Gamestreams for Windows 8 - an unofficial twitch.tv app

[hiostu]

Hi everybody,

One month ago we released the first version of our Gamestreams app. The primary function of the app is to stream Twitch.tv streams on your Windows 8 devices. We support Windows 8 and Windows RT and the app has been tested multiple devices including a Surface RT. We are still very busy with the development and are adding new features frequently. We also want to hear community feedback on our Facebook page so we can improve our future releases.

Some features:

• Watch streams of most popular games on Twitch.tv
• List of featured streams
• View streams in High quality (source quality)
• Twitch.tv Chat support
• Snapped view
• Search for Games or streams

Some screens:



You can find our release in the Windows 8 store here.

Note: apologies if this post isn't allowed in this forum, since this is Windows Phone development. Please delete this post if it violates the forum rules.
