DankChat is praised for its excellent Twitch chat experience on mobile with great customization, fast loading, and multi-stream support. However, users frequently report high battery usage and video playback issues such as freezing or stream cutting off. Missing features like Picture-in-Picture mode and inconsistent channel point redemption notifications are noted.
