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.

Used the Xbox app very regularly to do a few things;
Watch VODs: This update removed the 'Continue Watching' feature and the ability to go back further than the most recent 10 or so. Also removed the fast forward and rewind hotkeys so the relevant buttons on the Xbox remote control are useless and I have to navigate around the options one by one.
Quality check my own content: This update removed the button to quickly visit your own profile, meaning I have to search for myself every time, despite being logged in. It also removed the hotkey to search, meaning I have to leapfrog my way up to the search button.
Can people please comment here if it does get reverted? Uninstalling until then.

The fact that when you click anything on a stream or on your control and it reverts you back to the main hub area makes me want to never use this app again. When trying to change quality settings it doesn’t pop up and I have to click my control a million times for it to pop up. This is the worst update any game or app has ever made in history. Completely unacceptable

Agreed, the new update is absolute dogshit. I've had to login over 5 times in the past few months, why? I now get told that I would rather watch a streamer with 5 viewers and the one I actually want to watch is hidden somewhere although they have many more viewers and should be near the top making it easier to find. Seriously, what in the actual **** was anyone at Twitch thinking? Only answer is that they weren't thinking because this is so ******* dumb. Let me ******* sort by viewers high to low. Your ******* algorithm is dogshit Twitch.

Single handedly this update KILLED the twitch app. Cannot chat. Cannot see cursor. Cannot search. Cannot watch vods. Cannot follow easily. Cannot sub. It is insulting that it still hasn’t been reverted back to the previous app that actually functioned, let alone TESTED and APPROVED and RELEASED. Pathetic. You should be ashamed of yourselves, and whatever margins you have saved by applying this farce of an app. I hope you choke on that money

Lol i'd say give it a year or 2 and youtube is going to become the dominant streaming service. the funny thing is an app called youtube, created to upload VIDEOS surpasses an app created for LIVE STREAMING. Many popular streamers have moved to youtube. Pewdiepie, Ludwig, Sykkuno and many more to come. youtube has a greater revenue split and a greater ui than the current build of twitch. funny how adin ross left twitch, appearently kai cenat is too (LEGIT THE #1 STREAMER XD), and also the moderation is horrendous. a girl who is legit having some *********** on stream gets a tiny ban when Jidion who says the tiniest stuff to her X girlfriend (pokimane) gets perma banned and when he sorted it out with her, he is still banned. obviously biased. i think the twitch staff are just there for looks as they don't actually respond to reviews, they don't try to make the app better, they just sit around and type in popular streamers chat. honestly get a grip twitch.

LOL THIS NEW UPDATE FOR PS5/XBOX IS SO HORRIBLE XD. ISTG THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY TESTED THIS MUSTVE BEEN HELD AT GUNPOINT TO APPROVE OF THIS NONSENSE. 382 VOTES AS OF NOW, GO TO r/twitch AND SEARCH XBOX AND EVERY SINGLE POST IS ABOUT THIS. DONT YOU THINK IF THEY ACTUALLY CARED ABOUT US CONSUMERS THEY WOULDVE FIXED IT?? SOURCES SAY 7% OF VIEWERS ARE CONSOLE... SO UR BASICALLY SCREWING OVER MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO JUST WANT TO WATCH THEIR FAVOURITE STREAMERS AND CHAT TO THEM OR THEIR FRIENDS? THE UI LOOKS LIKE A MOBILE GAME. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!

The twitch app was way better before the update. I was able to chat with streamers, preview streams while hovering over them, and there was less stream delay. It was very frustrating and still is to open the app and be unable to communicate with streamers. Please undo the new update and go back to the old version!!!

I really hope they revert it- my xbox series is now more delayed than mobile when it used to be at the same pace as the website/desktop. Since there is no chat, I can’t be listed in the viewers list either without being on mobile. To make things worse, I can’t even change my resolution anymore? Some streamers that I follow won’t even show up under the live channels section, i’ll have to go to following???

Yeah the app is unusable now, I uninstalled it. Might reinstall if it gets fixed. Mainly not having chat on VODs and no continue watching are the main problems to me.

Why does the phone app have more functionality than a console and TV app?

I immediately went back on my ps4 and use the twitch app just fine. Hopefully Twitch leaves that app alone. Another big BIG issue with the Xbox Twitch app is there is no longer a quick link for our own channel. If I want to view my channel I have to search my channel name and view it that way. Then I'm, treated like a guest. It's so bad for that and the other reasons listed. Not having chat available and the limited VOD's I can access is just wrong. I don't want to view on a small-screen phone. I want to view on my HDTV!!! Period.

Nothing has improved for months, but I have noticed a new issue: if I'm watching a stream that decides to raid another streamer at the end, I am no longer sent to the new stream.

The new update is missing SO MANY FEATURES and is horribly designed. This is affecting Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, PlayStation, Xbox and possibly other apps.
