this is cool. my phone streams better than my laptop anyway lol.

i wondered why when i clicked a stream it always just opened up the browser instead of the twitch app already installed on the phone - so not just me Smile

i would like to see this app implemented for the PS Vita i think it would benefit really well from it, i suppose using it with PS4 as a second screen works just the same but I've never really been a fan of having 2 separate consoles on at the same time for the one function "perfect if you're looking to conserve a little electricity" lol

i must just be waiting on an update for the phone app mine is still the same just now, can't wait to try it now.

LOL Smile

My app updated a couple of hours ago, must say, really impressed. It runs quite smooth and clear over wifi. Installed Twitch and USTREAM apps and happy to confirm it opens up these apps, instead of the browser - when selecting a video to view.

A good update all round and surely some amusement to endure, only thing i cant figure out, is how to type/send messages when using it like you can do on PS4? I will prob find out sooner or later tho haha
