Fix PlayStation 3 Twitch app
Not really a new idea, but it's one that's been going for close to 2 years already. When Twitch revamped it's site to be functional only through Javascript, the PS4 app got an update to fix that problem after a few months of being broken, however the PS3 app was left in the dust... I went over this for weeks with Twitch reps & got an unsatisfactory response stating that they were choosing not to fix it. I replied to that response stating that I had a petition started to show others that wanted it fixed, it was stated to me that I would need to direct that petition to these boards to have it considered. I decided to wait until I had at least 100 signatures before I would supply it as support towards getting the issue fixed. As of 2 days ago, that petition now has 100 digital signatures (expected to continue rising as the app continues to remain broken) & can be found at https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/fix-the-ps3-twitchtv-app . Additionally, I have this petition linked off of my own channel in a rather large list of public suggestions meant to be directed at Twitch developers, as well as on my Twitch blog on Blogspot (also linked off of my own channel & through a !blog chat command with StreamElements).

Due to the age of the consoles, it has become increasingly difficult for us to maintain the Twitch App for PS3. Unfortunately, we can no longer actively support it as a result. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Thank you so much for your support and use of our apps during this time.

They discontinued the PS3 app (actually removing it from the PSN store this time), XBOX 360 is in the same era as the PS3, they seem to only be concerned that the PS4 & XBOX One apps are currently functional, so while I can't confirm it, I expect it's in the same shape as the PS3 app... They did fix the PS3 app shortly after I submitted the petition here, but it got broken again if you were logged into an account only a few months after being fixed again.
I did find a way to restore functionality to it & redownload the PS3 app despite it being removed from the PSN store, but there's no personalization or reporting seeing as you have to remain logged out to retain functionality, being logged into an account is what causes the "Oops! Something wrong happened" error. I have screenshots & details about this on my Twitch blog not only about the error & it's discontinuation, but also how to restore anonymous functionality to it (provided you don't log into an account, this at least still seems to work; it appears what is broken is pulling of account data on older consoles, this seems to have been intentional).

can we also get confirmation if there is any support for the xb360 twitch app as well?
