  1. Streams are shown in random order and it's really hard to skim through pages and pages of streams just to find the one that is currently the most viewed. I would like to sort them by view count.

  3. so I have this problem for over 1 year and I'm sure it's not from my end. The thing is when a streamer that I watch (any of them) decides to end their stream and raid someone else, I can't follow the raid train neither on the TV app (its an LG SmartTV) nor on the FireStick TV app. It just stops and I am left on the streamer's recent broascasts page. I would love to use twitch on tv more but this experience is kind of disruptive as I like to leave it on while I do chores around…

  4. The Apple TV app is now nearly useless because everything is sorted by recommendations instead of viewers, and there’s no way to change it like you can on other platforms. Until Twitch is able to make its recommendations actually be decent, change the default sort back to sorting by viewers.

    Ana responded

    Thank you for your report. We realize the recent experience with different apps, including Apple TV might be frustrating, and we do apologize for that. An underlying change in the technology used to power the Twitch TV application on Apple TV, Fire TV, Android TV, PS4, PS5, Xbox and Xbox Series X/S devices required us to rewrite those applications, resulting in reduced functionality and features. While our teams work toward improving the experience in the coming months, please continue sharing your feedback with us. Thanks for your understanding and patience.

  5. Make live chat available when watching VOD on Samsung TV, that can be done when watching someone broadcasting in real time, but when it comes to the VOD, the chat is not available.

  6. It's unwatchable. Audio skips constantly. Occasionally, it cleans itself up, but not always. I have had to use airplay from my laptop to mod. This is insane! zYou literally broke the app! What the ****?

  7. A recent change for your TV apps (I've tested it on LG/WebOS and Apple TV) when a stream ends it goes to a splash screen showing the stream has ended.

    In a recent previous version it would return to the home page showing live streams you follow and recommended streams. Now I have to click out every time a stream ends to see that list.

    Maybe a "best of both worlds" in which the splash screen saying "This stream has ended" returns to the main list after 30 seconds or so?

  8. You used to be able to chat via controller/remote control on the console and TV apps but now we have to use our phones to do so. Why tf do I have to use two devices at the same time (tv and phone) to have the full Twitch experience?

  9. I have no clue why you decided to remove it in the first place. What's the point of watching a VoD when the chatroom is over 1/3 of the Twitch experience!?

  10. I would like, and I think not only I, what for viewing began to pay a money. Not only requiring payment translations, and and payment for those who looks. Similarly it would be not badly to think of payment for the attentive tracing.

  11. Hello! I would like to express my thanks and appreciation for your Twitch: TV app. I really enjoy using it to watch live-streaming on my big screen TV. However, I would like to share my opinion on how to improve the quality of streaming on your TV apps. I think there is more you could do to improve streaming performance and provide a more stable connection. Maybe you can do more research and testing to find new ways to optimize and improve your streaming experience. I believe you can continue to improve the quality of your app and I look…

  12. I love watching my favorite Twitch streamers through my TV app!However, I have noticed that sometimes the transmission quality can be a little low.I think that improving the streaming bandwidth and optimizing the codecs can help improve the transmission quality on my TV.It would be great if Twitch could provide a stream quality selection option so that we can choose the best quality for our internet speed.I'm sure Twitch will continue to improve their service for all of their viewers and I can't wait to see what they come up with next!

  13. I completely agree with you that this is quite an annoying behavior of the LG webOS app.It would be great if the app had the ability to customize how long a Twitch chat should remain open without being moved remotely.I can understand how this can break the UI if the chat stays open forever, so setting the fade time would be ideal.Let's hope the developers of the app take note of this and add such a setting in future updates.

  14. I know this is a tough topic but most streamers use third party services to allow emotes.. you need to address this on all platforms because anywhere besides PC / third party apps will suffer. This means that on smart TVs you get a subpar experience. Android gets SoundTV which is amazing, but Apple doesn't have a good twitch app at the moment by comparison. It's good for watching the stream, but you don't feel like you're part of the community which is something you preach to care about

  15. Why did this get removed in the latest update? It helped me figure out if I wanted to watch twitch or not.

  16. Right now, if you want to see the chat for a stream, it has to be to the side of the stream. It looks ugly and creates black bars.

    Let us have the chat in a small box in a corner. Let us control the opacity of the background, the size and position of the box, as well as letting us switch back to the current one.

    SoundTV on android tv does this amazingly well and rather than hiding the chat like I do on appleTV I get to show it and enjoy it without it ruining the stream.

  17. The new update is soo laggy and glitchy. You can’t even scroll through the streams correctly without it stuttering or freezing.

    The live followed streamers only show so many of your creators, and if you select see more, it takes you to the “following” page where you still don’t see more just what you saw before 😂😂 so I’ve had to manually search for smaller streamers that I know is live based on the mobile app.

    It’s so troublesome to find new VOD content.

    And also, the audio freezes/stutters every 20-30 seconds and sometimes even worse than that. It gets.…

  19. After the most recent Twitch app update/redesign for Apple TV, Top Clips is now missing when going into any categories. For example, previously before the most recent update/redesign, one could go into Just Chatting, and at the bottom would be a row of Top Clips within that category. This made finding new streamers and keeping up with the latest news/drama/etc. much easier and more interesting. Please add it back!

    Also, the new design looks great! Keep up the awesome work.

  20. The option to view chat on VODs has been removed from the Apple TV and Amazon Firestick apps. I watch VODs a lot and it’s frustrating to hear the streamers replying to messages in chat when I can’t even read what they are responding to. It makes for a frustrating viewing experience.
