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

Twitch mobile is the absolute worst way to experience twitch. The app is plagued with nonsensical playback issues, horribly unreliable audio/video syncing, buffering,and more. I can pull up a stream on my laptop and have no problem running it at 1080p, but on twitch Mobile, same internet connection, it will struggle to playback at pretty much any resolution. Sometimes it will decide to run at 240p until you go out of your way to manually reload the stream. This app is embarrassingly bad.

I will prefer the previous version over the new app update. On Android TV, the app keeps flickering when watching, laggy playback, quality is not remembered (keeps defaulting to Auto), and the user experience is not the same any more. All these issues were not there in the previous version and that makes it frustrating. I am forced to use third-party alternatives for now until these issues are fixed

Unfortunately I gotta give this a 1 star. I like Twitch and like using the app, but for the last few months the app has been quite bad. When watching live streams or vods, the audio and video are not synced, which is quite frustrating. This is not an issue when using Twitch on my iPad, and YouTube and other streaming apps do not exhibit the same issue when being used on my phone, so it is not Bluetooth lag, the app just doesn't work properly at the moment, which sucks.

What's new

New look, who dis? We’ve rebuilt the app from the ground up to improve stability and your overall Twitch experience. The updated look and feel comes with performance enhancements as well as improved VOD playback controls for easier navigation.
