Crowdcast Mobile 9+

What a wonderful Community of talented Artists, Designers, Brush and Tool Creators. The Live Videos which are then available in their Design Cuts Archive (if you weren’t able to see the live event) are absolutely invaluable for us neophyte Procreate users. You have allowed us to advance leaps and bounds by giving us access to established Artists and giving us a window into their actual design and execution process. Being able to have a ‘bird’s eye view’ as the artist creates, demoing brush choices, layer usage, and SO MUCH MORE has been invaluable to me. And one of the best things is the availability of the brushes they’ve created for us to purchase at discount prices! Design Cuts has become my Procreate learning community of choice as the Artists are so generous with sharing their ‘tips and tricks’ as they are demoing and teaching. But bottom line, Design Cut Community members are such a happy, innovative and passionate group of artists who love sharing their passion with others. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Design Cuts! You are the best!

There was a conference on Crowdcast and after purchasing a ticket I was sent a link. Using that link I went right from the email on my iPad to the conference. HOWEVER, the browser window was too small on my iPad and I couldn’t use the “comment,” “Question” or re-size window options. Frustrated, I downloaded the app thinking this would solve the problem. I put in my email (I had a profile, or so the website window said) but what I got when I signed in that email was a “link” emailed to me that I was instructed to follow. Which took me right back to the browser!!!

In short, I could NOT use the app to go to MY event. If I signed in with, for example, my facebook page, it didn’t recognize me as me (not the same email) and that I was a member of this conference I was attending. So, no going there. If I tried to sign in with my email...well, the app wouldn’t let me do that. It just keep sending me email links back to the browser window!

What’s the deal Crowdcast? Your app will let me do all kinds of things (adjust the window and such) but it won’t let me access my conference. It won’t even let me sign up as a member unless I use facebook or gmail or twitter NONE OF WHICH I COULD USE IF I WANTED TO GET TO MY CONFERENCE! Meanwhile, the browser will let me access the conference but not do anything but watch it! 😡😝👎🏻

Crowdcast was new to me until the time when we were all unable to travel, leave home, or have any fun! It has been an incredible educational opportunity, and I have been engaged in the world of literature, writing and music. I very much appreciate the work that goes into these presentations, and hope that they will continue even as we are able to travel. For folks like me, who live in rural areas, and cannot really pop across the country to meet and greet favorite Authors, this is a very wonderful opportunity to ask questions and interact with folks who share similar interests.
Tonight with Michael Connelly was great - and I don’t mind the spoiler factor AT ALL, since I won’t read the book until January, having spent 2022 reading and reviewing ARC from quite a few
Authors. I’m tired, in the best way possible.
Thanks again ,
