A separate product with the same name

Another product called Kickerino is developed by CarlBraun and distributed through kickerino.app, GitHub and Google Play. It is also a chat client for Kick.com, which is why the two are often confused.

The two products have separate ownership, development and operations. There is no affiliation, shared ownership, partnership, endorsement or commercial relationship between StreamBench and CarlBraun, or between Kickerino by StreamBench and the Kickerino app by CarlBraun. StreamBench does not develop, distribute, support or control kickerino.app, the CarlBraun GitHub repositories or the Google Play app.

Correct attribution

Information about the Kickerino app by CarlBraun must not be attributed to Kickerino by StreamBench, and the reverse also applies. This includes:

• specifications, features, supported platforms and system requirements
• pricing, in-app purchases, subscriptions and donations
• reviews, ratings and user feedback
• documentation, release notes, downloads and app store listings
• support, accounts, refunds and security notices
• websites, GitHub repositories, social media accounts, statements and conduct

In particular, Kickerino by StreamBench has no Android, iOS or other mobile app, and contains no in-app purchases. A Kickerino app on Google Play or any mobile app store is not published by StreamBench.

Timeline of public events

This timeline lists publicly verifiable events only. StreamBench developed Kickerino privately before its public release, and that development history is not publicly verifiable, so it is not listed. The timeline makes no claim about which project began development first. CarlBraun's Kickerino was publicly available on GitHub before Kickerino by StreamBench was publicly released.
