Streamup is a free iPhone app to broadcast live shows and watch live video streams. It is definitely one of the best live video streaming apps for iPhone that I have come across. Apart from broadcasting and watching live videos, you can also chat with any viewer or broadcaster while watching their live streams. You might have used many live streaming apps such as Birdplane, Kanvas, and Livestream, but if you want to broadcast interactive live streams with ease, then this app is probably the best option for you. The broadcasting part is also super easy and fast, as you can go live instantly with a single tap.

Another useful feature of this app is that it lets you create your own channel and also discover tons of global channels. It lets you search for channels as Live Now or All Users with popular hashtags. You can follow your favorite channels and get alerts when the broadcasters go live. The global channels are filtered by Featured, Newest, All, and Following (streams from people whom you follow). It also has the option to invite friends to your shows and share live streams directly to Facebook and Twitter.
