Twitch Rewatcher

With an application named Twitch-Rewatcher, it's pretty clear that you're getting yourself a video downloader, basically. Nothing surprising at this point, yet this application does a bit more than that. It provides the possibility of downloading Twitch VODs (Video On Demand) including the chat stream on the right of the video. This way, if you've missed an important stream, it will almost feel as if it were live.

The most disappointing aspect regarding this app is probably the way it looks. It feels as if it was put together temporarily like when they assemble a vehicle to check all parts fit before actually painting it. The buttons are violently square, as is the rest of the interface. Everything seems to have embraced a functional style. The black and white contrast only makes things worse. Still, with such tools, you're more after its functionality and not how it looks. Besides, this can very easily be fixed by putting in a couple of hours in the visual department.

The most important feature, as advertised by the developer, is that together with your stream, you'll also be getting the chat activity that had developed during that particular session. You'll be able to see things people posted as they had in reality during the stream. These elements are perfectly synchronized and give you the feeling of actually watching a live stream. You can use it as a downloader if you're only interested in the video itself. It would be a shame, though, as the context would be different from the original one.

Thus, Twitch-Rewatcher is a pretty ugly application with interesting functionality. It manages to focus on what it offers and less on how it looks. While in general looks usually match the content, we can clearly say that here they are deceiving. As a result, if you're not too worried about how the app presents itself, you should definitely try the application for catching up on any missed streams.
