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.

Can someone please change the app back as it was? It was perfect just like on the PlayStation. When I do want to watch Twitch. I watch it on my iPhone or PlayStation. I think Twitch on Nintendo Switch is better than the Xbox. You can’t chat and watch the stream at the same time no more. Please someone fix it!

These changes are so counterintuitive. I’m watching a stream and I hit the A button on my Xbox controller and it leaves the stream to go to the streamer’s profile. it used to just bring up the video menu / display text on the screen. You used to hit B to make the text disappear. Now it takes you out of the stream you’re watching. It’s so dumb and I hate it

What did you do to this app!?!? New UI requires more button presses to navigate, seemingly rows of random "you may like this"... What can't i even watch the full VOD archive and only the last 13 or so previous broadcasts?!?!?! Why take that away??? I pay and subscribe to a streamer I should able to watch all available content. And what's with the QR code to chat?!?? Why did you neuter the app like this?!?!....

You are heading in the right direction but **** are missing the nail. Your android app has been broken for almost a year now and every update has done nothing to stabilize it. Now same goes for the Xbox app. If I accidentally click "back" it should take me back to the streamers stream but you go.back to the hub. I can never change the quality correctly. Which is a huge issue. If I'm scrolling through my followed list and go.back you always start me at the beginning
It's a total mess. Worse so then it was in the past -

The update is bad. It used to be really smooth, now it’s a mess. Finding ways to be bad that I never even thought of. Not trying to be a **** but this really sucks.

There's now a ridiculous delay on the Xbox app. This delay wasn't present prior to the update. The Twitch app before was perfect, I loved using it. The most recent update is really terrible.

Also when you click on a category and search through different streamers, once you back out of said stream it takes you all the way back home and you have to search back to where you were.

Please revert this change. I want to be able to chat on console and I want to be able to see past chats in vods. I cant understand what benefit there was to taking this away from console users

The controls are terrible, the ui is terrible, pause doesnt work half the time, when watching a stream if i click the cog in the bottom right corner norhing happens so i cant change quality, no chat anymore, moved my followed channels from the home page to its own page, if i click B to go back, it takes me all the way back to the home screen… i genuinely find it hard to believe the terribleness of this ‘update’ is an accident, how can a multi billion dollar company be this incompetent?

Absolutely braindead change to the xbox app. Emotes don't display correctly - simple global emote smileys look stretched and bigger than the text. No native option to chat. Home page white border around selected stream thumbnail is awful. Most of the intuitive controls that worked previously are now nonfunctional. No reason to downgrade Xbox to this lesser version normally reserved for smart TVs. change it the **** back. Legitimately don't understand why UX ppl are so universally stupid in their decision making.

Please please. It use to be all I watched now I can’t watch anything or log in or even control anything normally. The absolute worst.

New Xbox app is just bad. Everything about it just feels like a downgrade. Required to use my phone now to chat, changing quality is a struggle (I have to click the cog multiple times until it registers) and the overall UI is just painful to look at. I'm just gonna use Microsoft Edge on my Xbox for Twitch until this is changed.

This update is the worst I have ever seen across all apps
- Xbox remote control (IR) doesn't work anymore !!
- categories aren't sorted by viewer count anymore
- can't chat without smartphone anymore
- when you scroll through categories, select something and go back, it now jumps to the beginning all the time and you have to scroll again. Before this was al least only sometimes the case -

I can’t see the chat 3/4 of the time and can’t even see the chat when I watch vods. And when it works you can’t even right on it. This update is the biggest downgrade I’ve ever seen.
