But can't watch twitch vods. The only thing i use twitch for is watching their vods. ### 3/5 — Ads indefinitely halt video *2026-07-20, version 5.1.0* Works well overall and the UI is decent, but over half the time an ad attempts to play the screen goes to black and attempts to load the ad indefinitely. Opening another stream or reloading the stream doesn’t seem to fix this. Only after a couple minutes of attempts will the stream resume and only after reloading or switching streams. ### 2/5 — latency *2026-07-10, version 5.1.0* the chat features are great, but for video, there's a whole base 15-20 second latency at all times for any stream so it's almost unusable from a viewer's perspective. ### 4/5 — Updated *2026-06-15, version 5.1.0* Latest update fixed some things as they were before though the channel search history is weird now. It searches by individual letters. I know keeping up with twitch must be a pain, but Thank you 🙏 just connecting to chat at least is enough for me 🙏 ### 5/5 — Solid Twitch chat app *2026-06-14, version 5.0.5* Note: The “Show historical recent messages” feature is currently broken and keeps chats from loading. The bug has been reported on github, hopefully there will be a fix but for now disable in Settings or try “Reconnect” from the … menu. This is the best alternative to the horrid official app, tons of features and customization settings. Overlay the PiP video from the official app and there’s no delay. ### 5/5 — Audio and chat delay *2026-06-11, version 5.0.5* There is a 15 second to 19 second chat and video latency/delay if you could please fix it that will be awesome ### 2/5 — Recent Connection Issues *2026-06-10, version 5.0.5* App has been working well for a while, but it refuses to connect to chat for the last week on iPhone, still works on iPad. Would love to see a fix, otherwise app is unusable. ### 2/5 — What went wrong *2026-06-09, version 5.0.5* All of the sudden, it CANNOT connect to chat rooms and I use this app once in a blue moon. These delayed ahh stream still seems to work at least. Might move on to something else honestly. ### 5/5 — No option for changing the stream quality *2026-06-08, version 5.0.5* The app is actually good. I’ve been using it for a couple of hours and everything is close to perfection, the only thing I would want to be added to this app is an option to change the video quality because I don’t want to waste my data watching everything in highest quality while 480p can do the work. I’m on this app for the chat, not the stream and my main focus is on the chat. So adding that feature would be a great deal for me! ### 5/5 — Just what you'd want! *2026-05-13, version 5.0.5* The app does everything it says it does perfectly, but not only that. In my opinion, it's options of viewing streams through full screen and varying options of chat and screen cross displaying is so refined compared to the official app that this becomes the go-to over the other regardless of third party emotes being missing. I highly recommend this to any Twitch user that wants a mobile viewing that can match a computer device viewing in a handheld experience. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible UI and takes forever to load *2026-07-26, version 5.1.0* Not sure why but it takes 10-20 seconds to load into a single stream on a 900 MB/s network. Bad ui too ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-06-24, version 5.1.0* Sucks ### 1/5 — Updates *2026-06-20, version 5.1.0* I get signed out every update ### 1/5 — chat is never loading *2026-06-12, version 5.0.5* infinite "Connecting to chat...” for a week already, doesn't seem it's getting fixed any time soon, meanwhile original twitch app chat works fine. no VPN or anything helps this infinite connection. very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Not blocking ads *2026-06-11, version 5.0.5* Though that would be blocking ads as promised but didn’t work ### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect to chat *2026-06-09, version 5.0.5* Doesn’t connect to chat ### 1/5 — Borderline unusable *2026-06-03, version 5.0.5* If you want to actually participate in the chat, this app is currently unusable. Very frequently, messages you try sending just stall and do not send. Super frustrating and seemingly no interest in resolving the issue. It’s been this way for nearly a year. Avoid this. ### 1/5 — Unresponsive Dev *2026-05-28, version 5.0.5* Update: Dev won’t respond to feedback. In chat only mode, my phone gets really hot like it’s still streaming the video. Please fix! The native Twitch app is garbage for mobile chatters. I use my TV for video and when in chat only mode, there is maybe 20% space allocated to actual chat. This app, aside from its many other features, fully dedicated the mobile screen when in chat only mode. Praise be the dev(s)! ### 1/5 — Verbugt oder doch geplant!? *2026-04-21, version 5.0.5* Der Player hängt sich alle 20-30min auf sodas man den stream neu laden muss dann muss man natürlich auch wieder Werbung schauen was ein Zufall… fix den Müll macht euer Geld ehrlich ihr Opfer. ### 1/5 — You Can’t Follow Streams *2026-03-05, version 5.0.5* That’s the whole review. There’s no way to go to a page and follow them. Worthless ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — HOLY *2026-09-05, version 5.2.0* SO GOOD SO GOOD ITS MY FAVORITE COLOR U CAN CHOOOOSE THE COLOR ALSO ITS SO SMOOTH NOTHING LAGS IM SO HAPPY RNNNNN THANK U CREATOR PERSON 💛💛💛💛💛 ### 5/5 — New update is phenomenal! Great app that fixed the few things that needed to be *2026-08-20, version 5.2.0* Love the update that allows p in p easier and stopped the freezing. Much better than twitch app obv ### 5/5 — I like it *2026-08-19, version 5.2.0* I mainly use Frosty for Twitch chat while I have the video on my iPad. I love seeing the BTTV & FFZ emotes instead of just words. ### 5/5 — OPEN SOURCE *2026-07-23, version 5.1.0* OPEN SOURCE WINS AGAIN BABYYY (can be buggy but it isn’t constant ad fodder that barely works) ### 5/5 — So good! *2026-07-17, version 5.1.0* 10/10 Love using this app I would like a way I could add multiple streams at once if that’s even possible but all in all I love this app. ### 5/5 — Solid Twitch chat app *2026-06-28, version 5.1.0* This is the best alternative to the horrid official app, tons of features and customization settings. Overlay the PiP video from the official app and there’s no delay. ### 5/5 — Could’ve have had a better app *2026-06-27, version 5.1.0* It easily became my go-to app. If you’re someone like me who likes to see all the bttv/7tv emotes like widepeepohappy + all the classics, this app is for you, It makes the whole watching experience better, Theres also a better way to reply, past messages and more. I really like it. They have had some bugs in the past and some pop up here-and-there but the updates show they care and that’s appreciated :) very much :) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-26, version 5.1.0* Thank you for the app and all updates. Love it. Don't use an official amazon app anymore thou. ### 5/5 — Superior Twitch client *2026-06-22, version 5.1.0* Miles better than the official Twitch app! ### 5/5 — Suggestion *2026-06-16, version 5.1.0* Is it possible that you could implement a duplicate message bypass option, just like 7TV/FFZ/Chatterino/Chatsen do? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
