Review Summary

Users appreciate Twitch Server Checker for reducing lag by directing streams to better servers like the Korean server, improving viewing experience. However, multiple users report issues like servers showing as 'Unknown', continued buffering despite server changes, crashes after system updates, and persistent prompts to purchase premium versions. Some wish for persistent server display during streams to monitor connections. Overall, it is a useful tool but has reliability and usability problems that affect streaming quality.

Pros

  • Helps reduce Twitch lag by switching to servers with better connection, especially the Korean server.
  • Easy to use and appreciated by users who experience Twitch streaming issues.
  • Acts as a useful tool when other similar programs fail or do not operate properly.
  • Provides server change notifications that users find helpful.
  • Pro version is available and some users find it very good.

Cons

  • The extension sometimes displays the server as 'Unknown', leading to user confusion and streaming issues persisting.
  • Users report buffering issues even when the server shows as Korea or other locations, indicating possible inaccuracies or ineffective switching.
  • Frequent server switching during viewing is reported, and users want persistent server name display for convenience.
  • The program may crash or stop working properly after computer or Chrome updates.
  • There are indications of forced premium payment prompts for slow servers, frustrating some users.
