Revert the twitch app update for xbox series
Change the app back to how it use to be on xbox series. It updated and it's horrible. Had to relog in. You have to scan a qr code to chat which is ridiculous. The categories are randomly scattered and in no order which you can't change. Categories and streams are surround by a blinding white box now and everything seems jumbled together. I swear a room full of 3 year Olds designed this new layout. NOTHING about it is better.

The twitch app was way better before the update. I was able to chat with streamers, preview streams while hovering over them, and there was less stream delay. It was very frustrating and still is to open the app and be unable to communicate with streamers. Please undo the new update and go back to the old version!!!

I really hope they revert it- my xbox series is now more delayed than mobile when it used to be at the same pace as the website/desktop. Since there is no chat, I can’t be listed in the viewers list either without being on mobile. To make things worse, I can’t even change my resolution anymore? Some streamers that I follow won’t even show up under the live channels section, i’ll have to go to following???

Yeah the app is unusable now, I uninstalled it. Might reinstall if it gets fixed. Mainly not having chat on VODs and no continue watching are the main problems to me.

Why does the phone app have more functionality than a console and TV app?

I immediately went back on my ps4 and use the twitch app just fine. Hopefully Twitch leaves that app alone. Another big BIG issue with the Xbox Twitch app is there is no longer a quick link for our own channel. If I want to view my channel I have to search my channel name and view it that way. Then I'm, treated like a guest. It's so bad for that and the other reasons listed. Not having chat available and the limited VOD's I can access is just wrong. I don't want to view on a small-screen phone. I want to view on my HDTV!!! Period.

Nothing has improved for months, but I have noticed a new issue: if I'm watching a stream that decides to raid another streamer at the end, I am no longer sent to the new stream.

The new update is missing SO MANY FEATURES and is horribly designed. This is affecting Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, PlayStation, Xbox and possibly other apps.

Here we go again...fixing things that aren't broken. Perfectly working app that i use everyday over the movie streaming services i pay for and now i can't chat, can't stream or it crashes (series x btw), can't stay signed in. It signs me out every single time i close the app. This means that i'm basically forced to navigate their atrocious redesign of "categories" if you can even call it that. Constantly recommended content that i've never watched before like filthy hot tub streams with females half naked sucking on microphones. What the actual **** is wrong with Twitch. Who is making these decisions? Going to check out youtube live or maybe join the Tik Tok wave which i don't even own an account for. Huge loss from twitch but i honestly expect nothing less from a company that proved time and time again to neglect their community and show inconsistencies in their moderation of content. What a joke.

not been able to change resolution means that it is unwatchable for me as i have limited bandwidth. might just leave twitch all together as critical role is the only stream i watch live now. and they also stream on youtube. i bet this update was intentionally bad to drive people way from apps, and back to browser based viewing. then they can cancel the apps like they did the desk to one.

Maybe using our internet app and Just using the website would fix the dumb issues that arrived with the new update

Makes me mad they’re on Twitter replying to certain things on twitch support but one of the biggest complaints gets completely ignored been months by now.. and I don’t see any care to bring back the ability to chat on console!!! We had controls to type for the app on ps/xbox we have our phones to type on the mobile app but now… now we need our phones to type on ps/Xbox app like it’s literally backwards it’s really not innovative it’s just plain stupid!!

Please at least revert! (Xbox user)
The new delay by itself is disruptive enough to warrant a change. I'll say something in chat (via mobile) and by the time the streamer reads it in real time, they have already moved on, and I look silly.
The UI, as many have already pointed out, is needlessly aggravating. What is even the point of the 'view all' option? B not only brings you all the way back, but now even backing out is delayed by a few seconds - whereas before when it was instantaneous.
There are several other issues but they have been pointed out already and, frankly, there are too many to go over in depth.
I can see making mistakes or whatever, so I'm not really upset at devs or workers like others here. But to whoever is pulling the strings: please try again or revert to the previous! It truly is an annoying experience.
