1 ★ Advertisement simulator. I've never seen so many ads at 1 time for anything in my entire life. Click channel, 1 to 4 ads. After ads seconds to a few mins later between 1 to 5 play again. I mean it's not even good content or commercials. Uber eats commercial has a guy eating scotch tape. Sickening. EDIT 10-24-22 the ads have got worse and they are loud af. I mean deliberately so loud it's distorted. Twitch is slowing becoming the worst streaming platform. Edit-11-30-23 Home page static ads. Ewwww

1 ★ After recent update, unable to stream on phone. Not even a second live streaming. Phone goes offline. Previously it allowed me about 30inutes streaming IRL on my phone, now, it doesn't work. Terrible app. Streaming shows smaller video and now as you update the app, there's a huge ad that you see before anything else. It's as bad as other aps with ads that pop up when you open it.

1 ★ The latest update has completely broken the app for me. Despite uninstalling and reinstalling it won't load anything besides the shell of the UI (and uninstalling made it so I can't log back in or reset password). This was especially fun considering I couldn't use my phone to monitor a stream a friend and I did so we didn't know that Twitch Studio crashed halfway through until we were done.

1 ★ Couldn't even sign in. They apparently don't have the function to sign in using an email account. Chose to recieve an email to help log in (since I hadn't used Twitch in a while (and couldn't remember my exact username), and never used the mobile app before), and it never even sent. Tried the Sign Up option to see if it had the feature to sign you in if the inputted email account already had a Twitch account, and it wouldn't let me proceed because I apparently had a common password.

3 ★ The app is decent, but needs some work. Clipping on mobile is broken, and has been for a while. The quality selector is also broken, and it doesn't always obey your selection especially if the phone's connection is shaky for a few moments. If a stream is sent to PiP and returned, sometimes 360p is all that is available. Please fix! Also, they've started increasing the amount of ads in this app, including a new ad which appears front and top upon opening the app. Less ads make ad quality better.

1 ★ This app has been TERRIBLE for years. TWITCH KNOWS that it's been screwed up for YEARS, and still haven't fixed it. When you complain they send you the same form letter they send everyone, "we're working on it" AND THEY AREN'T. When you scroll through the streams and push to hard, the stream plays and you can't close it, you click another stream and you can't close that one either. When you close the app and open it again, THE OLD STREAM IS STILL UP AND YOU CAN'T CLOSE IT. RESTART YOUR PHONE !!

1 ★ When opening a clips.twitch.tv link (like from discord), it opens the app and plays the clip the first time, but subsequent opens only open the app and do not play the clip. I have to force quit twitch app on order to play the clip again. After the clip finishes, it tries to autoplay the next clip instead of replaying (like tt, reels, yt shorts, etc), but 99% of the time I want to replay the clip.

1 ★ I enjoy it when I can catch my favorite steamer, but most times, I don't. And every time the stream I missed that's been uploaded ALWAYS has an issue with the audio, I don't know why. I'll try to watch it, and the audio just cuts out, and I have to skip parts of the video to finally hear something again. It's been happening for too long, and this app isn't worth keeping since the issue hasn't been resolved. Doesn't help that when I'm not getting a notification most times either.

1 ★ Was not even able to sign in. Only gave me the option to sign up. I put my user name and password in thinking it would recognize I already had an account, but it didn't. I installed then uninstalled three times, still the same thing. I don't understand this, I used this app on iPhone and it always worked great. Very frustrating!

3 ★ Please remove the "channels recommended for you" on the home page, and give an option to delete videos from "continue watching." If I wanted to browse channels I'd go to that tab. I just want the channels I follow to be easy to locate instead of all the way down. I hate having to scroll through garbage recommendations before I get to them.

1 ★ Streams will randomly stop playing, sometimes just the audio stops, sometimes it limits the resolution to 360p for no reason, the live channels list doubles itself sometimes and sometimes cuts out some channels, and more issues are present I'm sure but instead of fixing them they add random useless features like stories that get in the way...

1 ★ The lack of basic support for Chromecast functionality (notification controls never work, it never saves my spot in the video when it closes out, which is does faster than other apps, closed captions don't carry over consistently) makes this app functionally a stopgap until the videos I'm looking for come out on YouTube anyway. Suggested channels are almost always CRAZY sexual "barely legal" women posing and all I've ever watched is ttrpgs and woodworking, and I am a gay man. Why.

1 ★ I have no way to leave feedback except here. The decision to add "Recently featured clips" to the top of the app as soon as you open it is one of the worst UI changes to the app to date. Who's amazing idea was to have old content take up half of the screen, in front of the new/live content as soon as you open the app?Whoever it is, I genuinely hope someone tells them they are a terrible decision maker, and need to reevaluate what they consider a proper UI.

1 ★ I think this is a pretty good app, but the new update with the "recently featured clips" is terrible. It takes up more than half the screen, there is no option to turn it off, and it's above the live channels! Horrible design. At least put it at the bottom of the app after I see who's live or let me turn it off. Will change my review after this is fixed.

3 ★ The newest 'app optimization' is a Recent Clip item at the top of the Following page that takes up more than half the screen on mobile devices. The three button menu next to the clip doesn't function at all, so you can't even dismiss the clip. The Following page is where people go to see who is currently live on their list, first and foremost. Effectively hiding those channels by putting a huge recent clip at the top half of the screen is poor UI design and makes the Following tab useless.
