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.

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

Massive stream delay and no chat. Fix the app immediately. Won't be asking again.

Pleaseeeeee go back to the old twitch app for Xbox series x. This new app is so horrible, I’m at the point of not watching it no more. This was an update no one wanted.

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.

I agree that the recent update to the Xbox Twitch app has made the user experience much, much worse here in February 2023.
In addition to the previous complaints, I would also like to add having to choose "View All" while scrolling through to the halfway mark of my followed live channels is annoying the first time, but having to do it every single time I hit the back button to navigate away from the channel I was viewing is absolutely ridiculous. Along those same lines, let's say 50 of my followed channels are currently online, and I was just viewing channel number 37 in that list. If I back out of that channel, please keep track of where I was, and don't automatically restart me at channel number 1 every time.

Ive commented probably 3 times now but the truth of the problem is if you gave chat back most of us wouldnt even be here asking for a revert. We really just want to be able to communicate with our streamers.
