a pretty good video feed app for twit tv. the app always worked for me; however I could never get the video to fill my screen (galaxy note II) like the official twit tv app. the chat rooms are something I can do without. for those of you who don't want to pay for the official twit app, this will do.
When viewing shows on-demand, every notification sends you back to the beginning. That renders this almost useless for viewing on demand, archived programs.
I would love it if there was a way to lock the orientation of the display that way when I tip my phone it doesn't reload the stream.
The app does exactly what I need - follow live twit stream and chat. However, the UX is pretty rough, hacky and ugly. Then again, I don't really care as the main features are working.
I used it to watch the new year party in bed. Very nice. Had to cope with the chat tho. that goes thru the menu which is a bit unhandy.
Does what it says.. Simple and functional twit live for twit network fans. Ad free as well, great job dev.
Great twit app. Would love to have it keep playing when locked and audio only stream in a later version.
I just finshed watching TNT while on the BART heading from SF to Berkeley!!! This is a great app if you're a TWIT addict like me & away from your computer. The screen ratio is the only drawback for me but it works excellent on my galaxy note 2. Can participate in the chat room if I choose to, see a schedule of whats on, & choose what stream to watch twit. Its not a fancy (not lots of graphics) app. But a great way to watch TWIT on my phone anywhere!!! Thanks to the creator(s) of this app!!!!!!!
Plays really nice on my Samsung Galaxy Mega, video quality is good with no interruptions over Wi-Fi. Just wish I could turn the chat off, and only watch the video.
Be great if it could keep playing in the background.
Does a really nice job with all the options you 'will ever need , and it's free
No adobe air required like several other apps I've seen plus it plays video smoothly on my wifi. The chat is a nice touch. So far so good.
Have tried this on 3 different phones and can never get the chatroom to work. It tells me to choose a nickname. Right. Have done so and it still keeps reading to choose a nickname. The ios app is still the best.
Thanks Tony works great on droid 4 now I can watch live again.
As you can see by your own images, also unable to turn off chat as it just leaves blank space.
Video always plays on my Nexus 7/4. I've had no luck getting chat working, ever. Thanks for adding just audio! I prefer this for mobile networks.
Nothing else works though. Using Verizon 4G.
Need the ability to turn off chat and get full wide screen video.
Good, simple app to watch TWiT. Extra bonus, limited permissions.
Crashes the tablet every time I use this.
This is a very well done app! It works great on my nexus 7!
Works great but I wish there was a way to specify resolution.
It looks like I'm doing the right thing. I'm adding my NICKNAME. When I tap message it says, "You need to joined a chatroom (Set a nickname first) to send a message." Ideas?
Fantastic app for watching the live shows, and it's free :-)
An "audio only" feed/option would be awesome.
What good is this app if you can't stop the live stream so you can watch a different video ?
Works OK on Ustream but other sources like Flowsoft or Justin.TV will not play. Won't play Ustream on Moto G5.
Excellent, works well! Is there a way to adjust the resolution?
That explains it then, this stopped posting to chat and I wondered what happened to it. If I paid more attention I'd have known, but only use them on occasion. I'll try the new version you made, it's installed but didn't realize these were connected to each other. Thanks for posting information here for us!
