Connect your existing Twitch account to see the channels you follow and chat with your own identity. MultiStreamer does not create a separate account. Every feature is free. No ads, no locked settings, no reduced stream count. Free watching runs in two minute stretches with a 30 second break in between. Pro removes that timer, and that is the only difference. Features • Watch up to 5 streams at once • Live chat with animated emotes from Twitch, 7TV, BetterTTV, and FrankerFaceZ • 7TV name paints, so chatters look the way they do on the web • Send messages with your own Twitch identity, and reply in threads • Cheers, first messages, channel point highlights, subs, and raids are called out • Emote picker grouped by source, with search across all of them and a Recent tab that follows you between channels • Group the channels you follow into your own Live tab sections, synced across your devices • Reruns and 24/7 loops sort themselves into Always Live • Push notifications when a channel goes live, per channel (iPhone and iPad) • VODs with chat replay synced to the video, resuming where you left off • Clips by channel or across everyone you follow, by day, week, or month • Search any Twitch channel, or browse top games with live viewer counts • Focus mode, stream rotation, and volume per stream • All, Video, Chat, and Chat plus Audio viewing modes • Pin a fixed stream quality, or leave it automatic • Background playback as Picture in Picture or audio only (iPhone and iPad) • Light, Dark and OLED themes (iPhone and iPad) • Preload a channel's emotes before you watch, with a cache from 100 MB to 2 GB • Streams reconnect on their own if they drop • Widget for the channels that are live right now • 20+ language filters • Available on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Mac MultiStreamer Pro Pro removes the watch timer. Streams keep playing for as long as you want them to. Everything else in the app is already yours. One Pro unlocks every device. Buy it once and it works on your iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Mac, on the same Apple Account. No more paying per platform. Two ways to get it: • Monthly, $0.99 per month • Lifetime, $9.99 once, with nothing to cancel Already bought Pro?
