The mobile app really sucks at the moment if I’m being honest but I fell like the problems can be fixed. One thing is the chat and stream and how all that work. I don’t know if this is just me but the chat it about 10 seconds ahead of the stream for some reason. I always see chat answers questions the streamer asked like 10 seconds before they asked them and it makes chat pretty useless in mobile. Another thing that’s bad on mobile is the twitch predictions. I’m having a lot of fun betting on different things in channels I watch but on mobile you legit can’t bet high amounts. You can get to like 1k in a minute because on mobile you have to spam click add 10. Please just and the custom amounts on mobile too just like you have it on pc.

When watching vods or clips on the horizontal mobile player, tapping to bring up controls makes the follow, notification, and sub buttons pop up. WHY??

When you're watching live it's not a huge deal because you don't need to use the seek bar. But watching a vod or clip, it's insanely annoying having those buttons take up a third of the screen every time you want to go back a few seconds. If I'm watching a vod from a channel I've been subbed to for a year, why I would want the option to unsub and unfollow them popping up every time I want to go to a different part of the vod?

I don't think anyone would miss it if you made it so that group just never showed up in the horizontal viewer. It'd make watching vods a lot nicer. I would love it if this was changed.

Also, related to that, the areas you can tap to activate the skip back and skip forward buttons are really small. If I want to go back more than ten seconds, 70% of the time I will end up opening or closing chat. The fact that the channel info bar moves everything up a half inch doesn't help. The detection areas for those being bigger, or the chat being toggled with a horizontal swipe could be helpful.

I don't know if this is an oversight on Twitch's behalf, but you must realise that the text size on your apps is tiny. It's too small to be used comfortably by some users.

For many people either with bad eyesight or using their phones and tables to keep up with chat whilst streaming they have to put up with this tiny text that gets in the way of the enjoyment of streaming.

I, amongst others plead with you Twitch, please put larger font sizes in chat for those that need them. Be inclusive to those with less than perfect eyesight. It should be an easy inclusion for you and it would be a well welcomed feature within the community for those that this issue blights.

Please consider adding this feature to the mobile apps. You will make a lot of people happy and be more inclusive to a group of people that are struggling with your current font size.

Thank you for reading my suggestion, I look forwards to your hopefully positive response.

Hello!

The basic idea here is to have the ability to use emotes for channels that you are subscribed to across other platforms (text, social media, etc). This has a multiple benefits:

• It allows subscribers to get more usage out of their Subscriber emotes outside of just the Twitch platform, which doubles as a really cool subscriber perk
• It gives a two-fold discoverability opportunity for the streamer; one by word of mouth (whoa, where'd you get that emote!?), and one by the ability to view emotes through eBoard, encouraging you to check out a streamer you like the emotes for
• Streamers can of course use their own emotes to 'advertise' themselves (in the word of mouth example described above) and on their Social Media postings
• A simplified method of managing your subscriptions to channels via this app since you'll be able to see them, and potentially renew, cancel, etc.
• It naturally advertises Twitch to audiences that may not already be aware of it since this is the digital age and everyone uses emotes in their communications

Of course, when your subscription runs out, you lose the ability to use those emotes, and resubbing enables them again. For Bit Emotes, once you've unlocked the emote tier, I don't see why you wouldn't always have that emote available to you for use via eBoard.

Let me know your thoughts! :) <(Is wishing I could use my emote)

I would love to see an app designed for moderators in mind.

I'm constantly on the go and using my android phone or iPad to output a wifi signal for my laptop to moderate a chat. Having to do this makes the stream laggy and catching the bot or people that need to be looked at hard since alot of mobile hotspots are not that great at all.

I use the browser rather than the streaming app for moderation because moderating on the existing app is either non-existent or horrible.

Having a dedicated app, web app, or even moderator view in the existing app would be awesome and beneficial to both the creator and moderators. I should be able to have all of my options as I do in the web browser, be able to tab not hold down on the person in question and view what was said in the chat, move between channels that I moderate within a menu, view the stream and chat at the same time or just have an audio option to listen to the stream while watching the chat, etc.

Moderators do a lot for creators behind the scenes of the stream and having this will not only make mods lives easier, it will make creators lives easier too.
