  1. 4/5The app is alright, but could be better in allowing customization when opening the app

    Don’t get me wrong, I would chose this app over all the other imitations out there, especially for streaming something I like in the background when doing something or nothing. But what I really get frustrated about with the app, is the new “feed” feature being designated as the first thing you see when opening the app. To which that just closes out the stream I already wanted to watch when it’s pop up banner comes across my screen. I was wondering if, in the next update installment, you allow the users of the mobile app version, to switch around the different settings when opening the app. So that their are less-no frustrations when choosing if you want to watch the feed of any streamer you follow, or allow the same settings as how they were before the “Feed” setting was added. Since it is a mildly annoying thing to have to open up the app and see a feed you don’t want to, at that moment, see and have to switch to something like following or browse, etc. to find the stream you want. Since feed, might not have what you are interested to watch at that moment in time. But it will automatically cancel out the stream you do want to watch when tapping the banner pop up and it opens the app, because it doesn’t know how to handle both at once popping up. Sorry for the rant, it just gets annoying to me when this situation happens since the new update happened. Thanks for hearing me and I hope you, and the company employees/employers have a great week.

  2. 1/5Unfortunate Update

    UI changes will always be hard at first, but this TikTok imitation for the Home section is vile. It not only looks weird but functionally doesn’t make sense. You can no longer just scroll through who you follow and it mixes in other content creators you’ve never seen. The live and clips buttons are right next to each other yet the clips won’t be of the creator your currently seeing on your screen. With most streams horizontally oriented there is so much wasted space on the screen just so you can scroll, and “better” yet they don’t support vertical stream previewing at this time, so this function seems painfully useless. The new layout of the browse, activity, and profile sections aren’t bad, so not sure how they butchered the Home Screen so much, but a HUGE ISSUE I’ve seen is there is no longer a section to continue watching VODS(which helped when leaving someone mid stream and wanting to finish it later) and isn’t even available when going into a streamers profile. The twitch forums for comments have been disabled, likely due to negative feedback so I am sharing my review here. I have used Twitch for years and find it sad that with subs more expensive to give on mobile they’d do us dirty like this. This is officially deterring me from using Twitch mobile and I hope there is AT LEAST an option to go back to the old UI soon. With a large percentage of Twitch users being on mobile I hope the decline in usage paired with negative feedback shows them they messed up. Please right this wrong Twitch.

  3. 1/5The new UI is unusable and frustrating

    It seems like Twitch is playing around with their UI layout, however this new one is not intuitive and hard to navigate. When you open the app, a random livestream starts play, just one and you have to swipe each stream one by one to even see the thumbnails or what they’re doing. You cannot pause them or turn them off. When I go to see the entire list of who is live, I can no longer see the thumbnail or title of the stream, only the name of the stream and the game they’re playing. There is NO WAY to quickly see all the titles and thumbnails of the all of the livestreams anymore. There is also no longer a “suggested streamer” category, which concerns me cause that was a main way that smaller stream could easily be found on the main page and now the main page is just a preview of a single random livestream, with no easy or good way to be able to preview all of my live followed channels and have a way to quickly see “suggested livestreams” section. It’s completely missing, replaced with this strange tiktok-esque scrolling, which is no way to quickly or easily preview multiple stream at one time. The old UI was way more intuitive and easier to use and navigate. This new one is a completely mess and it’s now impossible to quickly even see what the stream is about. I’m barely getting any information and I have to basically click through and guess which stream is doing what. Please reimplement the old UI or a similar version of it

  4. 2/5Latest Update Ruined the App

    Home page is essentially useless if you just want to see what your favorite streamer is up to. Twitch will say just look at your follow list but the only information available is the game or category they are doing. It was nice having a preview of their title or thumbnail for a quick glance to see what they are up to. Having to scroll through the home feed to see who and what they are streaming is so much more inconvenient that it previously was. Previously you could see multiple previews of the streams at once and what they are doing where as now you only get one. From my perspective it's pointless to even scroll through the home page because it is what Twitch's algorithm wants us to see, not what I want to see. If they wanted to add this current home page layout to the app they could have just added it to the discovery page on the previous version because that's what the home page has become. So also because of this new layout, if you do want to browse twitch home page, if you are watching a stream and minimize it, it automatically pauses which is quite annoying. I don't know what the thought process behind this design was, but if it was to try and keep people more engaged with the app and discover other streamers, I think it has done the opposite,at least in my case, because now I just look at my follow list and close the app if there's nobody I want to watch.

  5. 4/5Please change the layout to it’s original version

    It’s so difficult to navigate the app that the older version of the Home Screen is just instagram reels but with live streams on them. I can’t even see the streams I have yet to finish watching and I have to now search the name of the streamer and look for the video I was watching which is sometimes a hassle because to watch older video you have to scroll down all the way and sometimes even miss it because the bar it blends in with the background and thumbnail before I just had to scroll down a bit and boom there was my stream that I haven’t finished watching and I didn’t have to got through an entire process to find one video. I understand what Twitch wanted to do with the layout but it just doesn’t work or either remove it or just add another space in the bottom bar to access this because it really is a great idea what isn’t a great idea tho is to eliminate the Home Screen that has worked so well for the app scrap it and add an entire new UI that you can’t go anywhere with it just isn’t practical. On another note you can make the viewer choose how they want the UI to look like and make it more practical for every individual viewer and put it to their taste then you don’t have any problems with UI issues in the first place because they can just change how they want it to look like and that is a much better update to make.

  2. 1/5

    horrible experience on this app. lag alot, cant lower quality on some stream, will blast you with ads and turbo everytime you try to fix the damn thing reopening it, chat cant connect when the stream working fine, msg dont send most of the time, im 1miles from the cellphone tower and cant make this work. fixing issue and bug before pissing people off with ads sound too good for them.
