Console app update today needs urgent attention !
About 4 hours ago(20th Nov 2023) the twitch app on the PS4 received an update. To say it is a backwards step in development is an understatement. the UI is offensive on the eyes (e.g. channels on the main screen have a glaring white box when they are highlighted, the menu button are from the 90s, to name a couple), things are no longer sorted into a logical order, and the best one, you are no longer able to type in chat without scanning a QR code on a separate device and utilising that to interact in chat.
For a platform that is supposed to be interactive and user friendly this is a glaring affront to that. I am unsure why you would want to take away features, this seems to be a rather odd design decision.
The UI needs to be altered to something which does not offend the eyes.
The ability to use chat needs to be restored.
Simple organisation needs to be addressed.
I am sure there is more that I could mention but overall this update is atrocious.

All of this is completely accurate. The old version wasn't perfect, but it was usable. The new version is completely unusable.
