Mixer brings to Twitch some good competition, but Microsoft really needs to step up its app game.
Microsoft purchased Beam over a year ago to push video game broadcasting into the forefront of Microsoft's efforts.

It's a solid streaming service that focuses on quick interaction with viewers and streamers engaging with audiences. Mixer is available on a number of platforms, though there notably isn't a first-party UWP version, and I recently took the iOS version for a test run on my iPad Pro.
Using the app showed its potential to be a great way to view streams but also highlighted flaws in the iOS version of Mixer.
