If the experience is virtually the same, would a casual Twitch viewer really want to download a standalone app for a service they use sparingly? There’s a case to be made that having the app at your fingertips could turn casual viewers into consistent ones but I don’t buy it. While I fully support a consistent user experience across platforms, I just don’t see the app making many converts. The first thing I noticed after downloading the Twitch app and connecting my account was that the app’s interface looks almost identical to Twitch’s website in a browser. Even though I’m already a heavy Twitch viewer and respect the attempt at rocking the boat, it’s going to take a lot more from the desktop app as it exists now to convince anyone to make the switch.
If you think that sounds like Twitch is throwing its weight into areas already dominated by Discord and Steam, you aren’t wrong.
