Works well, a few small issues

Overall the app works as expected and provides a native experience, far better than the browser. A few issues:1. There seems to be no way to restore the browsing window after closing it without force quitting the app. It would be nice if this was all integrated into one window, since it doesn’t seem like multiple streams can be played at the same time.2. 7TV emotes do not seem to work.3. It would be great if you could toggle background dimming from the video player.

Developer Response
1. Sorry about that. This seems to have changed with visionOS 2.0. Previously you could close the playback window and it would respawn the browsing window. That doesn't work in 2.0.You can also play multiple streams at the same time as long as only one of them is unmuted at once - Apple restriction, unfortunately.2. Could you give more information about the emotes not working? What channel and what emote could you not see?3. That's a good point. I'll try to put this in the next release.Thank you very much for the feedback.

Really Great Overall

Love how big you can resize the window. Easy access to essential controls like video quality and dimming. For a future update I would love the ability to separate the chat as its own window and the ability to type in the chat.

So much better than using Safari

Great app - works pretty great! I have two main issues: When I close the “browser” window where streams are listed, I don’t know how to re-open it. Also, chat often stops updating — maybe needs some kind of periodic auto-refresh. Also… would be great if there were multiple positions for chat (on top of the view window, just as wide, but half as tall — or on the left side would be nice.)

Finally, an excellent native app for visionOS, but be wary.

I gave up hope of Twitch releasing a native app (never mind that they haven’t even allowed their iPad app to come out on visionOS) when I came across this. Very well done, right at home in visionOS. Three bucks is a no brained for this. Edit: I’ve reduced the stars on this to three, because the developer is accepting money for this app but deflects feature requests to users as if it was FOSS software because features are “too complex.” Be wary of paying for this app if you expect future improvements like the ability to chat.
