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

Version 21.4 is worth an uninstall. Notifications for live streams are typically 1 to 4 hours late. A random stream AutoPlays on launch. "Stories" buttons pop up as you tap the following button. The stream you are watching will randomly change when it shouldn't. Chat messages often do not get sent. The only reliable thing is buying bits and subs. Using bits is not reliable. Using channel points is reliable. It priotizes vertical mode in an ecosystem of horizontal videos.

The app became unusable after the latest update. I've been around the block and have seen uncountable horrific user interfaces, but this is one of the worst. Actively hostile to anything I ever want to do, if Twitch is trying to get rid of mobile viewing and interaction they are doing great. If they want me as a viewer, it's too late... the "UI" gouged my eyes out of my skull and stomped on them with hobnail boots. Absolutely terrible.

The new UI is a special type of terrible. The new front page is awful. It gives recommendations that I don't want. Now the following list (the streamers I actually care about) is hidden away behind a button, while the home page is eaten up by random streamers I don't care about. At the very least, make the following page the default when opening the app.
