Overheating, eats dozens of gigabytes of storage on phone, constant crashing and server issues.
Your app is coded like trash.
Problemas al enviar audios o contestar llamadas
Siempre que voy a contestar una llamada se reproduce solo y cuando voy a enviar un mensaje de voz no me deja enviarlo me toca cerrar la app
Garbage
I have never in my life had so much trouble logging into my account had to fully make a new account through my apple every other option just kept giving me errors and still it’s broken because it won’t let me follow or subscribe to anyone just keeps saying error fix your os

Terrible app performance on a 16PM. Playback on VODs always take a bit for playback controls to become available, casting either via airplay or screen casting is an absolute mess. Always have to gamble and see if it’ll cast to my Apple TV. And don’t even get started on the also terrible Apple TV app. Use the money from gambling to hire more coders.
Terrible app removed all the good features like why…
Removed quick chat and also sucks to load like always being terrible to load and says. Come back error …
Honest review
They keep adding more and more things, yet they never fix the bugs or issues they currently have so its just getting worse and worse
Cant even watch stream or read chat half the time, but thank god they added ads so it messes up more
Updating review to add now the app overheats your phone in a short time, kills your battery fast

Probably the worst functioning app available
Always something with this app, logs you out, can’t connect, won’t connect to a stream, plays ads for itself. Had the gambling money and now want more so they’re actively making it worse
constant issues
Every time I open the app something is wrong, either I’m logged out, it lost my place, 50% of the time it just randomly says “Something went wrong - Go Back” and then I try to open the stream up again and it doesn’t load at all. I have to close and reopen the app at least 10x a day, and have to find my place of where I was in the stream. It’s honestly bringing me a lot of stress.
Drops taking 2 twice as long as the should
Fix ur drops there taking longer than they should i have them pulled up on my phone with the volume up and full screen and its still not tracking it
delete
they don’t let you delete account shady business
Kick is Adding Ads
Kick has started interrupting streams to add in stream ads to the platform in the near future.
Terrible if you are IRL streamer
Love kick but I’m irl streamer and it’s been terrible trying to to stream on it
Why can’t I go live ?
Won’t let me go live
Every update introduces a new issue
EDIT: This applies to the MacOS version only, which is really the iOS/iPadOS version of the Kick app. You can’t sign in…. There, that’s all the feedback I have.
Kick you will feel my pain
I hate u
F2A problems
I can't introduce a new F2A device, my mobile phone is broken and I got a new one! What should I do?
رايي
تطبيق زق يعلق وكل شويه يفصل البث وجوده البثوث ضعيفه وحتى وانت نتك قوي تجربه سيئه لاكن منزله عشان اتفرج بثوث شباب
Subscriber ads are back!
Terrible advertisement integration. Paid subscribers receive ads. Expect 30 seconds of ads every 15 minutes minimum. I support ads on Kick, but the current implementation is honestly pathetic. Do better Kick!
HORRIBLE
Worst app I have ever used in my life.
Doesn’t work
Website works fine, app shows no livestreams
Ads?
Having ads after initially being an ad free experience is the dumbest shïț ever and apparently if you are subscribed to a channel it doesn’t matter still get ads
Actually non-functional trash
I actually cant think of many features that work on this app. It seems like every week another one breaks. Please Stake, re-up on Claude tokens and finish this thing
Subbed to a streamer and still have to watch ads
This app was so great at first especially when you didn’t have to sub to someone to not watch ads but now it doesn’t matter if you’re subbed or not you will still be forced to watch ads. So there is no point in this app and it is no better than twitch or YouTube. May be worse tbh.
GET RID OF ADS
That was the only thing making kick better than twitch and now yall messed it up. GET RID OF ADS
Kick has AD's now
I switched to kick because of other platforms ads....and well now kick has ad's...
Terrible app
Somehow less functional and performant than just bringing up the website on your phone browser. What’s the point? Don’t download until they improve it.
Must be multiple iOS compatible
On cellular this app will not load. Keep trying.
Los pollos
So I would like this streaming platform, but for some reason their is a whale named Los who ruins my day every time I see him. Please remove this baby hippo from your services to enhance viewer experience
The phone app
The app on the iPhone is so buggy you can’t do anything can’t sign in without it being a error. You can see the chat at all also if your in landscape mode it doesn’t work at all please fix.
Closes every 5 seconds
I can’t even watch kick for 5 seconds before it closes out completely. It doesn’t happen once, it’s a continuous problem. Fix the issue. This is ridiculous
Ugh
I see why this app is free. It’s very unstable…
No ads just technical issues
If the content creators I watch on kick were streaming on a different platform, I would watch them on the other platform.
Chromecast
Does not connect to chrome cast although there’s a chromecast option. I’ve tried multiple chrome casts around my apartment and it connects but doesn’t stream the livestream at all.
Autopay on Headphone Disconnect for IPhone is brutal
I think Kick has huge advantages in performance and design over Twitch with one glaring exception for iPhone: if you have a stream open and you disconnect headphones, it will suddenly start to blare it on your phone speaker. This even happens if you pause the stream before you disconnect your headphones and minimize the app, will auto start playing again. Unless you close the stream or the app completely, this happens nearly without fail. Please fix this, as it is crazy that this bug persists.
