Broken App
I started having issues with the bonus chests a little while ago, when I tried to claim them it didn’t work and a message would pop up saying “Claim failed, please try again later”. So then after that happened I would just delete and redownload the app and then just keep it open, and it would work fine for a while. But now that’s not working, I just can no longer claim the bonus chests at all. I tried deleting and redowloading the app and I tried logging out and logging back in to my account, but neither of those worked, so then out of curiosity I tried using twitch on Safari and used the desktop version, and on there the chests work perfectly fine but it’s very annoying to use it like that. Oh yeah, and I also recently discovered that when you tap on people’s usernames in the chat it doesn’t bring up their profile and it also brings up an error message, so there are probably other things that are broken that I just don’t know about. Please fix it soon! Like I said, it’s been like this for some time but now there is no way for me to temporarily fix the issue, so I would really appreciate for it to just be fully resolved already!Show lessColorfulDarkness
Easy to use, ethically shady
I’ll cut to the chase: Twitch pushes a lot of ads onto the user as soon as they open any stream they’re not subscribed to. It can be anywhere from one five second ad to eight thirty second ads. Furthermore, they’ll intermittently push MORE ads from that range (more often than not landing on two or three thirty second ads) unless the streamer is doing it hourly on their own initiative.
The format and the like ability of their streamers is twitch’s saving grace. Unfortunately their current set up makes it almost impossible to willingly discover new people to watch. I’m also not 100% sure on this, but I heard that their creator deals are being lowered to 50% revenue for either side, which is the lowest I’ve heard a social media platform go with their affiliates.
Twitch feels like a money grab and any good community it has, has nothing to do with twitch itself but entirely with the streamer it pertains to. Twitch has demonstrated time and time again an utter lack of care for all its streamers, even their poster children and highest earning streamers.Show lessElle_Reed
Amazing, but!
Overall, the Twitch mobile app is a great tool for casual viewers who want to stay up-to-date with their favorite streamers on-the-go. The app is well-designed and easy to navigate, with all of the features you need to watch and interact with your favorite Twitch channels. One thing that would improve the app is the addition of a search bar for emotes. While the app allows you to use emotes in the chat, it can be difficult to find the specific one you want without a search feature. Adding this functionality would make it much easier for users to communicate with streamers and other viewers. That being said, the app is near perfect for anyone who wants to watch Twitch streams on the go. The interface is user-friendly, and the app includes all of the essential features such as following channels, viewing recommended streams, and browsing through previously watched streams. Additionally, the app offers a great viewing experience, with the ability to adjust video quality and access full-screen mode, even low latency mode! In summary, while a search bar for emotes would be a nice addition, the Twitch mobile app is an excellent tool for casual viewers who want to stay connected to their favorite streamers on mobile. The app is easy to use, with a clean interface and a host of useful features that make it a must-have for any Twitch fan.Show lessvisij3k
Would be 4 or higher but
I have loved twitch for a long time, but when they removed the host option I lost a lot of respect. Simply because they just stonewalled streamers.
Hosting someone was one of the best and easy ways to help a streamer reach people who they might otherwise never have reached. I feel that this is both a power move and to try and save money so they don’t have to pay as many streamers. Sure the share option is still there but that don’t help near as much unless, you as a person, have a big following. Meaning now if you want to help a small streamer grow, you need to have a large following and hope that they are willing to help the streamer you like. Instead of hosting them on your channel and keeping the stream live as long as they’re live. Passive traffic has dropped off due to this. And it’s really sad that a streaming service would do something like this to make it harder for anyone actually trying.Show less(>*.*)><(*.*<)
People should only get banned for one day. hear me out
Honestly, I enjoy the platform a lot however, me and my younger brother share the same account and he is really immature because he has autism so he would end up saying things really inappropriate thinking. It’s funny in some of my favorite streamers chats and end up getting banned and since we share accounts, that means I am also bad too and he has did this to some of my favorite streamers like defective nutt, frost fox, and even dream. And I know you can appeal your ban but I am still banned. I even gave the peel some time, but my band still didn’t get appealed, so hear me out if someone says something inappropriate and that certain streamer bins them, it should be one day then the next time to get banned it’s 2 day then if they get banned one more time it’s permanent I know some people will disagree with me, but it’s a lot better than having to appeal bans I hope twitch sees this, and if you do, I hope this gets added into the app Goodbye. Oh and if there are some misspellings, I do have dyslexia and I’m not the best at writing so yeahShow lessJ-117
Lost streams
I been using this app for a long time and its very good but the thing that I'm frustrated about is the streams disappearing or being deleted now if who I'm following is doing that Im fine with that but is twitch is doing that it makes me frustrated cause some people stream for long hours and sometimes I don't have that time and it will take me a while to finish it but twitch rushes you and you don’t get to enjoy the stream cause if you don't watch it “fast enough” its being deleted which upsets me when ever I just started watching a streaming series or the streamer im following start playing something new that I have interest in but then I miss out and others that I missed out on too cause people don’t have 10 hours in a day to finish it so A. Can you make a option where you can bring back any lost streams and maybe to where you can save it for later or B. bring back the streams and let the viewer finish them then you can delete them again later when their done watching, this would help a lot of people and me who are busy in life. also the multiple search bar functions be brought back cause sometimes twitch will bug and it wont let me search anything then I have to close snd reopen it and the one search bar thing is so slow to use when you wanna search multiple things.Show lessamazing pokemon player
Buggy
The new update with that collapsible side menu has brought on a bunch of bugs. The ones that are plaguing me right now are the lack of tag filters (I always have English selected and now no tags show up at all which floods categories with channels I’m not interested in), I always sort by high to low viewers but that is constantly getting reset to the recommended sort, and the search icon sometimes doesn’t work. Usually the search is in the side menu but sometimes it’s replaced with esports in it’s spot and the magnifying glass icon is up in the right corner like it used to be except you can’t actually click on it in the corner. That means I have to close and restart the app any time I want to search (which in turn means another set of ads when I have to rejoin the channel I was watching).
Also I just generally dislike the side menu thing. The user experience on iPad is worse with it.
I do appreciate that the hype train banner was made much smaller though.Show lessmetalheavy
I had it but…
So recently around June 19 I was doing a live stream (just chatting) and a couple minutes later my stream just stopped then I went to start it again and it said log in or sign up I was really confused and I was like at first oh I got logged out let me log back in when I did straight to the appeal page if you don’t know what that is it’s where it sends you to submit a request to get unsuspended/unbanned and then I got an email saying my twitch account was indefinitely suspended this is a bit emotional for me to talk about so I’m not gonna say what for but I promise you it’s not anything bad and when I try to make a new account it doesn’t work it’s a I think it’s a hardware ban if you don’t know what that is it’s when you get banned on one account and they send a signal to your what ever your using and ban you from even making an account. well at least I can watch people on my pc, well anyways (8/10) and that’s my review and I actually have to go back to bed it’s literally 4 in the morning #FreeExtremeisaiah?????????? aka my twitch if you wanna check it out see y’all later peace.Show lessTSM zaiyah
Auto-Charging Subscriptions; Irritating and Unethical
I like Twitch, I watch Twitch regularly but they irritate me with this simple problem;
If you subscribe, it should not Automatically Charge next month. Their current system Auto Charges you, unless you unsubscribe as soon as you subscribe. This system has caused me access problems bc im broke and its tough out here month to month, but they make it hard to support my favorite streamers without going through a hassle and it REALLY irritates me. I wish they would make subscriptions month by month. Unless you choose (DELIBERATELY) to set your subscription to ‘recurring’ in the stream’s (OR individual user’s) settings. The way they currently have it is Shady, because Auto-charges unless manually opted for are unethical, in my opinion. I really hope they consider setting Subs month by month, then a setting for opting in for recurring payments if desired. Or AT LEAST adding a preference in the individual viewers settings to only Sub month by month.Show lessIjustdidit4therewards
Can’t pause or hide chat on twitch app
So when I click onto a stream first thing you get hit with is a 30 second ad. Every time. Going off of that I usually use twitch on my computer and I have the option to pause a stream/hide chat if I wanted to but on the mobile version that isn’t the case I tap the screen and nothing shows up no options to pause no options to even turn on captions or to even change the quality of the stream and say I click off the stream to go answer a text message I go back to watch the stream and it starts it over (I was watching a old stream at the time) so it’s either you sit through the whole stream and god forbid you accidentally click off because when you click back on your at the beginning and can’t skip the stream forward to where you we’re because there’s no screen options :)
It’s super annoying and really inconvenient I just wanted to leave this review before I uninstall this app from my phone maybe some changes will be made for the future but I doubt itShow lessRyłèÿ
