About this app

Twitch is where thousands of communities come together for our favorite streamers, for the games we love, for the lulz, for each other, for whatever. Download Twitch and join millions enjoying live games, music, sports, esports, podcasts, cooking shows, IRL streams, and whatever else crosses our community’s wonderfully absurd minds. We’ll see you in chat.

Here’s a convenient list of other awesome things about Twitch:

Everyone is “about” community. We actually are one: Whatever you nerd out about, you can find your people on Twitch.
Give support, get support: Find new streamers and subscribe to your favorites. Plus, unlock exclusive perks for your support.
Start your own channel: The Twitch app is one of the easiest ways to start streaming. Just create an account, go live directly from the app, and bring people together around whatever you’re passionate about.
You never know what you’ll find: Popular games are always live, but so are music festivals, rocket launches, street tours of Tokyo, and goat yoga. Yes, really.
Dark mode: Y’all love this one. Black and purple have never looked this good together.

Ratings and reviews

Excessive ads makes it unwatchable, and evenmoreso incredibly difficult just to say high to someone and wish them joy. Ad count is reaching 11 at times, rarely less than 9. Makes me want to abandon the platform as a viewer. The updates to force the viewer to watch a top streamer as a home screen is unbearable and has replaced the ability to simply look at the list of people who are currently streaming. On top of it all, mobile subscriptions are more expensive and can't be handled normally.

Twitch got worse since the last update. Ads and/or new update/fix definitely lag or bug out the app when watching videos so that you have to re-enter it so many times to just watch the stream again that could've gone back to the start for no apparent reason. Then, if that happened, you have to figure out the part you were at and, probably, rewatch parts of the stream again 'cause you didn't notice where you were at that exact time.

Seems ok, but it's not what I want from twitch. The app is too focused on showing me new streams. I just want to follow a handful of streamers, but I can't even get the full list of streamers that I follow in the app. Also, getting 30 second ads when I just want to take a quick look at what someone is doing completely kills the mood for me. App should save the ads for at least a few minutes into watch time.
