5 ★ I love this app! There's only one thing I wish it had, and that's the ability to show me channels sorted by viewers--I love watching newer streamers, people with less viewers watching. It's tedious to have to scroll all the way to the end to find the people I want to see.
5 ★ Firstly, thank you very much for this application who changed my life. I am using it every day and I am enjoying it! It is way better than the official app that have fps drop on my smart tv, can you believe it for a company who make so much money??? Your app is great but there is few things you could do to make it even better, not a great deal to be honest. I am often using it for VODs, there is no chapter to jump directly to a specific game the streamer did stream, so if I wanna watch a game in particular I have to first check on the computer to jump to this specific time. Going forward or backward is a little bit tedious, this starts with +5 seconds / +30 then it goes really fast to hours, when I only want to skip an hour of the stream this is really difficult :/ Also there is no way to clip ^^ of course I understand those features might be difficult to incorporate and I can easily pass on those features because this app is way way more better than the official one... Just the way it incorporates the chat, emotes and gifs is a GAME CHANGER :D Sorry for my bad english as it is not my native tongue. I was wondering how do we support you because you deserve it?! Again thank you, this app is almost perfect, much love.
5 ★ After days struggling with the official Twitch App on my Xiaomi TV Box S (choppy streams and constant micro-stutters) i tried this APP and it's excellent. Streams are running like butter, nice chat options and overal great experience. Even, if you dont have issues with the official Twitch App, you should check at this one!
5 ★ Absolute best for Powerusers. Takes a bit of time to get used to the Controls like any Application that provides a wide range of Customization. I would love to have something similar as a Phone App if you ever get around for that. Amazing work!
5 ★ It's lean and fast; runs well even on my sub-par HiSense TV (can't do multistream, but that's 100% the TV I think). Watching using it does not count for things like Twitch Drops, but that's a minor setback and not worth reducing the rating of it. The consistent updates are a big plus as well, thank you for your hard work!
5 ★ Awesome Twitch app with a ridiculous amount of features. The UI takes a while to get used to (you can tell it was made by a programmer not a designer)- but the amount of things you can tweak with this app is absurdly awesome.
5 ★ Superb twitch app. The interface takes a bit to get used to, but the app is super fast and gives you all the control you could ever want or need for twitch. A++
4 ★ The overall UI could be improved, as well as language. Otherwise I really want channel points to be counted on this app apart from just being counted Twitch website if possible.
5 ★ Amazing twitch alternative for android tv. Made by someone who probably knows the community well. It has a lot of features the official app is lacking.
5 ★ Excellent app! Every stream works like a charm, all while keeping the footprint under 1 MB. Great job Felipe.
5 ★ The official twitch app gave me microstutters. This one runs flawlessely plus a lot of nice additions. Perfect for the TV!
5 ★ Amazing app, not as sleek as the other twitch but has wayyy more features. Just wish this also had the recommendations. Also NO ADS
3 ★ The UI is soooo bad, overall its a great app especially because of the chat integration, but the UI and navigation is god awful.
5 ★ Thank you. I can finally watch twitch on the TV again <3
5 ★ Work Super on Xiaomi TV!! THX
