Here’s a convenient list of other awesome things about Twitch:
Everyone is “about” community. We actually are one: Whatever you nerd out about, you can find your people on Twitch. Give support, get support: Find new streamers and subscribe to your favorites. Plus, unlock exclusive perks for your support. Start your own channel: The Twitch app is one of the easiest ways to start streaming. Just create an account, go live directly from the app, and bring people together around whatever you’re passionate about. You never know what you’ll find: Popular games are always live, but so are music festivals, rocket launches, street tours of Tokyo, and goat yoga. Yes, really. Dark mode: Y’all love this one. Black and purple have never looked this good together.

The only problem with this is whenever I use Twitch on my phone, it always buffers. Even though im watching on 720p or 1080p and having strong Internet connection it always buffers like every 2-5 minutes. Compared to my laptop, with the same quality settings and having strong Internet connection, it doesn't buffer frequently. Also, the notifications whenever a person is live is so delayed or I don't get a notification at all despite the fact that I have relevant settings enabled.

Autoplay homepage feature is awful. As soon as I open the app it's playing a video from anyone I follow... I don't want spoilers from episodes I haven't watched yet! Also if I was half way through watching a video it used to start back up when I opened the app next, and remember what I was watching, but now I watch a video for a bit, close twitch, come back later to watch more and it is nowhere to be found without navigating through a thousand menus.

I like watching without ads with this app. The app allows listening with the screen off, but it jumps back minutes and if you turn the screen back on the video is frozen until you get back to where you were. If you cast to your TV and turn off your phone, sometimes when you turn on your phone again the video will jump back to where you started. Same when you stop casting. Also navigation issues. I'm close to going back to watching a lot of annoying ads rather than use this app
