Several areas could be benefit from having a Refresh button, but there are none to be found in the Android app. Currently refreshing even the simplest page usually requires a tedious amount of loading different pages and returning to the original page / stream (or force closing the app and killing the process). The two mentioned below are the most pressing.

- The "following" page will contain multiple offline stream and often will not be refreshed to see new streams. A "force refresh" button / menu item could solve this.

- The actual stream page will not refresh when a stream goes offline and returns online, either due to network issues or changing streams (e.g. going offline to change games). A "force refresh" button / menu item could solve this.

Hey Twitch,

I would report this directly to the iOS developers at Twitch but I don't know of an appropriate e-mail or other forum other than this sub-reddit.

I'm annoyed of this particular screen timeout locking issue.

I sometimes watch Twitch on my iPad before falling asleep at night, on occasion I fall asleep while watching.

In the morning, I find my iPad with it's screen still on with what used to be 'Streamer is offline' dialog alert in-front of the chat window holding a lock on the screen preventing the screen from turning off. This was fixed a while ago, but now the screen mentioning that the streamer is offline on black background is there with chat still open.

I know the iPad screen has been on all night since the battery is almost dead when I wake up with the screen still on.

Please don't let the 'streamer is offline' view with chat open hold a lock on the display from turning off. Please let iPad sleep properly (let the display turn off) when a streamer is offline.

This bug is probably also visible on the iPhone I bet too however I haven't tested.

Reproduced this last night using your latest client available on the App Store.

1. When i watch last broadcast on twitch app apk and exit from app but dont close it. and when i return to app i cant continue watch my video because its starting from beggining or drop me to main page or ur twitch app.
2. Ur app have no bookmarks to videos. If i wanna find video which i watch yesterday or for example week ago i should remember this video name and timecode and go to streamer-->last broadcast-->and search search search search this video slide slide slide. Why u cant add to this app for example tab like 'last broadcasts which user watch' or 'history of last watched user broadcast' then i can open it and find video of streamer i have watch very fast!
3. If i watch last broadcasts of streamer i cant watch what peoples which watch this stream too whote in chat like this

i talk about last broadcast chat not about now streaming chat because its okay with now streaming chat.
4. i cant find video using url from computer. can u add this opportunity to search ? that i paste url to search on app and coud find my video?
5. i cant copy url video from ur twitch android app.
This things make ur app on Android (i think on IOS and Windows Phone too) VERY SUPER uncomfortable!

Basically there is a pretty big problem with the mobile app and Twitch Chat: It wastes a lot of data, and a lot of battery. In big channels, specifically Esports events, there can be upwards of 100,000 people in the stream and there are hundreds of chat messages every second. This is where the problem lies, it eats your battery and you can say bye to your data.

My proposed change is to simply add a new mode that can be found in the viewing settings that allows you to just have the video fullscreen all the time (like it is in Landscape mode) where chat does not get loaded.
