Great app, one new feature it would really benefit from is a setting to play on WiFi only, got my allowance burned a few times when forgetting to switch WiFi back on at home.

D70%
by D####:

Love the ability to skip ads and quickly load streams, but I wish it had more chat functionality (emoticon list, mentions, maybe even BTTV/Frankerz support).

A70%
by A####:

Why there is no 1080p quality option? This is huge flaw

H70%
by H####:

I want to be able to use a higher resolution for streams. It only shows 720p as an option.

J70%
by J####:

It's a great app that is way better then twitch itself but it doesn't let you search a channel once the person is offline and that you could only watch it when it is out.

D70%
by D####:

cant select quality options. dont see controls. is missing a feedback button you cant preset to start in a game by default performance is good

D70%
by D####:

With twitch's recent ui disaster this is the best streaming option.

D70%
by D####:

Great for just watching streams and chatting. Sometimes stream just stops until you reload the stream.

N70%
by N####:

Much better than the official twitch app, would give it 5 stars if you could connect to a Google Chromecast

V70%
by V####:

Very basic no-nonsense twitch stream viewer. Lean and mean would sum up this app perfectly.

D70%
by D####:

I can't log in to my account. CAPTCHA is not displayed, so I can't prove that I'm not a robot.

H70%
by H####:

App is fixed! Fast response from devs thanks guys I love this app more than any other.

D70%
by D####:

Perfect twitch app. But please adding keyword searching of games instead of scrolling heaps to find your game to watch

T70%
by T####:

For the past two days it has stoped working on all my devises never had any problems before what happened...EDIT... Working again . Thank you.EDIT. AGAIN ..great app works well . However the past few days on android 4.2.2 not working . I use my older tablet quite often , please look into it to fix it. Thank You..ps its a great app.

D70%
by D####:

Fixed the resolution problem, I can change it except on fixed broadcast. I like Twitch but it takes up too much space, this is PERFECT!!!

F70%
by F####:

Not all the resolutions show up all the time sometimes you only get the source option wish most tines is 720p at 60fps wish my phone doesn't support 60fps a hot fix would be great I normally watch streams at 360p wish doesn't always so up either I don't really care about resolution but when your phone doesn't support it/them it really gets annoying again a hot fix would be really appreciated.

S70%
by S####:

This is totally brilliant! I can easily watch steams smooth and easy. Though, it has a few downsides, I don't even mind them.

D70%
by D####:

Knorre, you're the best. Whenever twitch changes their API, you're always quick to update your app. Keep up the great work, and we appreciate you very much!!!

D70%
by D####:

The recommended tab is failing to load stream list. You'll have to manually search for streams if you want to view new streams. Edit: thanks for the fix. It's great again!

X70%
by X####:

Bro this app is 10x better then the official one just fix it so I can change my review. Chat doesn't work/ load on Samsung s4

D70%
by D####:

Simply does not work. Search terms are inactive. Even after loading your account it doesn't access anything. An intrusive waste of time

D70%
by D####:

Sometimes missing video options (1080p), no description of the game being played in followed lists, and occasionally the stream will just stop playing for no reason. But a nice touch not asking for permissions an app like this doesn't need. If it wasn't for the streams randomly pausing it'd be a bit better than the official app for removing the obnoxious ads despite its other problems.

J70%
by J####:

Minimalistic, no ads and no account needed The only issue that I have is that the video won't go into full screen.. there will always be black borders to the right-hand side and to the top of the screen which is quite annoying. Huawei Ascend P7

by D####:

Searching for streams brings up very few results. This twitch player can view streams, but not previous streams from any channels, only streams that are happening in realtime, from what it appears, which sucks. These 2 things about the app is what repulses me from using this more.

D70%
by D####:

This app is extremely quick. Compared to the regular Twitch app, I can open the app and get to a desired stream way faster. The downside to this app is that it doesn't allow you to view people's channels or VODs. So, if you search for someone that's offline, their channel won't appear. The chat doesn't recognize a lot of emotes either, so just the text appears in their place. But if you're looking to watch streams fast and easily, this is the app for you.
