This app desperately needs an update due to stream failing to load. Otherwise this app works great and it isnt perfect. It's a little delayed from the actual twitch app, but it doesnt make a stream unwatchable Edit July 29/2023- devs have made multiple improvements to this app and only thing i wish for is 7tv emotes, and a way to bypass the ad-screen

2023-04-17, VOD do not work at all right now, clips and live work fine. Can't report bug because I couldn't find that feature in the app. VODs are the only thing I want to watch :( Only functional twitch app out there. Works well, doesn't crash, lag or anything like that. It is even configurable.

Needs proper background playback. If I lock my phone to turn the screen off it just stops playing. Also it stops if you hit back to see what other streamers are live, it should keep playing and do a PIP in app like the normal twitch app does. It's solid if you play on having your screen on 100% of the time but I don't so it's kind of a deal breaker for me unfortunately.
