An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Kick attracts audiences with its liberal content policy and generous creator terms, but the technical platform is still in beta mode: the app crashes every 20-30 minutes, Chromecast casting does not work, and AirPlay is unreliable.

Screenshots

What people use it for

Viewers of streamers who moved from Twitch to Kick.

What reviews praise

A free-speech policy and fewer restrictions pull streamers and their audiences away from other platforms.

What reviews complain about

The app crashes without warning every 20-30 minutes during both VOD and live stream viewing.

What users experience

2 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

So instead of prioritizing loading the channels I've already subscribed to, I have to wait until my limited data connection loads the entire homepage of stuff you're trying to push to me I have no interest in. Bad UX

Does not connect to chrome cast although there's a chromecast option. I've tried multiple chrome casts around my apartment and it connects but doesn't stream the livestream at all.
