Went from perfect to terrible, specifically with watching vods. Collections never have the vods in them no matter what. The app has been updated several times, and vods still aren’t appearing in collections. Someone I follow has 36 vods in a collection, and when I open it, it says there’s none. Please fix it. If […]
Reviews for Twitch: Live Streaming

Recent updates to the application have begun to follow a popular pattern where the application, if left to have permission to your notifications shade, will start to spam you in regards to multiple things you never signed up for notification on. As such, I’ve had to permanently disable this applications access to notifications because it […]
This can be good and it can be not so good. I guess it depends on the weather. I rely on it for live chat during my own livestreams on the platform, and sometimes it just bombs hard. Sometimes it works well though, and I’m always grateful for those times, but the random disconnects, crashes, […]
I like it, but recently everytime I search someone’s twitch account it just stays loading and won’t show any results. I have to close the app and reopen it again in order for it to work. would actually like it if they could fix that. Another thing is the ads. There’s about 2-5 ads before […]
It was already annoying enough that I had to go into settings to change the quality every single time I open a stream, but with the newest update settings are bugged and I cannot access them at all. For such a big platform, Twitch cannot seem to figure out its mobile app. So many bugs […]
Dec 9, 2024: Gave it another try after seeing reviews some things were improved. It’s better. It didn’t open blasting things in my face. The Following tab is very large and visible now. PIP works alright, and landscape mode can have chat to the side (you need tap some icon to see the full frame […]
Ever since they changed the UI the app has been full of bugs. Video Playback literally just pause at random while the audio continues. If you open the sub, bits or any page while watching a stream, the video Playback will pause. Their “report a problem” options are not detailed and don’t allow you to […]
Whenever I’m watching a VOD, at the end of every ad break, the VOD keeps on starting over from the beginning. I can understand running ads for free users, but this is just a problem. It is a problem that has been going on for SEVERAL MONTHS as far as I can recall. To anyone […]
Really unfortunate when they pushed Twitch stories that it completely FALLS apart. 🤦♀️ I am updating my app and hoping it fixes. But the only “fix” I ever found was completely clearing it out, which means logging out. That’s not really a fix. It’s so bizarre as I can throw clips into stories from PC […]
Stream settings button stopped working. Playback speed works one time until you pause/switch streams/anything. After that, the sound plays at normal speed and skips ahead to sync with the faster video. Chromecast support is still shoddy. Android app can view 60fps streams very well. Chromecast almost never can. Seems to ping pong between “High” and […]
Used to minimize a stream to check drops. Now I have to click into settings and I can hear the stream but not see it, and it buffers when I go back. Also I can’t click the settings button in the stream window? How do I change quality? I don’t need 1080p on my phone, […]
Starting like a week ago, the whole app takes a lot of time to load or straight up, never decide to load. It’s not my wifi because every other app/game works completely fine. Also, the chat on streams is working completely fine. Sometimes, the stream that im watching pauses, and I can’t unpauses. Having ads […]
I don’t want a landscape stream lazily stretched and blurred to a full portrait, especially when it’s someone i don’t care about because you can’t get suggestions right. The following button has moved to the upper left, which is the least convenient place for the only mode i care about. Let following be my default. […]
I consistently use this app and consistently have problems. Not sure if it’s just my device version, because I know it’s not very common to cast Twitch to a TV. This feature is so bad on mobile that it’s almost not even worth using. Have you ever tried it? Seriously try it. While typing/ dictating […]
The app is just overall clunky. It forces you to watch someone’s live when you open it which is terribly annoying because then it will get stuck playing in the background while I struggle to find the streamer that I want. then when I do find them it’s then playing the sound from both streams. […]
An infuriating user experience from top to bottom. Pages often refresh, causing you to do actions you didn’t intend (such as accidentally deleting clips/videos you didn’t mean to delete). The homepage scroll is the most poorly implemented video scroll ever. Streams stutter and lag, and the app has a hard time loading videos in general. […]
Twitch refuses to allow me to change email addresses without using my old address. That domain name I purchased before the massive spam problem happened to 100% of all that end in dot xyz Those email addresses result in something unique. They are blacklisted for all of time. I will certainly die of old age […]
Fix the mobile streaming widget bubble. The mobile streaming widget barely works: when in landscape orientation it doesn’t show the chat, or the camera, and hasn’t for over a year at least. Now when I try to open the widget in either orientation with it not to the far left, it gets cut off by […]
The app feels great and looks pretty good, but after the recent update some of the pages don’t work anymore. For 1 the drops page isn’t easy to access and when you do use it you can’t see the drops info or quickly go to a stream who has it active. And 2 the clips […]
great app if you can afford to pay the absolutely ridiculous prices they ask for. unfortunately, if you can’t afford to waste money you’re gonna be watching 5 back-to-back 15 second ads every 10 minutes. it’s unbearable. for streams that are doing drops, that number only goes up too. if they lowered the price to […]
