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.

I have been having horrible white noise static issues when streaming. This never use to happen before. Its very annoying cause i went to twitch about the issue.. im told they cant help go to Microsoft.. i had all new equipment. I sent both my xbox and my head phones to Microsoft to look at them. No issues in either of those things. The issue is not my internet ad it wasnt happing before. Let Microsoft know the issue was still there and i was just ignored. Went back to twitch... just to tell them i think they need to work with Microsoft to come up with a hot fix or something cause some where theres a connection issue.. Twitch again told me they couldnt help yet again.... I have done every troubleshooting step under the sun.. idk how to go aboit this anymore..

The new “App” is just a web page disguised as an app that is barely usable. Performance is horrible, navigation is awful (scroll position will be reset after each goBack), you can’t even sort channels properly. There is absolutely nothing better about this compared to the old version. I guess having a shared codebase for all console apps was more important than the actual user experience.

I just saw that Microsoft added experimental support for extensions for WebView2. That could mean that Edge on Xbox will support extensions in the future. Which could mean support for BetterTTV and Adblock. If Twitch won't update their app experience I will switch to the browser experience. It might be slower, but it's going to deliver better features than the app.
Twitch, step up your game!

I found a work around! Instead of using the Twitch App, go to the Microsoft Edge app on your Xbox. Type in Twitch.tv in the web browser, sign in with your twitch account and your good! Not only is the UI better but you can chat/use emotes.

I still think this needs to happen and people should be able to still chat. This new version update is bad and no one should be forced to use a pc or mobile device just to be able to chat

This new update for Twitch has made it unstreamable for me, my internet sat at just the right right bitrate when I could edit the specifics now it just blurs in low or high resolution. I even bought a Series X to have a better streaming & all round gaming experience but this app update has absolutely ruined any hopes of having a good stream.
REVERT IT TWITCH! NOBODY WANTS YOUR NEW UPDATE -NOBODY 😤🤬

This update is terrible! I can't even view chat let alone participate. So much for freeing up my phone for other things. Please revert this trash!

You guys going to fix this and revert it back or not!? This update was totally trash, finally annoyed enough to come here and see people reporting this for months... why you even pay someone to make the app worse and not pay anyone to actually... you know... test it before you pat yourselves on the back and move on.

Raids don’t transfer to next channel, no chat, when you exit a stream I takes you ALL the way to the first channel and you gotta scroll all the way over to where you left off, crashes often, and it makes me **** my pants from utter misery. Revert it back

Who ever made this update should be fired. How do you take a decent working app and turn it to complete ****. The current Xbox app fails on too many levels to even mention. Just go back to working version, this new version is completely unusable

Why is this still not reverted. Why do we have to vote like it’s our opinion that it’s bad. It’s no opinion, but fact. I don’t understand why having it be “viewer only experience” was thought of as a good idea. I know they’ll probably never revert it, but maybe one of them will use twitch on Xbox and realize how bad it is.

The biggest thing for me is how annoying it is to chat. We have to use a phone to chat when ee used to be able to use a keyboard or a controller eith the keypad on screen They pretty much removed the chat and its so inconvenient. Companies shouldn't change things if its not broken, guys

The xbox app won't show chat most of the time and it will not go full screen. Also why cant we chat with the xbox like before the last big update ? I have to use another device to chat if i am watching on my xbox why ?

It was working fine the other day and now POOF I can't even open the streams chat OR change the video quality. If I press the A button twice fast enough I can open the chat, but the Video Quality setting is random with it opening.

I can’t even watch some streams since every time I make a left, right, up, or down movement on my controller it jumps two spots. I get so frustrated I open up Facebook Gaming on Edge to watch something else. FACEBOOK GAMING

The updated app on Xbox series X is far worse than before. Namely, the inability to comment in chat without the mobile app. But also massive stream delays and overall clunkiness. Please fix the Xbox app.
