About this app

Welcome to the Purple App, 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

Unusable, covered in ads. App itself runs terribly, constant desync issues and the UI/UX is one of the worst I've ever used on any app. Then the ads... by far the worst, most invasive and pervasive ads you will ever see on any platform and it's not even close. For every minute of a stream you watch, expect about 10 minutes of ads. It's almost comical how beyond awful this company and app are. There are more ads than content worth watching, as someone that used to like twitch- it is a lost cause

So, I am editing my review. It's nice that the UI was reverted back, and at least some of the bugs seem to have been resolved. My biggest thing right now is I'd love it if every single time I went into the same person's stream, I didn't have to constantly change the quality, tho. If there was a way in settings to set that you always wanted "auto, highest or lowest" quality, that'd be great.

Dec 9, 2024: Gave it another try after seeing reviews some things were improved. It's better. It didn't open blasting things in my face. The Following tab is very large and visible now. PIP works alright, and landscape mode can have chat to the side (you need tap some icon to see the full frame next to chat). Still would rather I had an option for it to open to the last tab I was viewing (Following). Still not interested in this new discovery tab *most* of the time. It's much less bad!
