5.0 out of 5 stars Love it
This is a great app to use when you don't have your computer and the quality is good. Even though there is no chat box, I still rate this app with five stars!

3.0 out of 5 stars Gets the job done, but needs some work.
I've been an avid fan of pro League of Legends streams for about half a year now and I was quite delighted to find out that their was a Twitch TV app for the Kindle Fire.

I've been an avid fan of pro League of Legends streams for about half a year now and I was quite delighted to find out that their was a Twitch TV app for the Kindle Fire.

Let's begin with the pros:
-Allows access to your favorite streams wherever an internet connection, (and you don't have to watch it on a tiny smart phone!)
-Includes all streams from all major games, (LoL, DotA, SC2), and minor games, (Halo, CoD, speedruns).
-Interface is intuitive and does not require an Einstein capacity intellect to learn.

Cons:
-Most streams can only be viewed in 480p.
-Streams sometimes fail to load; requires app restart to load it properly.
-Missing A LOT of the features from the PC website such as log in privileges, access to VODS, chat, etc. This was definitely my chief complaint regarding the app.

Overall, this app is a must have for stream junkies, such as myself. Whether you're at home on the toilet or sitting in the airport, you won't miss any pro gaming action! However, I felt inclined to reduce the rating to 3 stars due to the stated gripes above. With all that said, job well done, Twitch TV; here's to hoping you continue to improve upon this app.

3.0 out of 5 stars Missing a lot of features..., December 28, 2012
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Twitch (App)
I love watching Twitch.tv on my PC and I hear the iOS app is pretty well featured but this one doesn't let you sign in so that you can easily view live streams from people that you are following. There is no chat as well which is a bummer too.

I have an older Android device as well, and this app plays pretty horribly on that but it is much better on my Kindle Fire and Nexus phone.

If they add the ability to sign in to your Twitch.tv account I would raise this to at least a 4 star review.

Will often just hang/freeze with the loading circle Icon. I often have to kill the task and open it again to make it work.

3.0 out of 5 stars No search sucks, May 22, 2013
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Twitch (App)
Used to be better when you could search for streams. As a TwitchTv streamer and not one of the well known steamers, but still a steamer, my friends can no longer search for my stream on the app to watch whatever games I may be playing. Other than that I love the app.

2.0 out of 5 stars A for effort?, May 2, 2013

This review is from: Twitch (App)
First off, I LOOOOVE twitch. I watch it more than I watch real tv. Great streamers that are nice, funny, and entertaining. HOWEVER, this particular way is NO way to interface with them. First off, I only got the video to work like 2 times in the 20 or so that I tried loading a stream, most of the time only sound would come through, as if it were a radio show. Second, you cannot log into your twitch account and use your following list, or your paid account statuses to ANY result. Third, along side not being able to use your accounts, you cannot chat, and that is just sad.

As I said, I love twitch enough to give this app a star, but that is it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Needs Work, June 9, 2013
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Twitch (App)
I enjoy watching livestreams often, but I wish the app had more features like being able to watch past broadcasts from people you follow and half the time chat doesn't load or the stream freezes up. I wish the app was more like the website for people who don't have computers to watch the streams.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of space, May 13, 2013
This review is from: Twitch (App)
The search feature only brings up random channels, no ability to log into my account, and whenever I try to watch a stream, it kicks me back to the list of all channels.
