Crashes too many times in one session a Dee Jay, I’m on data I don’t have WiFi, it sleeps as if’s on WiFi, too many distractions on on session in minutes.

App is littered with bugs. Video never consistently plays. Absolutely disgusting user experience.
Mobile app is terrible. Video never consistently plays. Terribly unstable. Videos will get locked up and will melt down yohr phone and you can not make them stop playing. They have all this money from subs yet can run an app. Streak system is BROKEN! Absolutely pathetic.

TikTok knock off.
Twitch os is a joke. This app is even more of a joke. The stream streak is even a bigger joke. Twitch definitely don’t know what they’re doing.
★★★★ JFK the goat 5/6/2026 v29.3
Too many ads
I come to this app to watch people talk about and enjoy the things they enjoy. Instead I have 20, 30 second ads thrown in my face every 10 minutes YouTube is better, kick is better. Do not recommend.
★★★★ Hoglogic 5/5/2026 v29.3
Streaming service that platforms terrorist supporters and calls for violence.
Not a fan.
★★★★ Lrdprimus 5/5/2026 v29.3
Ads
Trash I get fewer ads not being logged into twitch. Garbage app

Trash can get malware’s through a stream
★★★★ Antiphone gamer 5/5/2026 v29.3
Just gross
this is for terrorizer. You ban him for talking about ice but don’t ban amaranth for showing cleavage and having a literal person in a gimp suit on stream.
Terrorizer ban=7days
Amaranth ban= 3 hours
Also terrorizer was making a joke amongst friends about ice not going into it politely
Trash app should be shut down
★★★★ Jajsgjsk185 5/5/2026 v29.3
Corrupt
This app is insane. I haven’t been paying attention the last years, and Wow. I came to watch some gamers and whatever. Domme mommy’s and people supporting actual terrorism was the first things I saw. With girls telling guys they at losers, and to give them their tax refunds. And Hasan Piker saying to commit ___ against ___ and all comments filtered so no one can hear any opposing viewpoints. Why do you ban some creators for something most people agree with, but not others who are clearly breaking TOS? It’s weird and a problem.
★★★★ Melz142 5/4/2026 v29.2
Trash now
The app doesn’t even play videos anymore fulky and constantly buffers no matter where Im at. My service is great and all my other video apps and youtube streams seamlessly. I restarted my phone, redownloaded the app and nothing. It only works on PC for me now.

★★★★ Oo/3 5/3/2026 v29.2
Sucks
App is useless on my tv and my phone. Can no longer rewind when using the app on my tv. When I try to use my phone and connect to my tv there are constant glitches.

Video constantly freezes
The IoS app is just trash. Constantly freezes. If your whole product is streaming video, isn’t that something you might want to get right?
★★★★ Dawg89822 5/3/2026 v29.2
Twitch intentionally throttles data streaming
Twitch intentionally throttle data streaming if you do not have Wi-Fi. So even watching on 480P, which is horrible to look at it’s still lags.
I can stream any streaming service except twitch with my phone data so I know it’s not a data problem. It’s a Twitch and Amazon problem.
Pathetic
★★★★ The goat57 5/2/2026 v29.2
It’s bad
It doesn’t let me follow anyone
★★★★ loolopojhy 5/2/2026 v29.2
Why
The ads are unskippable and always punish you when you try to get rid of them
★★★★ Ryoga_Dojo 5/2/2026 v29.2
Ads Ruined an Important Live Competition Moment
I am giving Twitch 1 star because ads ruined an important moment for my family.
I was watching an EA Sports competition where my son played Mario Kart. At the worst moments, long ads started playing. When my son’s team won and received the winner’s belt, the stream cut to ads again.
I understand ads are part of the platform, but during live competitions, the timing should be handled much better. This was very disappointing.

Take away the number thing
Pick a random thing please it’s very annoying Every time I put my number and it doesn’t work so take it away. I want old Twitch back.
★★★★ larybusy 4/29/2026 v29.2
I thought this was for gaming
The overall credibility and reputation of this platform is laughable. I literally just deleted the app because they champion BDSM fetish content from washed adult video “stars”. The CEO is a creep and I’m inclined to ask if his hard drive needs to be checked. Reminder that kids and teenagers are the demographic here yet they champion degenerate porn stars named Morgpie all over the main page. What is wrong with people and society. Normalizing filth per usual
★★★★ Apple app game reviewer 4/28/2026 v29.2
Adpocalypse
Just watch it in browser the sole purpose of this app is to feed as many ads as possible

OF Content
The problem with Twitch is most of the streamers you will find on the platform are women promoting their content for a different social media platform on Twitch. Twitch is no longer what it used to be years ago, you now have to swim through an ocean of onlyfans creators just to find one decent streamer.
★★★★ C-Fox13 4/28/2026 v29.2
Garbage
Was okay when it was just about streaming games. Now it’s a place for dog abusers to gather and spread terrorist propaganda to children.

I get like 30 ads every 20 mins
★★★★ JJohnson90 4/27/2026 v29.1
Ads
The length and frequency of the ads is absolutely insane. I hadn’t watched twitch for a while and I tried to get back into it but the ads are unbearable. I think I watched more ad time than gameplay.
★★★★ Gizmo/117 4/27/2026 v29.1
It’s great
It’s okay
★★★★ firedooderoo 4/26/2026 v29.1
Broken support system
Yeah I forgot my password and it’s a whole mess, it won’t send to my email even though it sent me an email of my username, then after many attempts it shuts me out. So I try my phone number instead and it says to enter a valid phone number ?!?! So I give up on that and try to create a new account using my phone number and now it says the phone number is already on file and can’t be used sooooo make it make sense until then It’s just a broken useless app taking up space on my phone
★★★★ ShaiTeaLatte 4/26/2026 v29.1
Thumbs down
Chat doesn’t load and I no longer get push notifications. This app has gone downhill significantly
★★★★ tobesrl 4/26/2026 v29.1
Twitch is terrible and predatory
Their feature to copy tiktok by forcing you onto the live page instead of following, something they previously had a toggle option for, as well as launching you straight into a tiktok like feed is just abysmal. This app is straight up predatory and every malicious thing they do is intentional. All the 5 stars reviews are bots and are fake
★★★★ Justdothething 4/25/2026 v29.1

No need for viewers when you’ve got moderators being the fourth wheel to suppress the 1st amendment.
