User reviews

NowStreaming - Twitch is valued for delivering reliable Twitch stream notifications and customizable streamer tracking, filling gaps left by Twitch's native notifications. Users appreciate its simplicity, multi-account support, and frequent updates. However, common issues include automatic update failures requiring manual refreshes, discomfort with its Twitch authentication method, and concerns over requested permissions. Despite these drawbacks, it's regarded as a robust and essential tool among Twitch viewers for staying informed about live streams.

Pros

Provides reliable Twitch stream notifications when Twitch's native notifications are inconsistent or buggy.
Allows customization of which streamers are tracked and notified, including manual control over notifications per streamer.
Supports importing Twitch follow lists to manage notifications efficiently.
Simple, user-friendly, and regularly updated extension preferred by users.
Includes useful features like sorting streamers by uptime and multiple account management options.

Cons

Sometimes fails to automatically update streamer status, leading to missed streams and outdated live counts.
Lack of a manual refresh button forces users to re-import or reset lists to update data.
Authentication process appears sketchy or unsafe to some users, causing trust issues.
Requests intrusive permissions such as browsing history, leading to user distrust and removal of features.
Importing from Twitch resets individual streamer notification preferences, which annoys some users.
