There is no way for me to watch on the TV. I have to cast it from my phone which is literal AIDS.

u/Spacepirateroberts Twitch Subscriber 4d ago

100% wife and I love watching while on the couch and this is a major reason neither of us see kick streams.

u/JollyGreenWorld117 OG Sub 4d ago

Yeah same here. I'm able to cast it from the Kick app very inconsistently. I have to screen share my phone onto the TV to watch.

Drives me crazy that I can't use my phone at all.

u/ImDero Wub Babe 4d ago

As a non-chatting viewer, this is probably my only complaint with Kick.

u/McShalepants 4d ago

Ugh same! Just give us a ps5/smart tv app already

u/ShadedSpaces Wub Babe 4d ago

I have an app on my Nvidia Shield. Works perfectly. I didn't realize that was rare! That's wild.

u/RawBinOfLoxLee Microwave 4d ago

Nvidia Shield runs on android, that's why. There is an android tv app.

u/BllushingHorizon 4d ago

I have the Kick app on my Android TV. Is it not available on other systems?

u/RevolutionaryFail730 4d ago

My Samsung TV doesn’t have a kick app

u/Capybarhigh 4d ago

Console apps too!

u/TeenageButts 4d ago

This is also my biggest complaint! No app for PlayStation or my smart tv. Casting from iPhone sucks so bad.

u/AOneMan 4d ago

App for Playstation would be a game changer.

u/Demos12 4d ago

I use the baked in internet browser on the fire stick snd it crashes constantly, I dont have this issue with any other site. There are no apps for the fire stick, ps5 or any of my TV both Samsung.

u/DannyK257 Twitch Subscriber 4d ago

There is an app for the Fire TV Stick, at least for my 4K Max (First Gen, 2022). But not for my Fire HD 10 tablet and the browser basically doesn't work at all with Kick

u/Booty_popper146 is 5'8" 4d ago

What OS is your tv running? Android TV has a kick app that Ive never had problems using

u/JollyGreenWorld117 OG Sub 4d ago

Weird. Just got a S90F from Samsung and no app.

u/Glaive83 4d ago

samsung uses their own OS

u/drkspace2 4d ago

There are still apps (like twitch has one)

u/Glaive83 4d ago

yes i was just saying why the kick app wasn't appearing for jollygreen even though there is one for android

u/CALC-YOULATER 4d ago

The only app I found on mine let stream play for a solid 5 mins and then asked for payment. Its a no from me dawg.

And agreed, cast from phone IS aids 1000%

u/yeainyourbra Wub Babe 4d ago

My fire tv has a kick app! Not sure what you’re using though

u/JollyGreenWorld117 OG Sub 4d ago

Yeah Android & Fire TV's are the only TV that has a app for it. I have a Samsung so RIP.

u/BIG_FUCKING_RED_DOG 4d ago

And Apple TV

u/JollyGreenWorld117 OG Sub 4d ago

Who tf buys an Apple TV?

u/SRPWCM 4d ago

Apple TVs dope man, I like it better than Roku, Fire Stick, or Chromecast

u/rattler254 is 5'8" 4d ago

People who don’t want to drop money on an ancient (but still great) Nvidia shield. Apple TV’s are silky smooth and they’re about to drop their newest version this fall.

u/BIG_FUCKING_RED_DOG 3d ago

Wait for the new ones to come out and buy a used ATV 4K on eBay, trust. They’re great 95% of the time (no chrome cast sucks), and for the last 5%, just use your TVs built in features.

u/rb028 4d ago

I have a Kick app on my TV ?! I don't get it

u/JollyGreenWorld117 OG Sub 4d ago

That's crazy. I just got a new Samsung S90F TV this week. No app.

u/rickastleysanchez 4d ago

Kick app works great on Sony Android tv

u/JollyGreenWorld117 OG Sub 4d ago

Yeah Android & Fire TV's are the only TV that has a app for it.

u/JhinuinelyImpressed 4d ago

I have apps on two different TVs, maybe it'll help of you say your brand. Edit:nvm saw you put it down further

u/OleDaneBoy is 5'8" 4d ago

FireTV sticks have an app for it I never knew it was such a problem

u/BashfulZ 4d ago

If you have an Xbox they have a WebApp on there, it goes down pretty frequently though

u/JollyGreenWorld117 OG Sub 4d ago

So I do have that, but I only use my Xbox for gaming. Don't want go run it just to stream content. That's what the TV is for imo.

u/BashfulZ 4d ago

Relatable, mines an old pos so i don't mind using it as a glorified VCR lol

u/TurbulentAss42069 4d ago

I use my fire stick to watch on TV

u/ohline Wub Babe 4d ago

I use an Nvidia Shield, and same.

u/flakeybutterbitch 4d ago

There's Def a app for the Nvidia shield! Thats how my husband and I watch! No issues over here

u/ohline Wub Babe 4d ago

Then you may have a newer one. I've had mine for like, 10 years. There is no Kick app.

u/Zeke911 4d ago

Let us block Creators from the website. Not just the app. And have unlimited blocks, not just 100.

u/poopoobuttpenis 4d ago edited 4d ago

So tired of seeing asmongolds stupid mouse face. As well as fascidiot Adin Ross and all the manosphere people on kick.

Edit: Chaining on to add that please dear god stop having autoplay on the main menu of the android tv app. It blasts at like max volume whoever is on the front page if you aren't fast enough and kick streamers love earrape

u/Zeke911 4d ago

I think you're thinking of his alarm clock.

u/Paint-Jobber Shirtless 4d ago

it was a rat

u/Zeke911 4d ago

close enough

u/poopoobuttpenis 4d ago

He spends enough time with them that he looks like one.

u/dustynuggets91 Twitch Subscriber 4d ago

This a thousand times. I hate seeing people I despise

u/rb028 4d ago

Better yet, a button to block every creators except ones I follow.

u/RawBinOfLoxLee Microwave 4d ago

You guys actually browse the site? I always go directly to wubby's page via kick.com/paymoneywubby. I don't know who else streams on the platform.

u/UnexpectedCroissant 4d ago edited 4d ago

The live rewind function does not work on desktop. It will randomly skip to live every time I get close, especially if I'm trying to catch up by watching on 1.5x speed

Edit: Also, when it catches up to live, the stream crashes and you have to refresh the web page

u/conman228 4d ago

Also if you rewind and click the live button it will just crash stream on mobile

u/Unable-Narwhal4814 Wub Babe 4d ago

I thought I was going crazy. Glad you also experienced this cause I will want to pause (which is awesome) but like, I get 5 min of time and then boom, I'm live watching.

u/ohline Wub Babe 4d ago

Yup, I have the same issue. And unless I'm continuously checking how far in I am, I then get to hunt through to find my place again.

u/InitialBN 4d ago

It seems to skip back to live once you've watched as long as you skipped back. For example, if stream has been going for an hour and you skip back to the beginning, you have an hour of watching until it goes back to Live. At least that's my experience.

u/OnTheProwl- 4d ago

Also, I want the live rewind to also rewind chat. I want to see how others are reacting to what I'm watching, not something an hour in the future.

u/zax13002 Twitch Subscriber 2d ago

Yeah the bugs in this feature are super annoying and unfortunate, but if it worked flawlessly I would be SOO happy

u/Andrew_9mb 4d ago edited 4d ago

For the love of God, track our vod progress across devices. Sometimes it doesn't even track it on the same device. I basically memorize the timestamp when I go from my phone to a TV or vice versa.

On android TV, seeking (fast forward or rewind) after having watched for some time reverts back to where the seek bar was when you started the vod. Try to fast forward a minute or go back a minute, you'll be sent back to where you started the vod.

Pop up (picture in picture) video on android doesn't support pause in the pop up, unlike almost any other video player that uses the pop up feature.

Plenty of other polish is needed, but these are the obvious ones for me. Would be a good start.

u/Violentmuffin 4d ago

Vod track for sure!

u/zwuebek Wub Babe 4d ago

This is one of my biggest things about Kick. I'm glad my Android TV has the Kick app but I have to remember my timestamp if I try to scrub because it will revert back to the beginning or the last time I paused or scrubbed and I lose my place.

u/lildrumpro 4d ago

Also, on the TV app when you try to fast forward or rewind it jumps in 2-3 minutes increments which makes it very hard to go to a specific point in the VOD

u/Rovsnegl 4d ago

And let us share with a time stamp

u/Lydialuvss 3d ago

Yes, this!! Especially VOD playback, desktop is especially bad. it doesn't remember your progress at all and will set you back to the beginning if it reloads for any reason. Picture in picture pausing is a big one I've noticed too

u/mheat 4d ago edited 4d ago

BUG

Be on iPhone> kick notification pops up for wubby> tap notification> kick opens to wubby stream> black screen, no video> force close app> works about 50% of the time> force close again until stream works.

u/Andrew_9mb 4d ago

I get the black screen on android as well in similar circumstances.

u/CALC-YOULATER 4d ago

The amount of times I have to close all my apps and restart stream and have to then search for wubby is ridiculous. Black screen kills my spirit.

u/mheat 4d ago

Here’s another one: if I do PiP with kick and then go back to full screen, the chat simply disappears and will not be viewable until I force close and reopen (again, that only works about half the time - I usually have to force close multiple times).

u/OnTheProwl- 4d ago

Best fix for this is to open another stream, and then click back into wubby. Way quicker than force closing the app.

u/mheat 4d ago

Thanks for the tip

u/TinyStego 4d ago

Similar on Android. If I switch between apps, most of the time when I switch back to Kick it'll either be black with no sound, or I'll get an error saying something happened to the broadcast. Need to close out and reopen.

If I watch it using Firefox on my phone I don't have that issue though.

u/WhyattThrash is 5'8" 4d ago

Open streams at 100% volume instead of always being 50%. Tiny thing but so weird

u/benseifert666 Twitch Subscriber 4d ago

Or muted. I get that one a lot as well. 100% would be ideal IMHO

u/howdoesketo 4d ago

Yeah, this is recently occuring for me in the last week. Every stream is at 50% and its weird to manually turn it up every time. Even if Kick crashes and restarts, it resets it down to 50%.

u/Asaias_Wolffe 1d ago

IMO new to you streams should be a 50% on first open but every visit after should just remember what your last volume settings were

u/WhyattThrash is 5'8" 1d ago

That's how it works now. And maybe it would work if the application doesn't constantly forget what your last setting was

IMO new to you streams should be a 50% on first open

Why? No other platform or application in the history of ever does this. If you want a lower volume when opening a new stream, then lower your volume when opening the stream. That's why we have volume settings on our devices. Forcing the user to constantly set the volume to the "normal" setting that should be default has no purpose

u/Bigblue12 4d ago

Audio-Only mode so i can listen to stream at work without any video. Also good if i want to listen when im going for a walk or driving. It will save data too.

u/Andrew_9mb 4d ago

On android you can just lock your screen with it still running and it's essentially audio only.

u/Bigblue12 4d ago

It still takes my data is my issue. I had to stop watchinf last month so i woudlnt run out

u/Andrew_9mb 4d ago

Ahh, I see. Would going into the advanced settings and choosing 160p work for that in the meantime? I'm assuming it hurts audio quality a little but might be worth trying for now.

u/_Tkackuk Hog Squeezer 4d ago

An “execute” feature that could ban a chatter in a fun/loud way when wubby crashes out

u/RandmHer0 Twitch Subscriber 4d ago edited 4d ago

Different types of roles other than VIP and MOD that can be customized by the streamer. I.E. Hiroshima guy with the role “resident gooner”. A one guy badge would be awesome too.

u/wriggly1 4d ago

Like stream titles like WOW

u/flakeybutterbitch 4d ago

I love this idea! Of course I know Hiroshima guy and Ounce Guy and stuff, but I wouldn't know their usernames off the top of my head.

Even having something kinda flair like on reddit could be fun.

u/CanoTheMonkey Body Mind 4d ago

The media player has a seizure whenever resizing in theater mode or standard it’s annoying bug.

No reliable app on TVs having to cast is just laggy and unreliable.

u/LaneOnTV 4d ago

This kills me, completely losing your place every time I move it to another monitor is the worst

u/CanoTheMonkey Body Mind 4d ago

I know the solution is “just find it again” but it’s still annoying!

u/deepasfuckbro 4d ago

It would be cool if you could allow URLs beginning with a certain address in chat (eg YouTube.com/* or reddit.com/r/paymoneywubby/*) while keeping other URLs blocked

u/Marikk15 4d ago

That isn't a Kick default, the streamer enables that feature by choice.

Wubby probably does that on purpose to now allow spam. If you send a URL, Wubby and mods can still see your message, it just wouldn't show to other chatters.

u/rb028 4d ago

Integration for Games, Lovesense, Autoblow, etc

u/DispensabIe 4d ago

Technical: Clipper here, more clipping functions especially during vods, such as clipping 3 minutes into the future.

u/Naruka1 Hog Squeezer 4d ago

Like an “Xbox, record this” feature?

u/DispensabIe 4d ago

"Xbox watch me hit dis shit". Need it to be voice activated as well.

u/-uberchemist- 4d ago

Redeem/unlock the collectible emotes with channel points

u/Bigblue12 4d ago

Fix Smart TV / Chromecast. When i work from home i chromecast to my tv and there is a delay of 30 seconds.

I cannot join in chat as im reacting 30 seconds late and i get spoiled on stream by other people's reactions.

u/flakeybutterbitch 4d ago

Do you have this issue with Twitch out of curiosity?

On my TV, I have that slight delay with both. Unsure if it a kick problem vs a service type thing?

u/Bigblue12 4d ago

I do not have this issue on twitch

u/Bigblue12 4d ago

When watching stream but im warching lets say 30 minutes behind live it will cut me off from watching when stream ends.

u/Bluepinapple 4d ago

Fix the resizing issue on the mobile app: the Mini player cropping instead of fixing zoom. When in app, small window in a large black space. Have to reset stream to fix.

Please for the love of God remove tthots and whatever other junk appears before my live followed streamer in feed ...

u/tanmaker 4d ago
  1. Allow the user to select a resolution and save it for future streams.

  2. When a window is resized or moved, the resolution is changed and the stream has to reload which is incredibly annoying. (Only tested on Windows with Firefox)

  3. Allow users to block streamers so they don't show on the homepage or recommended.

u/detsl Hog Squeezer 4d ago

When a window is resized or moved, the resolution is changed and the stream has to reload which is incredibly annoying. (Only tested on Windows with Firefox)

This is incredibly annoying when watching a VOD. Every time this happens I have no idea how long into the VOD I was and it takes forever to get back to where I left off. I usually just stop watching.

u/ROOT5488 4d ago

Every time a service like phone calls or anything that takes controls of the audio, Kick stream stops, green "go back" option pops up.

Clicking it does not restore stream, instead the entire apps requires to be closed out. This is on an s24.

u/300andWhat OG Sub 4d ago

On TV App, kick does not track vod progress

u/maccmiles 3d ago

There's an auth bug for mobile apps where OTP doesn't work correctly. I flagged it to their support in March but they didn't seem to keen on fixing their hash functions and pushed me to change my email to 'something more common'. Needless to say I can't use the mobile apps anymore, and have been in browser hell when watching streams on my phone or tablet.

u/Kraiven 4d ago

The Kick TV app that exists on certain platforms is riddled with bugs, but it is NOT existent on a lot of the most available smart TV platforms.

Samsung doesn’t have one, LG doesn’t have one, but Sony has one.

If they could have the widespread couch availability twitch has, it would be super beneficial in pulling streamers over from twitch in the future.

u/eeyore134 4d ago

Slow mode works by removing the focus from the text box you type into. Which means if you hit enter then go to type another message, even if you're not going to send it right away, then hitting the space bar will pause stream. It's super annoying.

u/MrLuthor 4d ago

on my kick tv app when i back out of stream it will autoplay a new stream and it will continue to play after i close the app

u/Morphenomena 4d ago

Actual legit and well made Roku app would be the biggest. No sign in required preferably.

u/300andWhat OG Sub 4d ago

On my tablet (Pixel tablet) it's impossible to watch Kick streams, as it's 10x quieter so can't hear anything.

u/300andWhat OG Sub 4d ago

Please allow us to log into the kick app on Google TV without having to download the Kick app on mobile.

u/DoingAHeckinRegret 4d ago

On the mobile app, it keeps auto pausing for no reason. 

u/Xenlas 4d ago

When watching a vod it doesn't remember where I left off, instead it starts at the start of the vod after refreshing the page or opening it again later.

Also while watching a vod the live chat isn't always synced up with the stream

u/Simoe5 4d ago

I know Wubby said before that he likes that kick pays him better even if it’s just from having active chatters. It allows us to help support our favorite streamer without directly having to pay out from our pockets. They should add more uses for the little channel points we generate from watching. Maybe kick could work some kind of deal where Wubby can earn small amounts from us redeeming those points.

You could add chat name colors purchasable with said points. Maybe they could add different backgrounds to unlock instead of the solid black (I don’t mind the black either though) Or maybe redeem a large amount to pin a chat message(approved by mods obv and could be so many points per character. This would also be pretty costly to do)

Chat on mobile is terrible if you’re watching full screen. It makes the stream window smaller, I’d prefer if they gave an option to make it transparent and fading scroll up like you’d see on YouTube mobile or Instagram. This might just be my preference though.

Kick also needs to stop asking me every time I get on “tell us about you” No. I’ve ignored the message every time. You need nothing from me, the only reason I open kick is to watch Wubby’s streams.

u/DwarvishDino Gape Goblin 4d ago

Is text animation already a thing for chat? Could be fun.
Oh and maybe add a volume slider for the Picture in Picture pop-out.

u/temojikato 4d ago

They should integrate tangea on their part, then they can make a "TTS" button on the kick page and fix tts badges.

This isn't as "hard" as Wubby thinks it is, if we're talking about Kick doing some actual work on the backend. It's literally just implementing the API.

u/GuyNamedFinger 4d ago

Wait they haven’t been fixed yet? I’m watching vods from june where he said he’d pass them up the ladder. Either wubby didn’t say anything or kick has a single employee

u/BrownPaperBrick Microwave 4d ago

Viewer ads? Streamers can dedicate a space on stream for viewers to pay to have an image appear for a limited amount of time, these could be moderated by channel mods and the streamer themself. Maybe it would mostly be jokes but if its moderated by streamers directly including price and duration why not put advertising directly in the streamers hands built-in.

Could this be built outside of kick? Absolutely, however if its built right into the site then payment processing, browser sourcing and moderation could all be on board.

Won't people just post boobs? Well the streamer / mods could control that.

Do I know what would this would take or if its really a good idea? No, but the thought of putting advertising directly in the hands of streamers and their communities by just firing up kick seems like a cool idea to play with, even if it winds up just memes appearing until the streamer toggles it off for their content.

Love ya say it back

u/Mulletzila 4d ago

When I am watching a VOD on my PC if I move the window from one window to another it will restart the VOD. The only way I have found around this is to open another tab and move the window while on that tab then go back to stream.

u/LarrysKnives 4d ago

Use channel points to send highlighted super chats.

u/melonbanger1 is 5'8" 4d ago

The mobile app just randomly closes on me at least twice a stream.

u/poopoobuttpenis 4d ago

Please dear god let us turn off autoplay on the main menu of the android tv app.

It blasts at like max volume whoever is on the front page if you aren't fast enough and kick streamers love earrape

u/Capybarhigh 3d ago

I wish we could disable the second factor authentication entirely. I just want to chat in funny man's stream, not reach my bank account. And the cookies never worked, ever. Logged off every week. It's just pushing people away from using the platform.

u/call_me_snuggles 3d ago

Ps5 app or TV app. Mirroring my phone to TV to watch kick sucks dick.

u/tbaker22 12h ago

Show the stream title when stream isn't live. It really would have helped today because the !title bot was broken and we had no clue there wasn't going to be a stream

u/softure 4d ago

Two related things that I miss from Twitch:

1) See a chatter's recent messages by opening their pop-up profile window

2) Be able to open that window by clicking on their username tag in a message rather than just from a message that they sent

Not sure how much of this is 7TV. I have that on both platforms.

u/genocidefactory 4d ago

Work on getting an app for viewing on PlayStation and major smart TV, having to air play from my phone gets a bit old.

u/Zeke911 4d ago

Stop asking me to "Tell us a bit about you [Username]." I'm not gonna hand over my personally identifiable information. Scrape it like the rest of em.

u/Gbastos47 4d ago

A way for Wubby to call a chatter directly. He did say it can be specific for him, so Wubby always shouts out a specific chatter to speak to him on what ever they said in chat. What if there was a way that wubby could click that chatter’s name and have a call button so they can actually talk on the stream. Instead of them reaching out to a mod saying they need their discord yada yada, this is a faster, more direct way. Kinda big stretch but never know.

u/JamesLahey 1d ago

I don't think this would be feasible. Either they'd have to integrate with discord somehow. Maybe if users linked they discord into their kick profile you could do some URL shenanigans that will open discord and start a call with whatever username when Wubby clicks it. Or they'd have to build a whole call/vidconf set up into the kick site. Would be cool though

u/Ctrlkill 4d ago

API connections and integrations.

Faster updates to game categories.

A real recommendation system with features like:
“Because you watch Wubby”
“People who watch X also watch Y”

Turn clips into a full content product. Let creators push clips directly to TikTok and YouTube Shorts.

Add a vertical, TikTok-style clips feed inside Kick, with direct access to vertical live streams.

Allow viewers to comment / like and share clips.

Improve collaboration tools with:
Combined chat.
Split-screen viewing.
Automatic links between collaborating channels.

Give smaller creators controlled exposure with something like “Give Someone New a Shot.”

Only creators under a certain threshold, such as 100 CCV, would qualify.

Kick would test those streams with small groups of viewers. If viewers click, stay, chat, or follow, the system would gradually show the stream to more people.

u/iSmellDepression Microwave 4d ago

Can we get a 21+ section that requires ID where Wubby can stream porn games?

u/Poobistan Twitch Subscriber 3d ago

Tiny minuscule bug but on mobile if you have Kick playing Picture-in-Picture and open it to full screen the stream pauses like 70% of the time and you have to manually unpause it.

u/Lydialuvss 3d ago edited 3d ago

PLEASEEEEE ask Kick to remember VOD progress on desktop. The app has VOD playback, but on desktop/browser the video plays from the beginning whenever you reload. Please, I keep losing my spot in videos when watching on my computer 🫶 Edit: some other comment mentioned remembering VOD progress across devices, which I also agree with 👏

u/Glaive83 3d ago

Hey eddie i got a piece of shit asus from office works and i know it not your fault or problem but if you cold make efforts to improve the entire websites efficiency i would appreciate it greatly.

u/Shiney_Flights 3d ago

Both the app and website are so quiet on mobile that I have to open the site in firefox (mobile) and then use a 1000% volume boost extension to even hear what Wubby is saying. It's fuckin absurd.

u/Last_Type40 OG Sub 3d ago

Reduce the size of the mobile app. Why is it that the app itself is 130mb but the documents and data is over 10gb? I literally only use it to watch wubby.

u/sanjix1 3d ago

would be cool if they had a feature that would allow you to with one click do a picture in picture when the streamer you're watching is collabing with someone else. like if wubs, peanut, carlos, and goosey were all live and playing a game, with a click we can have a small screen version where we can see what their perspective looks like at the same time.

u/TheDaftStudent OG Sub 2d ago

Better playback. Not only is audio so quiet, but if the stream is live and you rewind, it’ll skip you forward to live after 10-20 minutes. It’ll also randomly kick you out of full screen

u/DillDill0514 2d ago

u/zax13002 Twitch Subscriber 2d ago edited 1d ago

I use kick on chrome on my windows pc

Chat replay while watching vods doesn't pop up the same as when live. It loads all new messages at once every 3 seconds, instead of loading them the exact second they were sent. Having a vod chat like live chat is a better experience.

Remembering the timestamp I left a vod on. Right now it resets to the begining.

Clicking on the player window is buggy. Clicking to pause when video is playing doesn't work. Sometimes I have to click theater mode like 5 times for it to work, same with mute button

Adding all the features from mo'kick Chrome extension for kick.com and 7tv Chrome extension for twitch.com would be an IMMENSE improvement.

Scroll to pause live chat is buggy.

  • Sometimes when I scroll to the bottom to return to live chat, it pauses at that lowest message, but doesn't show new ones, and show the message "1, 2, 3 new messages"
  • when I scroll up to find a message, the scroll to pause doesn't work, and is really frustrating. I will scroll to look at a message, but as a new message is sent, these old messages will move up the corresponding number of lines. So I'm looking at old messages, but I have to keep scrolling up to see the same message. (I've had this happen when I'm looking at a very old message for several seconds, but this bug might happen in other scenarios too)
  • when I'm looking at a old message in chat, and this scrolling bug happens to me, I can scroll all the way down and back up, to fix it. But it will delete some very old messages, so I won't be able to catch up on old messages properly. This sucks when I'm trying to read multiple conversations or making long replies to long comments.

Ability for chat to submit emotes for the streamer to use. Mods can accept or deny or add notes to reason for denial or changes the emote need for acceptance

More fun options for redeeming channel points.

Ability to share vod at a certain timestamp

@ing the streamer doesn't auto fill the name

Live captions.

Ability for watching with audio only

Ability to still see my message if it was automatically "deleted by moderator". And knowing what word or phrase triggered it would be great. (I know it can be used to evade the system, but at the same time, It helps me to know "hey, don't talk about that thing" or this is a "bad" word. Also I really hate not being able to recover that message, especially if I put alot of thought and time into it, and its a long message, and I'm not able to alter it to the community guidelines or copy and paste to a friend privately)

Make the x1, x2, x3, etc daily watch streak multiplier (for the daily collectable emote) actually mean something or have some effect, besides just being a number on a screen.

They already added the schedule section but we know wubby will not use it, so if they add a 'Usually starts at' using your local time so you don't have to play the timezone game, it may be useful. They already have the data, why not use it?

Yes, the regulars already know his schedule for most of the days, but this could help the newer people.

On my end, I’m an iPhone user and when on mobile I watch thru the browser instead of the app. When I try to play the stream in the background it stops and I have to go back to the browser and restart the stream. Same thing happens when locking my phone, the stream stops and I have to restart it. This is the only website where I have this issue with stream or video content, it’d be super nice to not have to do that all of the time. It’s also why I miss the streams on kick because it’s just too much of a hassle to deal with the mobile player.

u/HicHaddock 4d ago

A custom channel skin, similar to how twitch does for sponsored streams, but it can be designed by the streamers

Bug in Apple TV - the video does not play full screen. It seems the video is only about 90% of the full screen size and it leaves black bars on the left, bottom, and right of the TV.

Also, the latency is so bad compared to the Twitch app. It’s regularly 30+ seconds behind “live”

u/Trittles 4d ago

The bezel for the Apple TV app takes like a whole inch of my big TV of just black. The vods don’t do this, idk why live does.

u/Psychodellic07 Bus Passenger 4d ago

Kick streams on desktop sometimes lags behind streams on mobile, using same wifi in the same room

u/clearhit Gape Goblin 4d ago

audio only mode actually would be nice, especially on mobile.

u/0Kota0 4d ago

Loading times is a main one. From launch of the app, clearing the first pop up, scrolling to follows, clicking wubby and waiting for the vod/stream to load. It can be upwards of 2/3 minutes if not longer and I’m on an iPhone 17 pro max. Also, if I’m in chat awaiting wubbys arrival and he goes live, I get no notification 75% of the time and when I go to switch to the live, it’s black and won’t load.

u/0Kota0 4d ago

I also sometimes launch the app and I’m prompted to login, after closing the app and relaunching, it signs in and works normally.

u/renabeans Wub Babe 4d ago

Expanded chatter identity customization for sure. The route I’m thinking of is like customizable abilities similar to how MySpace/tumblr could be edited using html. The vision that comes to mind are the sparkly and flashing early 2000s bling aesthetic jpegs, being able to do something like that could be so fun.

u/Mysterious_Score_650 4d ago

it'd be nice if the daily spin for an emote just respun instead of giving points to the global level badge that doesn't matter.

That and kick being on LGTV would be nice are honestly all that bothers me much

u/Relentless_Rain 4d ago

I watch from the kick app on my phone the most. Lately when I am scrolling something else with a small kick window it messes up the screen, either the screen is blown up or goes black. When I click back into watch stream at full screen, the screen goes black or doesn't load and I have to reload.

I would also love a TV app on my Samsung Smart TV so I don't have to use my laptop or phone. Sometimes I just wanna kick back on my bed and have kick up on my TV. I do this often with twitch.

u/CALC-YOULATER 4d ago

My live chat runs like 5 full seconds BEFORE stream.

I see chat reacting before I hear the joke. Super lame. Then everything i type is out of context because we move on fast.

u/CALC-YOULATER 4d ago

Late or no notification, super irritating.

Currently have the mini player up on my phone and I can only see top left corner of stream. Happens almost every time.

u/FergTurdison 4d ago

Blocking a channel should be tied to your account. I find it absurd that blocks are cached to your current session and not permanent.

For example: if you have the app on multiple devices (e.g phone, tablet, TV) and you block a channel on your phone, that channel will not be blocked on your other devices. It has to be blocked on each device individually to have it stop being recommended to you on the front page.

Also, channels that you do follow should appear in a consistent spot on the front page. Every time Wubby goes live, I have to hunt for where he’s been placed on the front page

u/a6inchturtle is 5'8" 4d ago

Every week the site logs me out from Firefox, then requires me clearing the cache specifically for Kick in order to log back in.

Also +1 for resizing issues, it makes the whole player freak the fuck out and freeze on mobile and on desktop.

The Apple TV app needs to have a setting to disable AutoPlay (audio & video) when it opens to their home page.

u/Alone_Weakness1557 4d ago

Basically a built in tangia and tts option when gifting or something like that

u/Upper-Matter6814 4d ago

Anytime I'm watching a vod of kick on mobile and have it in picture n picture mode, when I try to go back into the app it completely freezes and crashes. And when he's live and rewind it, I could be watching for 30 mins and it stops telling me it ended or something, or every hour it's doing it. No rhyme or reason just shits the bed. Also having to watch thru the web browser on Xbox is aids.

u/littlecaesars 4d ago

Working an integration between Kick and Warren James or some vendor to do a merch drop for the Subathon exclusively. Have it where subs get discounts, and non-subs can basically gift themselves subs by buying merch above a certain dollar amount. Have it where it links the Kick account to the merch store for verification or something and that way people are incentivized to either sub for a discount, or buy and get a sub. Can work for other streamers on the platform too maybe idk. Luv u

u/Swagprophit 4d ago

When I am watching on mobile and have to pause or lose connection to the internet the video crashes and I am unable to reload or interact with the video till I either load another video or restart the app.

u/anonbrewingco 4d ago

If you have an alarm or timer go off it’ll say an error occurred and you have to close out the app.

When watching a previous vod while wubby is live, the error will also occur if wubby goes offline while watching a vod

u/FunkyLumps 4d ago

On iOS, if an alarm goes off or the feed gets interrupted it stops the vod, will not resume and I have to kill the app and relaunch.

u/gwedosmile 4d ago

On Apple TV the stream will be smaller than the size of the TV screen leaving black bars around the whole stream area. Sometimes the bars are bigger and sometimes they are smaller and sometimes not there at all and the stream is full screen. There is no consistency in how it will display the stream.

u/divensi 4d ago

YES +1 report on the black bars on Apple TV

Also on Apple TV if you are watching a stream and press home, then after a couple of hours (or even the next day) open it again, the app thinks you kept watching all that time and shows a “are you still watching?” screen.

u/Anamatroy 4d ago

If I’m watching delayed on iPad, when Wubby ends stream, the playback ends, it should let me keep watching my delayed stream. And when I click to the Vod, it doesn’t know where I was in the stream before Wubby ended, so I lose my place

u/Anamatroy 4d ago

When I take my AirPods off watching iPad, stream autoplays on speaker. No other video player behaves this way and is annoying

u/lemonylol Twitch Subscriber 4d ago

Vods don't save their progess

u/ItsKamWithAK 4d ago

Anyone else have the problem where you take a call while watching on mobile and as soon as your call connects it unpauses stream

u/scrotty544 4d ago

Minor gripe but on mobile when in full screen it only full screens 1 way, it will not flip to the other side, so if I want to use my cases kick stand (Samsung wallet case) I have to watch stream upside down (I don't do that but my other option is leaning it against something or laying it flat.) I don't have my screens orientation locked.

u/Naruka1 Hog Squeezer 4d ago

Maybe a feature that tells streamers which state or country their viewers are watching from?

This would allow creators to organise events more effectively if they were to do something in public.

u/radraz26 4d ago

Kick on roku

u/Osudude5 4d ago

win10, firefox: when opening stream and when dragging window to secnd monitor and when changing quality from auto to 1080, player crashes and i have to pause/play or refresh page to make it work

u/slickfishsticklicker 4d ago

On IOS app, watching VOD at 1.25 or 1.5x speed makes the audio sound distorted or echo-y. This doesn’t seem to be an issue if I’m watching on pc.

u/sadveggiet0t 4d ago
  1. long press to reply to chats on app similar to twitch, currently you have to click on their name, scroll down, and click reply
  2. sub trains!!
  3. be able to change playback speed on Sony TV app
  4. notifications for when you get gifted a sub. currently have to check on desktop for who i’m subbed to (or see my sub badge while in chat) and who gifted it to me.

u/sumnernipples 4d ago

Android app, consistent issues across multiple devices:

Watching stream on wifi, leave wifi reception, stream stops, mobile data takes over, stream screen remains paused/black or shows an error message. Will not play until the app is closed and restarted.

App does not remember previously selected stream quality.

If I have wubbys kick chat open before stream starts, then get the live notification and tap it, it opens to the stream but it is stuck black and the app needs to be restarted.

u/Weird_Snowman 4d ago

Is there an app available for Google Chrome? I would love to be able to cast from my phone to other devices like Chromecast.

u/Serkulio 4d ago

Mod Social Credit System (back end feature that lets mods +2 messages, Wubby can see users that accumulate high score and either ban them or compliment them depending on his mood)

u/LtNdrew Hog Squeezer 4d ago

It would be cool if full screen on mobile could flip with the phone instead of being locked one way

u/pookiepoo94 4d ago

For Xbox App:

Proper video scrubbing, aka allowing us to rewind so we can restart stream if necessary or rewind 30 minutes.

u/COMPETITIVE_RAClSM 4d ago

When I'm watching the live stream but I'm behind and trying to catch up in 2x speed the player will occasionally just load to live for some reason. Would be nice to see fixed

u/Hadrian076 Twitch Subscriber 4d ago

The app does not remember my chosen quality between streams, I often am on data and try to use the lite quality option, but it switches back every stream

u/-aly_cat- Wub Babe 4d ago

On desktop, the audio slider will get stuck, not letting me turn up or down the volume. Very annoying & when looking it up I just get suggestions of downloading a whole extension for kick audio.

u/MahtDaymen 4d ago

On mobile: open stream, buffers for a second if not on wifi, app crashes and logs me out. Happens once a week. Kick seems to log me out on all devices as well except my tablet

u/SeinenIF 4d ago

Please god Samsung tv app

u/fireawesome 4d ago

On Android, whilst listening on any Bluetooth headphones, pausing using my headphones (e.g. tapping once on my earbuds) only pauses the stream for ~0.5 seconds.

u/shufflesammich 4d ago

It would be very cool if I could get a free sub because I already subscribe to Patreon.

u/Seth084 4d ago

When you click on a chat thread to see all the replies, like 99% of the time it just gives an error and won't load any of the thread.

u/Matthew2531_46 4d ago

More TTHots on the home page

u/SandTrapUltima 4d ago

Give a way for chatters to interact with you via the Kick platform beyond just chatting.

u/SaintLicious 4d ago

Am I the only one with a firestick?  That's how I watch both twitch and kick in my tv

u/Stonez01 2d ago

Allow a streamer to set cumulative sub goals. Would be good for things like charity subs or subathons

u/YouGurt_MaN14 Gape Goblin 4d ago

7tv emote support like purpleTV (mod app for Twitch) does

u/nouwta 4d ago

Include a tamagotchi that you use chat channel points to feed. And you have to revisit and watch the stream or Vod to play with it. Each streamer can include their own art for the levels.

u/Qbigs 4d ago

What about the option to "self host" streams using the kick infrastructure to be able to stream nudity and other stuff without advertisers being affected. instead of being payed with Ads, self hosted streams would be billed by the minute or whatever.

u/amber395 4d ago

One guy badge. Brand them lol

u/wise_beyond_my_beers 4d ago

i don't have any suggestions
