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.

It’s crazy how so many of us are explaining the same frustration yet they tweet away with no update on console im sure other companies adjust to the voice of the public within few business days lol I’m convinced twitch doesn’t care about its users. Game developers are the best at hearing out their fans why because they add or take away what we like or don’t I know I’m ranting away but I have to they haven’t kept us updated on sh***

Not only on the Xbox but also on the ps5. This update literally made it worst. another thing the delay on it is horrible! Even on mobile is less delay. We aren’t asking for much but just a simple revert.

This update is absolutely terrible. How this was ever approved is beyond me. Please revert the app back to it's previous version.

I've used the twitch app on the xbox for almost 10 years now. 90% of my time spent on Twitch is thru the Xbox. This update is impossibly bad. i just cant imagine how this was tested and seemed like a good idea.

I've been using the twitch app on my Xbox as something to fall asleep to or background noise for 5 years now, no complaints that were worth doing anything about. I turn it on, look for one of my subs doing something not so bright or loud and go to bed. Now I have blinding white backgrounds, no stream preview, pressing (B) during a stream takes me out of the category, allll the way back to the beginning of the list, I constantly accidently unsubscribe from channels, search doesn't bring up the keyboard half the time, and if you use search once sometimes (B) during a stream takes you back to search every time for some reason?? I feel really bad for the people who actually liked using the console twitch app to its full extent for streaming purposes, or VODs, or INTERACTING, or anything a user would like to be friendly and accessible. Whatever this is, it's not the twitch app. Leave this sad, underdeveloped, modified web page for devices that can't run applications, or better yet, move it to the failed projects folder and please give us the real twitch app back.

The update has made moving and switching between streams on Xbox more choppy, slow, and disorientating then it ever was before the update. There is now a noticeable delay on streams compared to PC and mobile versions of the app, and I can guarantee that the delay was practically nonexistent before the update. The ability to chat using the keyboard integrated into the Xbox UI was removed… why? You removed the ability to press X to close and open chat. How is removing accessibility like that an update? You can no longer effectively refresh the Live Follower Channels screen as well as you could before this recent update; refreshing the list by pressing A on “Home” does not truly refresh the page and update on who is live, nor does it update their thumbnail and view count, as it did before. Overall this update has truly shown to just simply make the Xbox app harder to use. The only “update” from this whole thing is that pressing the Xbox button no longer pauses the stream you’re watching. Please revert this recent update and bring back the previous version of Xbox for Twitch. Whoever updated the site likely never actually used the previous version a single time and just ended up making it clunkier.

Swear your just using us to farm ads

I started watching twitch 7-8 years ago. And I watch primarily on Xbox. This new setup will make me not want to. Please change back.

Seconding this on the ps5 version. I hate that the"we think you'll like" thing is there and they removed the continue watching section. The white boxes on everything is awful and I don't like that streams aren't playing at the top when I hover over them.
Video quality on all streams is the lowest possible until I manually tell it to go to the highest and pressing down on the d-pad or remote no longer hides the stream menu.
Awful update -

I'm using it on PS5. It's awfull. A lot of blocked stream. Can't chat. Viewers sum is unreadable. Their is just one cool trick. The cursor for viewing a replay that's all.
