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.

Absolutely awful experience on Xbox now. You can’t swap chat/full screen view with “X” now and can’t see chat while an Ad is playing. The go back button always closes the stream out. No filters for browsing. Changing stream quality works half the time. The overall experience feels much worse and clunky.
The removal of chatting from console is absolutely atrocious. If I wanted to watch on mobile I would just watch on mobile. Add back console chat functionality, stop shoving mobile down our throats.

The new ps5 update is so weird first of all you say it should be a “viewer-only" experience but the mobile app shows alot more content (vods-playlist etc..) and one of the most important things to view is chat even if you don’t interact with it and only read it still is a big part of being in a vod,Also the past version was so bad design wise and personally i like the new design and appreciate that the player is alot more flexible in skipping and rewinding but if you want to skip to an exact part you will stop 2 hours ahead its just too fast also the ps5 remote control play rewind and forward buttons are literally useless in the app now and you could only interact using the right left and ok buttons, The app seems a bit smother but of course everything is comparing to the older versions, the streamers page is organised oddly for example “recent broadcasts” and “all videos” is literally the same thing i really hate that it shows only a certain number (12) of vods despite number of vods the streamer put in a playlist, the chat was never right before emotes lagging gif emotes freezing deleted messages show for an instant in vods instead of not showing at all, design is good organising isn’t the limiting is painful media player is smother fix controls for ps5 remote control ,also we need “continue watching” back.

I share the same problems/ frustrations on PS5 latest Twitch update. This new version is horrible! The older version was not perfect but it was better than this new one. Scan QR CODE to chat and not being able to use your own console to type is ridiculous! Besides, VOD lives are not running well. I just can't watch them because the app refuses to load it. There is absolutely nothing good in this new version. You just have ruined console experience.

It is unusable. It freezes, shows no video half the time. Starts back at home if you exit a stream and want to watch another in your list. And it’s not just Xbox, Google tv is just as broken. Only iOS and the web are working. Beside that the app is almost unusable. Please fix this asap

This update is absolutely awful. So many functions taken away without any proper thought behind it. For example, if I wanted to watch and chat on my phone then I'd use my phone. To force anyone to do otherwise is the most idiotic thing I've ever heard of. Here's some of my basic issues:
- chat functions removed, now must be used with phone.
- remote functionallity non existent now, must use controller
- vod chat completely removed
- streaming from console functions taken out
- slow and clunky uiI'm sure there's more I'm missing but these are BIG things taken out for no reason. This is a ridiculous and pathetic update that no one asked for and wasn't needed, removing lots of important and basic functions of twitch. This is the one of the worst updates of anything I've ever seen. Please look into this as this is a pathetic attempt at an update

I'll start by saying ps5 update11.000.000(hope this is the update that's screwing over everyone.) has and will only be trash to any previous version of the app. 1. Has and continues to log me out of twitch even though I had linked an had given validation before this **** update, every time I'd start it up even after and had given its new validation with the update. I would be logged out an see that stupid sign in. I got so annoyed by this update and deleted thinking that I was watching on the ****** TV app over what was a great console app. To my surprise redownloading did bring back the better version of the app where I was still linked an was auto logged in like I had set it to. Seconds later after seeing it start up I saw that the **** update had started up in downloads. So to validate my suspicion I closed app and restarted app to see that **** version had came back with my number 1problem. I was again signed out an utterly disappointed that they believe this is a actual update A IMPROVEMENT over a gutting of a good app. 2. is even when logged in I can't see who I follow or subbed to I have to wait until live stream to see that who I follow is on. An I can only see that live stream not previous ones that were done within a 24 hours like I could before. 3. Is I feel or noticed that they have gutted some resolution settings an or block better res that I had access to before.

If nothing else, at least, give us a choice to use the older version or the newer version... this new version is absolutely unusable it forces you to use your phone. If I'm going to use my phone, I might as well just use the app on my phone. I use the old console app for a reason because I like it in the way it works on television, it was so simple and now you have this janky duct taped mess. It's literally the Frankenstein of all apps.

Please reverted back to the previous version. This new app is an absolute failure.. using QR code to try to enter chat? The application was perfectly fine. In this new application is basically meaning I'm never going to use the console app ever again.

I agree with that, I'm on Ps5 and it wax perfect for me to watch and type stuff with my controller, WHY?

It's incredible. In 27 years of my life, I've never seen a worse "update" than this one. Calling it an "update" is an offense to all developers. You have succeeded in a feat that no one would ever want to achieve: hindering any action that the user can afford. I hope you decide to return everything to the way it was before

This update is not good. I just started streaming via twitch on console, and it has just put my experience a step back. The UI feels like I’m on internet explorer I can’t stand it. It feels more Corporate now than personal since the update. They also removed the ability to visit your own channel. The profile setting just gives you options to sign in/out.. I used to be able to click on my profile and see my whole channel, vods, clips- now you have to literally search yourself in the search bar, and it doesn’t even bring you to “your” page, it’s just a cover page of what others see.. So much ease of access and accessibility, just ripped away after one update. Can’t chat anymore, half the time I do not want to be on my PC, and PREFER to type emotes on console (with my controller, not my phone) if I’m just hanging out and still want to interact. I don’t want to have to use my phone. I don’t USE my phone in general? It produces radiation, why would I want to have it open just to chat? I just don’t understand how an update ultimate downgraded something that didn’t need to be fixed in the first place. It also reset my entire audio settings for stream so just add that to the list of ******** we have to deal with. Twitch Staff/Amazon, from a small streamers perspective you have downgraded my experience with streaming, and using your App in general. Which is a shame because I use twitch more than any social media app. Y’all probably won’t even read this, just revert back.

It is so stupid that the conversation QR code on my XBox X and Xbox one S only enable chat on my phone.
I have a keyboard, I listen streamer troughout my sound system which it is optically cable.
Join conversation with QR code is so garbage, all the time the stream stop, I have to restart the stream and only chat from my phone... it us so inconvenient...
If I want to use twitch.tv on my phone , I ll Use my phone app,
Almost all the time , I only use my Xbox one s or Xbox X, that update is ******* me off,
Twitch app on Xbox should be like the android Twitch app
Otherwise, just revert to the old version
