For the best performance is recommended to have installed on your device the latest version of "The Android System WebView app" and install it from Play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.webview

Phones and tablets aren't fully supported as the project focus is Android TV, because of that you can't install this from Play Store on phones or tablets, but is possible to use the below link to download the APK and install this on any device:

This is an "open source project" Check it on GitHub:

https://github.com/fgl27/SmartTwitchTV

Anyone is welcome to participate in the development, you can participate via GitHub or email fglfgl27@gmail.com

Any issue, feature request, help request, or anything related can be informed via GitHub issue or email.

This app has no affiliation with Twitch, this is a user-made app, but is only possible because Twitch provides all the API that allows the app to show Twitch content.

Those APIs are documented here:

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★Can we please get 12hr option for clock and chat timestamps.
5 ★This is the best Twitch app for Google TV. Was frustrated with the poor quality of the official Twitch app and this is a breath of fresh air. Lots more customized options as well as is even better than twitch app for mobile phones. Which they came out with a mobile version. Currently only for Google tv
2 ★I cannot see anywhere my followed channels, my profile picture is not the same as my official twitch picture. In the channel list I can see strange channels listed. It is like I used other person's account.
5 ★infinitely better than twitch's native app
4 ★Thank you for creating this app. This is much better than the offical twice app and better quality. The only reason I am doing 4 stars is I have this app on my lounge tv and also bedroom tv. However when I switch from one tv to the other it only remembers the time stamp of the last watched vod on that tv only. So if I’m watching a vod in the lounge when I go to bed I have to remember where I was up up to and fast forward to that time stamp which is quite frustrating. Is there a fix for this?
5 ★Great app, supports a bunch of features the official app does not. The app navigation is a little weird and takes some time to get used too but once you do it's easy to use.
5 ★Twitch officially broke their native android tv app. Learned about this one on Reddit and I’m very impressed. Lots more functions to learn than the standard app but way better.
5 ★Love it but as of yesterday chat doesn’t show on vods. How can I fix this?
4 ★App is pretty unstable & tends to crash every few minutes while watching a stream, but it does restart itself & picks itself back up before the crash. I don't use this app very much (usually only when supporting other streamers with a lurk to add to their viewers), but I noticed the official Twitch app was kicking me out on BOTH of my Shield TVs on 3/21/2022 & decided it was time to authenticate my primary account in this app as an alternative to the clearly busted official app (which I will be using until Twitch can fix the official app on Shield TVs). This app also offers additional functions on a Shield TV device that still has not been added in the official app (the official app being severely behind on functions added to Twitch over the last couple years). I'm docking 2 stars in my score due to the instability of the app (as well as the somewhat complicated interface; especially when it comes to adding channels to my home screen, which I still have not figured out, not to mention it appears you have to go into the app just to get any channels you may have added to your home screen to refresh/update), but adding 1 star back due to supporting functions that Twitch still has not added to the official app on Shield TV devices.
1 ★Doesn't work on TV anymore. Thank you for nothing.
