What is Periscope?
Periscope lets you broadcast live video to the world. Going live will instantly notify your followers who can join, comment and send you hearts in real time. The more hearts you get, the higher they flutter on the screen.
Other features: [+] REPLAY: When your broadcast is over, you can make it available for replay so viewers can watch later. Viewers can replay your broadcast with comments and hearts to relive the full experience. Replays currently last 24 hours. You can delete your replay at any time. [+] PRIVATE: If you want to broadcast to specific people, press the lock icon before going live and choose who you want to invite to your broadcast. [+] TWITTER: You can choose to share your Periscope broadcasts on Twitter by tapping the bird icon before you start broadcasting. When you go live, you’ll tweet a link so that your Twitter followers can watch on the web (or in the app) [+] MANAGE NOTIFICATIONS: Periscope will suggest people for you to follow based on your Twitter network. You can always follow new people, or unfollow them if you don’t want to be notified when they go live. You can also adjust notification preferences in Periscope Settings (in Profile) [+] HEARTS: Periscope keeps track of how many hearts you get from your viewers. The more hearts, the higher you get in the “Most Loved” list.
The service was discontinued on 31 March 2021 due to declining usage, product realignment and high maintenance costs.

Comments and Reviews
Said about Periscope as an alternative
not complicated, stable streaming, trusted platform, very easily links up to twitter (because they own it, but still), wide range of users from different parts of the world
Similar to Meerkat in it's functionality and design but still supported.

It's a new trend, instead insta. And I like it!
Periscope desperately needs to add security measures like having to approve followers and require ratings for pornographic periscopes so I can filter what is available to view on my account and I don't have to worry about my children using my phone and opening up something inappropriate by accident. The trolling is horrible! If changes aren't made soon. I will be closing my account. Very unsafe for children. To many possibilities for sex trafficking and other dangerous uses for this app.
