App definitely needs another update to improve the reliability and slow connection handling.

Worth every cent   I watched aljazeera english all the time while traveling. Their reprting is solid. Unfortunately it's impossible to get aljazeera on US tv. This is a good work around and cheaper than cable.

Still terrible, needs work.   I got the update thinking now it should work. And for brief periods it does, I am so far not impressed. And for the record, I've watched other live streaming apps, such as MLB with no issue at all. Clearly it is this app that is the problem.

The other side of the tortilla!!   Every American ought to have access to news outlets free of the negative corporate influence that asfixiates alternative points of view.
Excellent worldwide coverage.
Keen analysis.
Draws attention to issues that the mainstream media ignores on purpose.
High definition quality on Wi-Fi. Excellent clarity on 3G.
A must for well informed minds.
