But when I try to scroll through the channels it tries to load and resets back to the top. And repeat every time. ### 1/5 — Fix the chat *2026-08-14, version 30.7* Chat has not been updating on only the mobile versions. Not even integrated chat bots or broadcasters are visible, I have to completely close the app for it to refresh properly. ### 1/5 — terrible loading stream list *2026-08-14, version 30.7* fix this stupid app. Jumps to top when scrolling through list of live streams. Been happening for 2 updates now. How is this app this broken. ### 1/5 — Nudity *2026-08-14, version 30.7* There is too much woman exposing themselves to get more money. This channel is for gaming not to be making porn videos. 😡 I reported a woman for exposing and she is still streaming ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-08-14, version 30.7* So many ads now. People are getting greedy ### 1/5 — They enabled AI Training on videos :/ *2026-08-14, version 30.7* ://// Stop being scummy like everyone else and earn a personality ### 3/5 — Issues with chat *2026-08-14, version 30.7* Hi i am a mod and chat doesnt update as people chat anymore makes things difficult when im not on a web browser and honestly im leaning more towards the web browser now ### 1/5 — Scrolling *2026-08-14, version 30.7* This new update made scrolling impossible on my followers page everytime I scroll down it immediately snaps me back to the top of the page it’s so frustrating ### 1/5 — Mao Zapdog app *2026-08-14, version 30.7* Good place to hear terrorist talking points from a dog abuser, while an old fossil acting like a teenager bans people for nothing and runs the company into the ground. ### 1/5 — Oh Hey Dan *2026-08-14, version 30.7* If Dan can see this, you need to quit adding AI stuff onto the platform. No one wants to use that stuff, except for the so called friends you have. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Refresh annoyance and No way to sort by games/categories you’ve heart’ed (follow) *2026-08-19* When I want to refresh the “Following” area, swiping down first brings out the “Stories” area (unless I do a very long swipe down that my hands have difficulty doing), then I can swipe to refresh, that extra layer/increased swipe distance is bad design and annoying. Also theres no way to view all the games/categories I am following. You can “heart” (follow) a game/category but cant sort by “heart’ed” (following) to see who is currently streaming all the games that interest you. Also the preview images of live streams in your “following” tab are tiny and don’t use all the screen space they could be using to show a bigger snapshot of the live streams (on phones), the option to choose a layout like the one used in the “Live” category would be nice, that way you don’t have to strain your eyes to see whats in the tiny screenshot. Theres also no way to disable chat when streamers add the chat to the stream overlay, I tune into a stream for the streamer and there are people saying weird stuff I don’t want to see that I cant disable, I don’t want to see it and don’t have any control over it on screen other than turning off the stream. Also, the app keeps changing the resolution I set for each streamer and their stream, I have to constantly change it back over and over again. ### 1/5 — TRAINING AI WITH STREAMS *2026-08-15, version 30.7* adding a button that allows streams/vids to be trained for ai, but it’s actually just for show because WHAT DO YOU MEAN IF I OPT OUT IM NOT ACTUALLY OPTING OUT OF TRAINING AI ### 1/5 — Remove Vertical View *2026-08-15, version 30.7* Vertical view not needed, I’ve never intentionally used it. The button’s at an inconvenient place that makes it easy to accidentally press and it takes forever to switch back. ### 1/5 — Forever giltched!! *2026-08-14, version 30.7* Update after update I hope things get fixed and they never do. Half the time chat is glitched onto the side of the screen even when the banner is saying “no chat” or “chat overlay” and god forbid a stream as a sponsor stream and the bottom banner never goes away announcing the sponsorship like it does on a pc. Please address this ### 1/5 — Ads central *2026-08-14, version 30.7* Very money hungry ### 1/5 — Gen AI Without Consent *2026-08-14, version 30.7* Twitch quietly rolled out a feature using chat and streams to train generative ai. It is automatically on without consent and without informing the end user that it’s even there. ### 1/5 — links, bugs and fixes *2026-08-14* Please for the luv of god, fix bot links not loading links, like you would press on a bots link and it will load then back out/crash, very annoying and also fix stream audio and video buffering as well and fix clips also, clips lag like crazy and some clips wont load/play at all and sometimes when u go to reply to someone in a chat, it will freeze and crash every time, very frustrating, also fix drops, drops will say “claim” but when u go to drops and awards, the drops wont appear and when drops do appear it wont let u claim the drops either, pls fix, oh and 1 more thing, fix following bug when i go to scroll down in following list, it crashes and or takes me back to the top and please revamp the live section, its very laggy and clunky and let us infinite scroll down and on ipad its very unbearable it cuts off half the screen and recommend streamers i mainly watch as well, pls do not recommend me streamers with 200 viewers or less not interested thank u ### 1/5 — Doesn’t let me change my username *2026-08-14, version 30.7* I go to Change it but doesn’t work on iPhone ### 1/5 — AI data harvesting *2026-08-14, version 30.7* Users are being subjected to a concealed opt out data harvesting scheme for the purposes of training generative AI. I will therefore be subjecting the platform to an opt out negative review. ### 1/5 — Shady practices *2026-08-14, version 30.7* On August 12 of 2026, Amazon, the company who own Twitch, decided to take it amongst themselves to add generative AI despite the fact that almost nobody on the platform wants this. As such until then I will be continuing to have a one star rating for this app and this company. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I’ve been doing my streaming good on this app. *2026-08-15, version 30.7* Excellent job. ### 5/5 — U *2026-08-15, version 30.7* Yu ### 5/5 — Great app. *2026-08-15, version 30.7* Overall just a great app for watching adds ### 5/5 — W *2026-08-15, version 30.7* So many options Love it ### 5/5 — Goodness *2026-08-15, version 30.7* This is a good app I love it ### 5/5 — I’m not a bot *2026-08-14, version 30.7* I genuinely enjoy twitch at what it has to offer,I’ve that the notifications are always on point and the variety of streams it gives . ### 5/5 — What I can watch it on. *2026-08-14, version 30.7* I enjoy watching the streams that I do.
