Don’t get me wrong, I would chose this app over all the other imitations out there, especially for streaming something I like in the background when doing something or nothing. But what I really get frustrated about with the app, is the new “feed” feature being designated as the first thing you see when opening the app. To which that just closes out the stream I already wanted to watch when it’s pop up banner comes across my screen.I was wondering if, in the next update installment, you allow the users of the mobile app version, to switch around the different settings when opening the app. So that their are less-no frustrations when choosing if you want to watch the feed of any streamer you follow, or allow the same settings as how they were before the “Feed” setting was added. Since it is a mildly annoying thing to have to open up the app and see a feed you don’t want to, at that moment, see and have to switch to something like following or browse, etc. to find the stream you want. Since feed, might not have what you are interested to watch at that moment in time. But it will automatically cancel out the stream you do want to watch when tapping the banner pop up and it opens the app, because it doesn’t know how to handle both at once popping up.Sorry for the rant, it just gets annoying to me when this situation happens since the new update happened. Thanks for hearing me and I hope you, and the company employees/employers have a great week.

It’s so difficult to navigate the app that the older version of the Home Screen is just instagram reels but with live streams on them. I can’t even see the streams I have yet to finish watching and I have to now search the name of the streamer and look for the video I was watching which is sometimes a hassle because to watch older video you have to scroll down all the way and sometimes even miss it because the bar it blends in with the background and thumbnail before I just had to scroll down a bit and boom there was my stream that I haven’t finished watching and I didn’t have to got through an entire process to find one video. I understand what Twitch wanted to do with the layout but it just doesn’t work or either remove it or just add another space in the bottom bar to access this because it really is a great idea what isn’t a great idea tho is to eliminate the Home Screen that has worked so well for the app scrap it and add an entire new UI that you can’t go anywhere with it just isn’t practical. On another note you can make the viewer choose how they want the UI to look like and make it more practical for every individual viewer and put it to their taste then you don’t have any problems with UI issues in the first place because they can just change how they want it to look like and that is a much better update to make.

I think twitch is cool and different than other platforms. I have a couple channels that I follow and browse some others that peak my interest occasionally. There are some issues that I have with it tho. When you open the app, the first thing you see are other channels that are being promoted or match who you are currently following. The channels you follow are at the bottom and you have to scroll all the way down just to get to them. Put the ones I’m following at the top for quick access, please. Also, I understand that the app is for ages 17+ but when you open the app and the channels that are being promoted show up, I’d rather not have a bunch of pages of girls with every part of their anatomy hanging out as the first thing you see. A good 2/3 of the channels are like this. I don’t even follow channels like them; just some gaming channels and a couple where the women actually wear all their clothes and talk about everyday life. Yet they are spread all over my front page in string bikinis in hot tubs. I’d rather not open the app and look like some creep who views those kinds of adult channels when I don’t. It’s like you have to open the app with your phone or tablet covered in case there’s someone else looking by mistake. Maybe I’ll look through the app and see if I can fix things myself or hopefully the app is updated in the future.
