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.

Honteux la deniere mise à jours de Twitch sur la ps5 on peu meme plus voir le tchat et tchater avec ça communautés en plus les message apparaissent et disparaissent au bout de 5 seconde . Svp remettais ancienne version avec encadrement ou faite une mise à jours qu’on puisse au moins voir le tchat

Sur Playstation, c’est moins pire, au moins l’appli n’est pas complètement cassée avec des boutons qui ne arrêtent de fonctionner !

I hate having to turn my controller back on every 2 minutes. Additionally, using the app is a pain. Please don't let me suffer any longer.

Sur Playstation 4 et 5 aussi, c'est honteux.

Hello Twitch Administrator’s I am kindly requesting that you revert the update to before you completely destroyed the viewer experience or else someone (not me) will beat you with a pillow case full of bars of soap in your sleep. Thanks for your consideration!

I sincerely implore anybody who works at twitch and sees this to please make it a point to revert this update it's HORRIBLE I've used the app on console a lot over the years I'd say almost everyday to watch streams on my TV it's insanely bad now the interface is buggy slow unresponsive, uncomfortable and significantly worse to navigate than how it used to be everything
has basically been downgraded and cheapened for some reason now the streams not only force you to use a qr code to chat on your phone which is the least of its problems now VODS don't even have chat in them anymore and when you are watching live with chat open the picture is put in a far smaller size then it was before leaving borders on the top and bottom popular clips recent clips tab for channels is also gone switching from one stream to another makes me want to close the app everything makes the experience so much worse I wouldn't be so upset if the last version wasn't as good but it was it was miles better whoever made this update should be ashamed of the garbage they put out I can't understand the reasoning behind making something significantly worse on purpose other than to cut cost which is embarrassing -

You are all literally talking into the void, they know the App sucks now, they are trying to push people to the mobile app by making this app worse on console. They know exactly what they are doing. I stopped watching Twitch all together from this. All you can do is just stop watching. This app is literally 10 year backwards from what it was.

Literally everything about the new app version is worse on consoles. Twitch used to be my go-to app on PS4, but this is exactly the push I needed to catch up on my Netflix and Hulu lists, watch more YouTube streams, literally anything else not to deal with this horrible UI, lack of chat, lack of customization, and completely broken interface where going back from any stream or video or anything at all sends you all the way back to your home screen. Also, why does one of my buttons do actual nothing now, when it used to minimize or restore the chat window?

It's BEYOND criminal that this app hasn't been reverted to it's old, actually working state. Icons don't light up, it's not possible to full screen, terrible UI overall, unresponsive and dead, a small child could have designed a more intuitive interface, this is an insult to all UI designers on the planet. FIX IT.

So the way I have my Twitch setup normally is the stream is on my computer and on my TV for my partner. The Console version STILL has at a minimum of a 5 second delay, typically more so than the PC version.. The sound comes from the TV. It's so disorienting with how out of sync I am in streams and it honestly makes it difficult for me to mod when I'm modding for friends. Will this ever be rectified? The app used to work fine aside from the ads doubling up. Oh and raids not working? Really sucks.. I really wish the apps, both console and mobile had more support.
Edit.. A quick note that I can't even use the smart TV version of twitch. It lags out so bad that streams aren't watchable. My TV isn't that old and it worked fine before the update.

Update makes twitch unusable on my series x. Forcing me to use my phone and keep the chat screen open in my tv is enough for me to uninstall and find something else to watch...I'll be seeing that wet dog commercial in my dreams for years I'm sure.

I have been having horrible white noise static issues when streaming. This never use to happen before. Its very annoying cause i went to twitch about the issue.. im told they cant help go to Microsoft.. i had all new equipment. I sent both my xbox and my head phones to Microsoft to look at them. No issues in either of those things. The issue is not my internet ad it wasnt happing before. Let Microsoft know the issue was still there and i was just ignored. Went back to twitch... just to tell them i think they need to work with Microsoft to come up with a hot fix or something cause some where theres a connection issue.. Twitch again told me they couldnt help yet again.... I have done every troubleshooting step under the sun.. idk how to go aboit this anymore..

The new “App” is just a web page disguised as an app that is barely usable. Performance is horrible, navigation is awful (scroll position will be reset after each goBack), you can’t even sort channels properly. There is absolutely nothing better about this compared to the old version. I guess having a shared codebase for all console apps was more important than the actual user experience.

I just saw that Microsoft added experimental support for extensions for WebView2. That could mean that Edge on Xbox will support extensions in the future. Which could mean support for BetterTTV and Adblock. If Twitch won't update their app experience I will switch to the browser experience. It might be slower, but it's going to deliver better features than the app.
Twitch, step up your game!

I found a work around! Instead of using the Twitch App, go to the Microsoft Edge app on your Xbox. Type in Twitch.tv in the web browser, sign in with your twitch account and your good! Not only is the UI better but you can chat/use emotes.

I still think this needs to happen and people should be able to still chat. This new version update is bad and no one should be forced to use a pc or mobile device just to be able to chat

This new update for Twitch has made it unstreamable for me, my internet sat at just the right right bitrate when I could edit the specifics now it just blurs in low or high resolution. I even bought a Series X to have a better streaming & all round gaming experience but this app update has absolutely ruined any hopes of having a good stream.
REVERT IT TWITCH! NOBODY WANTS YOUR NEW UPDATE -NOBODY 😤🤬

This update is terrible! I can't even view chat let alone participate. So much for freeing up my phone for other things. Please revert this trash!

HomeNuts commented
You guys going to fix this and revert it back or not!? This update was totally trash, finally annoyed enough to come here and see people reporting this for months... why you even pay someone to make the app worse and not pay anyone to actually... you know... test it before you pat yourselves on the back and move on.
