A few bugs, but overall a good app. I just recently got the Xbox Series S, so I downloaded this app thinking it would communicate with the Xbox very well, however there are a few problems I’ve been encountering since I used the old gen Xbox One. When I go to “manage console and games” and it says it’s on, when I turn it off, it doesn’t do anything. It stays on no matter how long I wait, and I can’t remotely connect to the Xbox to turn it off that way either. Also, when someone sends you message in the Xbox app, it won’t show in the conversation even after you refresh it, you have to restart the app. Now, I do love the remote play feature and when it does work, it plays pretty smoothly and works well for me. I like the “launch on console” feature because it works well and it gets me to the tame fast, which is nice. Overall a good app, but it just needs a little more fixing for me.

Xbox One App is..... okay?!. I started using the Xbox App because I wanted to try out the Remote Feature on it and it was pretty good and all being able to move on the screen and things like that, but then it became useless to me I obviously use a controller now and using the remote would just be for fun or no reason at all, but here is something they should add, being able to see your controller battery and maybe headset battery if you have a wireless one like myself. It would be that feature that would be useful for people who might not have a charger or then just wanting to know what it’s at because they could buy batteries or they could buy things that would be based off of that feature. The app sometimes is buggy and won’t let me get in but usually it’s pretty good, I don’t use the Xbox App too much because theirs usually nothing interesting I’d need to see on it, but that’s just my opinion so whatever you guys use it for would be good and all but I don’t see myself using that much, but for the people who do use it i will give this a 4 star but if that feature got added I will gladly change my rating

Really good way to connect to gaming on the go. As long as you have the app updated you can do play games remotely which is really cool when I’m not in the room I can still pull out my phone and join my friends in sea of thieves or start up a new campaign in a single player game. As well as I can check to see who’s online when I’m at work so I can plan on who to play with and what game we are playing when I get home. The achievement tracker is great, I have enjoyed the new feature as well as showing me the ones I’ve earned making me feel happy. Also I use the chat very often whether it’s party chat or just messaging people it’s really easy to communicate now in the app than having to sign into your console and message back. But I can also join a party while I’m driving home like a phone call. Honestly I don’t even know what else they can do with this app there’s already everything I need in it

The new update:. I used to be able to navigate the app before the new update. I didn’t know there was one until I checked the app after a while and it looked garbage. The categories are all messed up, I can’t even find the game I play in the search bar for games, because it’s another version of the game but this app used to show it in the search. I don’t even know where any of the old gamer point comparison sections went or are located, and everything is watered down in a way that somehow makes it more confusing. My library says that I have one game in it, though I’ve never bought the game it listed, and the library doesn’t list the actual game I’m playing, even though the game is listed as something I’ve played recently on my profile. I can’t even see who my followers are, because I don’t know how to get tothat section. All in all, this update was utter garbage. The older interface could be a little confusing at some points, but this interface is even more confusing and terrible than the older one. I also had a glitchy sign in, where even though I put the right password, and the enter password screen went down, it would jump up again after less than a second of actually seeing the app. I had to uninstall and reinstall the app to fix that problem. I wasn’t putting in the wrong password, it didn’t say what I was putting in was incorrect.

Security and new update. Normally I wouldn’t write reviews but this app was ok until this morning. I was trying to go on the app and it had me put my password, not so bad right? I was ok with it but after I put in the password it made me do it again and again so I decided to reset my phone. So, after I did that I went back on to the app and it’s was super slow and it still made me keep doing my password, so I went to go log out but, after I push any button it makes me do my password AGAIN oh and I did try to push the cancel button but the Microsoft sign in thing popped up AGAIN. Now on to the update. I HATE it the only thing good about it is where the captures are but you can’t change your photo, bio, or location anymore, I mean you might be able to but I have looked over the map. I guess the online offline thing is kinda good but like it’s hard to remember if u have it online or offline without checking which is fine I guess but still. But also, the app takes way to long to load now it was fine back before the update happened actually it was WAY better before it happened, so even if you guys wouldn’t change it back please do and patch the bug that isn’t letting me put my password in.

Convenient - Update. I love this app! It has all the essentials for an on the go gamer. There's only one small issue that I've noticed and compared to the rest of the amazing features, it's a relatively small gripe. Nonetheless, the messaging system within the app works wonderfully but it also contains the only thing that bugs me. It's very time consuming to cleanup or delete old messages. Having to slide left and delete them all individually takes quite a while if you receive messages frequently. Also the difference in text color between a new message and a message marked as "read" is so subtle that it becomes difficult to locate unread messages when trying to cleanup notifications. My suggestions: Install a feature that will let the user select multiple messages at a time and delete them or mark as read. Change the color of the font on new messages and read messages to something more drastic. Perhaps a green text for new messages and white text for read messages. Overall, as I stated in the beginning, I love this app! And I believe updating the messaging system will only increase my enjoyment and ease of use for everyone. Cheers! PS - I pre-installed Destiny 2 with this app and I'm waiting patiently to regain my Light when the clock hits midnight! Xbox, the best place to play Destiny 2 hands down! Console exclusives don't hold a candle to our community. Find me in the EDZ, guardians. Gamer tag: Surelok

It’s simply ok.. Overall, the app ever since the update looks and feels pretty sleek. However, there are a lot of smaller issues with it. The biggest issue that I have with it is that Microsoft removed the ability to change your profile picture from the app. There was honestly no point in doing this, since there was nothing wrong with it in the first place. Now, if you want to change your profile picture, you need to get a USB and plug it into your Xbox, wait for it to actually upload, and then you can change it. What was wrong with the old system of simply going into your camera roll on the app then choosing one that way? Another issue is that the app takes a decent amount of time to load, and sometimes won’t even load everything at once (such as your captures). There are also some smaller bugs, such as the app stating that people are offline when they aren’t. However, there are some good things about it (such as the addition of remote play), but in my opinion, they don’t outweigh the negatives. Overall, if you own an Xbox, you might as well get it, but don’t expect a perfect experience.

They took a huge step BACKWARDS. I have had the Xbox app for a year now. It is quite convenient for people like me who like accessibility options in a app. However it their newest update. They changed one of the best features in the Xbox app, the ability to change your gamer pic to a custom gamer pic from your phone with ease. It couldn’t have been any simpler. You add a picture into your phones picture library. Then you go to your profile in the app, hit customize profile, and then all you had to do was choose the picture. I know it’s not impossible to change your gamer picture to a custom one, but still they had no reason to complicate this feature. Microsoft, if your reading this, then just put the profile customization back the way it was on the Xbox app. While I must say some of the new long awaited features such as knowing when a game has downloaded is great. But I still want to have the ability to change my gamer pic to spongebob dabbing on Ali A’s head without having to buy a usb.

Smh…. I have 300mps internet and my clips won’t even load. That wouldn’t be a problem if I didn’t get banned from downloading clips. For whatever reason, messaging someone that they are bad at a video game is a sin, so they banned me from messaging, saving clips, and joining parties. Kinda annoying the punishment doesn’t fit the crime. They should have banned me from messaging people and that’s it. No reason I can’t save a clip or join my friends party. I also am annoyed at other things. I’m very glad I can see my stats and my friends stats, but I cant see them side by side. I have to go back and fourth to see how much ahead of my friends I am. I also can’t change my name. I used to be able to change my account name in the settings, but they removed that feature and the Microsoft website doesn’t let me either. So my name is always going to be the same. Last complaint is the look of the app. It’s pretty plain. It’s not in 4K or anything. Not a huge deal but it would make me enjoy it more. My rating is gonna be 2 stars until they fix at least one of these things. 💚

New Update - WORST POSSIBLE APP. Where is the store portion of the app?! I am trying to browse games and can only search, and when I search for “ghost” I get every game with ghost in the description, in no discernible order. I do not get titles with Ghost listed first. I have a huge tile for Minecraft on the top of my page. I would never play Minecraft. I’m an adult trying to spend my money, but you want to make it harder. There are no options to customize the layout or to put stuff I care about on the screen. I don’t care what my friends are playing. In fact, friends are what I’m avoiding by playing Xbox. Are you trying to remind me how much I miss society? I am trying to buy a game! Are you making it harder for me to purchase through the app?! I can see no way to browse for games. I’ve checked. Did you guys acquire the five dumbest chimps you could find, put them in a room with crayons and a disco ball, then say “draw our new interface!”?!?! I don’t care what my friends are playing. I don’t even like most of my friends, but at least they didn’t design this app. This is AWFUL.

Great app... just a suggestion.. I love using this app when i am away from home to view clips, read and respond to messages but there is one thing i believe would be an amazing addition to the app. We all know the xbox one was designed to be the ultimate home console for both games an media, but how about security? I know the xbox ones kinnect was discontinued however it could regain some popularity with the ability to view what the kinnect sees when you are away from home. I just recently adopted a puppy and currently am looking into security cameras for the house so i can check up on my boy when im away from home. It would be an amazing feature to be able to open the app and see whats going on in my livingroom. I doubt this idea would be implemented however if it was, i believe a lot of people will want to get their hands on the kinnect again. Aside from my suggestion, i love the app and if this idea is considered and applied, i would change my rating from 4 stars to 5.

Tragically disappointing. This app is one of the most poorly written apps I have used. Microsoft is a fantastic company. The Xbox live functionality on their console system is superb. However, this app doesn’t function at all like its console counterpart. The “Active Friends” status is rarely accurate, even when you “pull down” to refresh status. My friends and I love to play Forza using a racing wheel. Since the wheel doesn’t have a headset jack, we use this app to talk. On console, we can join each other’s game or party without an invite. It just works. In the app, it will not. We usually have to text each other to send an invite. If you join the party on console first, the app will not allow voice communication despite being in the party. If you try and send an invite, it won’t allow it because they are already a party member. So you have to leave the party, text your friend to send an invite, then you can finally talk. If you accept the invite, and the app errors out (message saying “something went wrong” which is often does), you are forced to kill the app, reopen it and if you click on the invite, it will not work because the invite is no longer valid. So a party member has to resend the invite. 90% of out conversations begin with the phrase “Did I mention that I HATE this app?”! What’s even worse is this app used to work really well. It’s been horrible for over a year. This app makes Microsoft look bad.

New update adds what?. The new updates adds remote play from your phone?! Uh what, google stadia is gonna get absolutely destroyed if Xbox decides to keep updating it. I have a base Xbox one and an iPhone XR and I was able to play some single player games and navigate the menus fine. Within reason obviously, there was a slight delay due to the nature of streaming it but it still felt very very very good to play once I got use to it. And tbh I wouldn’t want to play an intensive multiplayer game or anything like that would probably cause issues to arise like long loading screens and the sorts, as I said I’m using a base Xbox one so maybe the new generation doesn’t even have issues like that. 🙏🙏from the Xbox crew, this app doesn’t feel like a fan made companion app anymore, you’re able to physically operate your device and I’m pretty sure there’s even a remote feature for operating the menus of Xbox If you don’t have you’re controller. Ez I’m not taking this app off my phone unless they take away the remote play. Rip to other phone games. Rip to google stadia. 🪦

Awesome app, just can’t upload profile pictures anymore😤. It’s an awesome app to use to keep up with stuff on your profile but just recently I have been having a problem where I go to change my profile pic and when I change the current pic to the one that I want on my phone it says to upload then I upload it but then it say error it’s not able to be uploaded right now try again later. So I try later and even the next day and it still won’t work. And if your saying I change my profile pic to much I don’t I’ve only changed it 3 times in the past to years. And I’m on an iPhone XR and my internet is fine but some people are already experiencing this bug so please Microsoft... please fix this. I’d love to have the ability to change my profile pic back please. Other than that the app is above average so it would be 5 stars but there are some minor bugs like the one I discussed.👍🏻

Ran into many problems. I love this app, but it doesn’t deserve its rating that it currently has. One is that you need internet to just connect to the app. Which even then just makes the app glitchy. Another reason is that you can’t customize your own profile picture anymore. I read articles that explain that there is a bug that you guys can’t really fix and that you are working on it. I get that, but it’s been 6 weeks...? I just find that annoying. And when you don’t have internet with the Xbox app and you watch clips it gets all glitchy, it freezes on one point of the screen. Another problem I ran into while using this app is when you delete to many clips it just says you don’t have any. Then you need to exit the app and go back in, you should just be able to delete the clips you want without any problems. But if you are planning on fixing the app for once please fix these things, I think it would make the Xbox community really happy if you just fixed what we asked for, you want the 5 star rating right?

Reporting Two Bugs. I’ve been trying to use this app for the three months but it’s a serious problem. The app has a bug where it won’t launch and you’ll be stuck with an infinite loading circle on your screen. After restarting the app well over fifty times it has refused to work so I tried reinstalling it and that didn’t work either. My second problem is that the party chat continuously cuts in and out making it incredibly difficult to communicate with people because I have ask them repeatedly what they said. I have a brand new IPhone XR so it’s not my iPhone. My internet is fine and I’ve even tried it with my mobile data and it still won’t work. I even had my friend try it too and he says it cuts in and out. Even when I unplug my head phones from my phone it still won’t make a sound until a few minutes later. Please fix this bug, it was working perfectly until a few weeks ago. You try to add new updates and try to make do more things but it shouldn’t need too. Your console is perfectly fine and your app was fine until you screwed it up. I love your console but there’s no need to try and battle with PS4 anymore. At this point its based on personal preference of the consumer and not whether the console runs faster or not. If they want a faster console then they can get the S or the X or the New one when it comes out. Stop trying to make change it. This app doesn’t deserve a 4.7 rating because it has so many huge bugs

BRING BACK CLUBS. The big change few years ago really hurt what was most important about the app. The newer format is easy too navigate, which is nice. But taking away access to clubs was a terrible mistake. I haven’t interacted with clubs since then, besides the occasional screenshot posts. But far as getting together & being able to chat or setup meets in racing games or joining car cruises in Forza Horizon, you really have to do it from a controller- who likes chatting from a controller when you could do it so much easier/ faster on the app. It was amazing before- PLEASE put in a patch for club access, it could just be under “social” or whatever, just bring it back. Playing/interacting together has more players spending more money to play the same games/ DLC’s. All clubs have been dead since that app update few years ago. It’s very annoying to doing it with controller or viewing content only on pc or console when you could be playing the game. Before I could be on break at work and see a scheduled car meet for later in the day, or post to a club from my phone……

By mistake. I have already filed a report on the online verification process and I unknowingly didn’t enter my recovery email correctly when I initially input my recovery account and since then to my knowledge I haven’t even got a response to confirm weather or not that I could switch my recovery account to the actual account I have also I don’t understand how the account I incidentally entered could even work for the fact that the account doesn’t even exist to my knowledge at least so please get back to me this time so I can use this wonderful app. One other thing that doesn’t make much since is that when I do enter my Microsoft email and password it asked for my account to be verified due to it supposedly having suspicions activity but won’t tell me what that specific action was nor does it give me any information at all about my activity or action that caused my account to me removed from the mobile app when I’ve had my Xbox account for over a decade since the Xbox 360 was my only console at the time. If anyone who isn’t from the Microsoft staff that has incite or knows of a way to fix this issue because I’ve tried everything including going to the Xbox support website that didn’t even help only because I don’t remember much of what I entered when I first upgraded to Xbox one since that was roughly 8 years ago I have a Xbox year one addition with 1TB of storage that I got for my birthday. So please let me know how I can resolve this issue.

Buggiest App Created by Microsoft Ever!. The app breaks down and has to be completely restarted EVERY time you receive a phone call or an alarm goes off on your phone. The app breaks down and has to be restarted even if you choose to ignore a phone call you receive! I literally NEVER write reviews but this application has been SO INCREDIBLY buggy I felt I had to give feedback. This is hands down the worst product I’ve ever used that is produced by Microsoft. The application also randomly shifts between using the speaker mode and using the hands-on mode when talking to people using the Xbox app making it incredibly frustrating when you are in the middle of a game trying to hear your teammate and all of a sudden your teammates voices are cut down to a whisper because your xbox app messed up again. Bottom line, I got this app to be able to talk to my friends on Xbox live without a mic, and if you are trying to use the application for the same thing be prepared to deal with a lot of frustration. My advice, don’t use the app and just go buy a mic and save yourself hours of frustration dealing with one of the world’s buggiest apps. Yeah

I have one thing to say. There’s a ton of problems with the app in the new update but theres lots of other people writing reviews so I won’t take twenty minutes of my day to go on a rant about the app because honestly it’s not worth it. However there is one thing that I absolutely hate about the update and have no idea why they got rid of it. You Literally Cannot Customize Your Game Picture Anymore. Nor can you send pictures to people in messages. Normally I wouldn’t care about this since I don’t want to change my gamer picture, however one of my friends in order to spite me used this update to change my gamer picture and now I can’t change it back, I have to use a default picture. Which in fact is a real bummer. I like to have the freedom to customize my profile in any kind of social media. And no matter what you say Xbox is undoubtedly a social media, you can text, send game clips,(used to be able to send pictures), you can talk, and some other things but people don’t usually use these because Xbox is a console and is generally used for gaming. I can mind the glitches with the new update but I cannot overlook the fact that they have completely done away with a key feature in the profile customization. All in all I believe they should scrap this new update and revert it to the previous one.

Good concept, but incredibly broken.. The Xbox app is amazing the first time you see it. You can access you account on the go and do so many things. However, the app’s downfalls become apparent very soon. First of all, you need a wifi connection to access the app, it will not work with cellular data. So, the whole aspect of xbox on the go is completely thrown out of the window. Secondly, you’ll be very luck if you can actually use the app. For at least one week out of the month the app just doesn’t work. You try to launch it, but you are met with either a blank green screen or a n infinite loading wheel. I’ve tried restarting, redownloading, and even costumer support, but nothing can fix it. Over time it will just fix itself and one day you’ll try to launch the app and it will just work for no reason just as suddenly as it stopped working. My final issue it the built in keyboard. Xbox has a wonderful system that detects the keyboard on your xbox and allows you to type on your phone. This is great for multiplayer games with a chat system. However, like the app itself this feature is very spotty. Sometimes the keyboard on the app will just stop popping up and it won’t ever pop up for the next week to month. Then it will just magically fix itself again. There are also tons of little bugs that litter that app that at sometimes, makes the app completely unusable. The Xbox app definitely doesn’t deserver the 4.7 out of 5 that it currently has.

Notifications & voice memos. I actually really like this app, it works for exactly what I need of it, chats and parties for a little while until I can use my console… the only problem I have with this app is when I’m using the chat feature, as the messages come through, the app sends out a notification. Obviously I want to be notified whenever a new chat comes through- but NOT while I’m already in the chatroom. This isn’t a major issue for me, since I can cut off notifications and just manually check the chats every now and then, it’s just a mild inconvenience is all. Voice memos is just a feature I would like to see implemented into the app, Instagram & Snapchat have voice memo like features (example of it being possible to put into an app) and the console version is a handy feature to have, if it’s possible to use the mic for parties, then adding voice memos to the app version as well seems like the correct next step. I’m not an app developer, and I know absolutely nothing about the industry, I am a consumer, and I know that honestly??- we really don’t care about comparing achievements on our phones, we want smooth, portable communication with our Xbox friends….

Been done but a giant bug for Xbox app users. So,Me and my friends use the Xbox app all to the in order to change our profile picture lately but every time I go to change it and upload the picture I get an error saying we cannot upload “anything right now” please try again later. And that has been going on for a week and you haven’t heard about the problem either the error is just at my side and not anyone else who has the Xbox app. But I do advise I can say that can you please try to figure out what’s wrong and why we can’t change our profile pictures to the custom ones I recently just stayed up till 3:00 making a profile picture just to get The holy grale of my first error on the app. And I have a very stable internet connection and should have no problem doing anything WiFi related. If Xbox support or any Microsoft management read this report please try to get this done I know your dealing with a Xbox error we’re it shows everyone offline sometimes but once you fix that problem can you please consider on fixing this. Thank you for your time.

Perfect for gamers with good WiFi. I LOVE this app. Never mind that’s an overstatement. I like this app. I myself am a second Generation gamer. My dad played the very first Halo, Halo: CE when it was on CPU. Now, I play Halo Master Chief and Destiny 2, as well as other iconic games like Rocket League, Apex Legends, Battlefront 2, and Minecraft. I LOVE gaming. Sadly, my WiFi cannot support the remote streaming. I am also disappointed that you cannot fully access the Microsoft store. There are some minor details that I wish this app had as well such as the craptastic controller that you can use on your phone. However, I do like that you can download apps to your Xbox remotely. You can also access all pics and videos remotely as well. Like my friend (Tag: Genxman212) will share his tags with me all the time through the app. This app is good for people who are on vacation or people whose jobs do not require constant attention like firefighters or police officers. This app needs a lot of tweaking but it definitely has lots of potential. My tag is stinkych33Ze shoot me a text and we can hop into an Apex Legends game. Please consider my opinion Microsoft. Peace out!

New look.... While the new look is sleek I feel the old layout was more user friendly but time will tell if it is. Now for as the reason of the low star rating is due multiple issues example of two issues first being the data and information for the majority of the time either does not refresh or show accurate information ie you can be on your console and see who’s on where as the app might show who’s on or it might display someone online but if you click profile or access a message they would display offline but if you go back to the friends list it will still display online another issue or lack of feature is they have removed the option of the store or game pass game with the new UI granted since the game pass as a separate app that is understandable for game pass although I think it would be nice to have a version integrated in the app that way users only need one app instead of two apps not to mention that the remote feature input rarely responds I could be trying to press a none stop and may 1 out of 20 time I could receive input

Loving the new redesign!. Ever since the update went live, I’ve been digging this new user interface and the ability to easily share your captures very intuitively and downloading games to your console before you choose to purchase it digitally or via disc, so you can play the game on day one instantly. However, there are some additional features I’d like to have in there as well. The Xbox Store isn’t in here to discover new games. Though searching for a game to download is easy, I think adding more detail, like the current store on Xbox One / Series X/S would be a plus. Next, the onscreen keyboard. I did hear that using your phone to type your message straight to your console was coming, but it’d be nice to incorporate that somehow seamlessly. And also for 360 games, I noticed you can’t download them to console yet? Not sure if that’s a work in progress, but that’d be nice to add alongside original Xbox games too. Other than that, I love this new design and can’t wait for many more updates to make this next gaming experience much better!

Remote Play does not work. I downloaded the Xbox App specifically for the remote play feature, but every time I fix one of the problems, a new one came up. (Bluetooth Controller connected to the (CONSOLE???) required then Bluetooth Controller needs to be updated then internet is “too slow” for streaming (which there’s no way to fix)) It said that I could do the streaming thing at home or something like that, but nowhere else. But my phone requires me to click ‘enable’ on the Xbox. But it won’t show up on the screen again. So I had to go to settings to try and test the connection again and now it doesn’t let me enable. And the first time, it said it could be enabled, but it never enabled. So then I try it again, then it doesn’t even show up on the screen. So I go to settings to try and manually do it. That’s when I come across all these different errors, forcing me to be unable to do it. I could get a 3rd party app for streaming and it would work better than this. By the way, I understand that I have over 600 ping when I play games, but if I wanted to download the Xbox App for no reason (since all the useful features are gone), then I would give this app a 5-star rating. But I downloaded it specifically for remote play.

Does some things reliably; some things rarely.. You can always see who’s online from your friends list, and what they’re playing. Messaging works well too. However; the ONE THING the app is absolutely advantageous over a controller for accessing your console with - does not work consistently. The on screen keyboard, lets you type quickly on your phone - much faster than using a controller. When it works, this feature is extremely convenient, letting you input text to your Xbox or games in time spans you never could without the app. But good freakn’ luck getting the keyboard on the app to come up when you have an on-screen keyboard on your console. It’ll work sometimes, and other times you can pull up the keyboard on your Xbox again and again and again - to have the app do nothing. Which, needless to say - is very frustrating. To have such a convenient feature work intermittently and be completely unusable at other times is maddening. If that singular function worked reliably, I would say this is a magnificent app. But right now; it just doesn’t.

Good but needs settings to be clearer. Okay so I love this app I like texting hang out with friends ect but I found somethings annoying first off I get a notification when I get a text great it’s useful but….I all so get it when I’m in the app and it’s kinda annoying not that big of an issue but the one think I think is annoying is this: Okay so using this app you can send pics cool right? But it can be annoying too first off the settings need to be clearer I have one friend who can’t get pics because of his safety settings….but we can’t find how to turn it off….another thing is anyone can text you now I don’t like friending people I don’t know in real life I have never done it but anyone can text you so I get over 30 messages a day from random people (I don’t know why they texted me) and when I block them there’s this glich that adds them to my friends list!? It’s annoying because a blocked player joined my world because of this glich and it’s not appropriate for kids who use this app to play with friends some random person could add them and just talk with them please fix this I will be vary grateful

Good app, but very glitchy.. I really like this app. It is very well designed and includes many great features. Remote play is great if you have a good connection. However, there are tons of glitches. The startup animation would be good, but every motion of the Xbox symbol causes it to flash before performing the motion. When you rotate the app to landscape or portrait, there are random white blocks that pop up in place of the proper screen rotation animation. The chat is also very glitch. The ui also glitches and flickers quite often. The remote control is better than the one in the previous version of the app. And there are also many other problems not mentioned in this review. What I’m disappointed about is the removal of the ability to check game achievements in the app. I’m also sad that there aren’t many button spread throughout the app to access remote play. Party chat works very well in the app. Overall, this is a great app, but there are a lot of bugs and glitches that ruin it. Please fix these, Microsoft!

No Gamerpic Customization. Although others are addressing this, I want to give more awareness to this as well. Ever since the new Xbox App update, completely revamping the app, I can’t help but notice and am annoyed by the fact that the profile customization (gamerpic, sending photos in chats, etc.) is nowhere to be seen on the app. The app loads slower compared to the older version, which is strange, and the screen always warps itself whenever the device is rotated, forcing me to close the app and restart it. My main concern, however, is on the fact that you aren’t able to customize your profile picture/gamerpic anymore. I’ve tried looking over for a solution, and I found nothing. It feels as if the freedom of speech and expression has been taken away, because other than this, there’s not really any other way to express yourself. Despite no answer so far, I really hope that this issue can be resolved sooner than later, so I can change my gamer picture.

I spend alot of time on this app but somethings stand to be improved.. I enjoy most aspects of the app except for two things. The store and playing your clips. I find it really inconsistent when you’re watching clips you have recorded. Sometime the clip will run from start to finish without interruption and other times it struggles with 5 seconds in. I have a decent connection and I find that even when i’m using LTE it still struggles to play smoothly. My biggest problem however is the store. I wish it was better about showing new games that have released. As apposed to showing the most popular games which it does. I know I can search specific game but i’m looking for those gems and I cannot find them if the store only shows the fortnites and the fifas of the worlds. I know the phone app shouldn’t be the place for discovery but anything is better than what they currently have. Including the dlc tab which is usually just occupied with mutiple dlc of the same game. Other than my complaints I like this app very much.

Was a great app, but new update is a BIG downgrade. Pros: New look and feel of app is smooth and easy to navigate. Party chat is still available through the app. You can connect to your console through the app now (but this feature doesn’t work for me since I have multiple Xbox’s on my network). Cons: New update took away the activity feed, so community/sharing elements of Xbox are pretty much gone. In the old format my friends would watch each other’s clips via activity feed and comment/like each other’s posts. This is now totally gone. The notification system is also partially broken. I used to get notified when my favorite’s were online, but now no matter how I set it up the app does not set me push notifications for status’. This use to be a great app with some mild glitches, but now it’s become a pretty “milk toast” app. Unless you were wanting an app solely to purchase games before turning on your Xbox, this app’s update has taken away its most useful & engaging features. I hope Microsoft eventually adds back in the activity feed, or a similar way to stay engaged with the online community.

CAPTURES ARE HORRIBLE NOW. Rewatching captures from the phone used to be a really good experience, they would take a second to load but the quality was great, you could like and comment on captures that you or your friends made, and you could easily share or download captures if you wanted to send them outside the app. Now captures are either super zoomed in so you can’t see anything, or only in zoomed out landscape mode which you can’t rotate the phone for. You can’t like or comment on your friends captures anymore, and when you view your own captures they are not formatted to fit the screen at all so you have this huge gray border that is glitchy and changes every second to try and adjust to the screen. The little bar for pausing and seeing how much time is left at the bottom doesn't go away for like 6 seconds so for a 15 second clip half of it is unwatchable if there are subtitles at the bottom or you can’t get the picture to fit the screen. I don’t know how they could’ve screwed up captures so bad when they switched to the new format but they’re unusable in their current state.

Works as well as it should. The app offers a lot of useful capabilities that I find very useful in my play. Everything works well enough that I have little problems when utilizing its functions. Some bugs are present, but everything has its kinks. These bugs are often fixed by simply restarting the app, or in a few cases restarting the Xbox it’s linked to. Anyone that plays Xbox should probably have this app, seeing as it’s both free and rather useful. The ability to see and respond to messages, even if you aren’t on your Xbox is a great ability. The ability to tell which friends are online by going into the app or having it send you a notification of when they get online is also a favorite of mine. And the ability to type and copy & paste with your phone makes sending messages and inputting commands a breeze. I recommend this to any Xbox user, there’s really no reason to not have it as far as I know. Great work, Microsoft.

Pretty bad app if you ask me. I’ve had this app for over 2 years, everything was good until the new update came out and changed the apps lay out. You maybe thinking it’s not that bad, especially if you don’t use the app a lot, but as someone who uses it often it’s a pretty bad app. The first big problem is that you cannot edit your name, bio and location on the app anymore, which can cause problems for younger people who have their account linked with their partners or care takers Email. The name that you have put up their (example Cake) will be up their when you send emails to people it will have the name cake up there on top of it. So it can mislead people and throw people off that way. I don’t believe you can change the name at all now so whatever it is now is what has to stay and almost the same with the location and bio but you can change it throw your Xbox but it takes away creativity from those two things. There’s a few other issues like glitches with notifications and chat features. I understand that apps are not perfect at all but they really messed it up and caused users some harm. They also need to fix the chat ban stuff. :l

Good idea, horrible execution. Only actually useful for changing profile pictures. The one thing I really wanted to do is msg people, and download and manage my clips. The former works well enough, though not good. It takes awhile to send and update messages and going through old ones is a nightmare, (this transfers to the console aswell). The clips are so terrible though. It is fine if you need to go through 1 clip to download it, but it will probably take you a minute to a minute and a half. To download 1 30 second clip. I seriously don’t know how they messed up clips so bad, it is horrendously slow and it doesn’t even let you download your clips half the time. This is especially frustrating when you consider Microsoft gives only a few gbs of cloud storage for clips until it starts deleting your old ones or not fully recording your new clips ( its random witch one it decides to go with) How does a multi billion dollar company mess up so bad. The only reason I use this is because there is literally NO other option. Do better Microsoft.

Overall pretty good. I mostly use the app for remote play, which works well with 3 caveats: 1) occasional connection issues, audio stops working, control inputs stop going to the console, etc. most of which can be fixed by force quitting the app. 2) Screenshots work, but for whatever reason "record what happened" only works when not using remote play; when connected via the app, the option does nothing and no clip is recorded. 3) The "don't tell me again" option for the "friendly reminder" about using a 5GHz or wired connection only persists until the app is closed or quits, and then the reminder is shown again, which is really annoying and seemingly a super-easy thing to fix. It's not great advice either -- 5GHz networks can have more potential bandwidth and higher throughput than 2.4GHz, but far less range and penetration, so it's definitely not necessarily the case that a 5GHz network will give you better performance in remote play than a 2.4GHz network.

Messaging Issue. I absolutely love this app; I’m able to play with my friends, view clips easily, see who’s online and what they’re playing, and the messaging aspect was great... until it wasn’t. I wasn’t getting notifications even though they were on, and it was stuck on the last time I texted this person so I had to refresh it every couple of minutes. That’s not even the worst part unfortunately. Now, my messages won’t send and all my conversations are gone: they won’t even load and I can’t talk to my friends! This is the only way I can talk to most of my friends so I’m upset to be out of contact with them. I have tried to reset my phone, and even deleted and redownloaded the app, but none of it worked. I really love this app and would love to give it five stars, but I can’t if there is a barrier of communication in the way. I hope you guys can get this fixed efficiently and hopefully stop this problem from occurring in the future.

One small change could make a big difference. I am small content creator/gamer/dad. If Xbox made it so that I could record my lobby’s voice audio along with mine from game chat and audio from party chat when I record my clips it would be the perfect method for under equipped content creators. Speaking from personal Experience between record clips on my Xbox and using my phone to download and post my clips via tik tok etc… I don’t even have to move from my gaming chair to make content. This small change would allow me to make content with actual audio from me and my friends or catch reactions from people in game chat. It seems like such a small change that wouldn’t matter but it would help out me and so many others like me immensely. Please take this review into consideration and maybe give it a chance. Gaming saved my life and I would just love to show some appreciation and try to help out by giving my opinion on how I see Xbox could improve the experience for gamers like my self. - Hunter aka (Cryptic)

Remote Play Needs Improvement. I’ve used OneCast and PS Remote Play for game streaming and while this is definitely better than PS Remote Play, it is nowhere near as stable as OneCast. One thing I really appreciate about the Xbox app and OneCast is that you can just directly connect your controller to the console if you’re in range rather than have to pair it with the mobile device. Sometimes I just need to use my mobile device as a second screen. I have a solid AC1900 router and I’m connecting with an iOS device on 5Ghz and there are often connectivity issues for no apparent reason. While the PS Remote Play app connection seems to stutter during heavy game activity, the Xbox app seems to just randomly get weak signal and connection. I could be playing something not very demanding like Minecraft and this app will go in and out of strong connectivity when nothing else is happening on the home network. Additionally, it’s disappointing remote play is not an option for Xbox 360 games, even if I’m connecting a controller directly to the console.

New Update.... This app USED to be good. Key words being "used to." Before the latest update, the xbox app was really good and I had very few issues with it. Ever since the new update, I have absolutely HATED using this app. Obviously this is my opinion right now, but I hate almost every single thing that has changed (and a bunch of my friends agree.) First off, the app takes longer to load in than it used to. Second off, the whole messaging / chatting with others is awful. Sending messages can be delayed a lot and sometimes not even send. You can't send pictures anymore. And also, if you have notifications on, it'll glitch over and over and over again whenever someone messages you (meaning even if you are on a chat with someone currently texting each other, whenever they text you, a notification will buzz at the top of ur screen.) This glitch is only fixed if u reload the app, and even then, after a few minutes of texting, the notification buzzing will still show up again. Another thing I hate is the online / offline thing. I don't like how when you are on a chat with someone, it says they are offline, even if they are actually online. It only says they are online on the home screen, which is very annoying. Honestly, the only thing I do like about this update is our captures all in one area. Obviously this probably won't happen, but I feel like this app would be way better if the update was just taken off, and the app was reverted back to its old state.

Used to be good. I made an account on here in 2019 I think and things were working well for me because the only thing I use it for is to connect with my friends on Minecraft. Thing is that a couple months ago it made me sign in again, but the password was incorrect, so I made a new one. Then, when I signed in with the new password, the white box went down and it looked like it was about to finish loading then the white box came up again. I put in the password again, then it went down for a bit, then it came up AGAIN. I was doing this for a minute or so then just gave up cause it was completely pointless. I sort of forgot what happened but I think I just went on the Minecraft app itself then logged in cause my account was already registered. The only problem I have now is that I can’t even load my screen on this app without having to sign in, wait, sign in again, wait, sign in again, and so on. (By the way, I did all of this months ago but here I am again experiencing the same situation) this is getting pointless and it needs to be fixed this is getting ridiculous I’m not sure if I’m the only one experiencing this but it’s really annoying.

Revert back to original update. Bottom line, I dislike the new Xbox app update. It has been very difficult for me to utilize. I prefer the original version over this garbage. First off, why would Microsoft remove the achievements and activity feed section? I can’t even see nor can I compare with friends: the hours we played, game statistics, achievements unlocked/locked, and even gameplay clips and images. In addition, I don’t like the fact that my profile page doesn’t include every single game from my library. It even removed my personal activity feed. In other words, I hate the highlights section. The only thing I seem to like about the app is the fact that I can connect my iPhone and Tablet to Xbox One and project games over to it however, it’s not enough to impress me. I really hope Microsoft see this message and considers reverting back to the original version of the app because there was nothing wrong with it at all. It was easy to work around and things were organized accordingly. This new update is a scattered mess. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT NOW!

Updates are supposed to improve not degrade. First off the most recent update which apparently went along with the format change in the xbox UI layout getting rid of the multiple left/right home tabs for the different categories such as community or store is a very poorly executed concept on the mobile version especially when trying to find features that were once relatively simple to find but now seem to not exist at all and worst of all the messaging setup with the new format both in the app and on the console is absolutely horrendous!!! Also my xbox elite series 2 controller is perfectly capable of connecting to my iPhone to use when playing things like CoD mobile or a racing sim but you neglect to allow for the mobile app to permit me to change or customize which 3 control setups I have stored on my controller so if I forget to have the perfect ones loaded before leaving for a trip or even daily commute I can’t correct that and fully enjoy playing on the tube or cab ride! That seems like poor planning and I keep thinking it used to be possible but can’t remember for certain.

The App NEVER works!. I really wish they would fix this app. I have a relatively new iPhone, and yet the app is always slow, and constantly glitching out. Sometimes wont load anything, almost never loads my messages, it will notify me about an invite several minutes after actually receiving one, and recently it stopped allowing me to save my captures. I tried saving a clip two different ways multiple times and it never showed up in my album. Not sure if thats an issue with iPhone but I doubt it since I’m trying to save it through Xbox’s App. Also, if I try to join a party chat on my phone through the app it doesn’t pick up my voice. I can hear the party but they can’t hear me, which doesn’t make any sense to me because I’ve played with people before who used the app as their replacement mic and it let them talk so why not let me talk?? It’s honestly all very confusing and frustrating, I have never had more issues and let downs with an app than this one. I just deleted it and redownloaded it and I’m really hoping that fixes any if not all of these issues...

REPORTING A BUG!!!!. There is a bug with the Xbox Phone App after the most recent update that was rolled out. While talking in party chat on the Xbox Phone App the sound will randomly cut out on one or more people in the party with you. You can still see that those people are talking, you just can’t hear them, and I have also confirmed that those people can hear you even though you can not hear them. It is not an internet issue as it happens to me whether I am on the wifi or (disconnecting from wifi and) using my phone data. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, still did not fix my problem. Own a brand new iphone 11 I got for christmas and using the headphones that came with, so it isn’t that my phone/headphones are super old or anything. This was not a problem until the most recent update for the app a few weeks ago. This is as inconvenient as it gets for someone who relies on the xbox phone app to talk with friends in party chat while we play, and is so frustrating that i have almost had to stop playing xbox entirelt. To add to my frustrations i am running out of time to play EA access and Gamepass free trials with my friends because of this, and i know xbox is going to give me zero compensation for this. Strongly considering selling my xbox because of this situation if it doesnt get fixed SOON.

Broken parties. I’ve used this app for a long time, as it’s an efficient alternative to texting other Xbox players, and the parties come in handy if you don’t have a headset available. But recently those parties have been everything but convenient. Every time I join one, it starts to overheat my phone, and that’s the part I can live with. The part that irks me beyond comprehension is the fact that the parties are disconnected for up to 80% of the time you’re in one. Your friends can hear you and you can see from the ring around their pfp that they’re talking, but you can’t hear a word they say. It’s as if they’re mute when they’re not. This makes competitive and even casual games difficult to play with friends. Imagine playing a PVP game such as Apex or R6 and your teammates makes a callout that could save you. But the party was disconnected so you miss the callout and you die. It’s a frustrating experience, and it is more common than not. I don’t know what causes this, and I know it’s not connection issues because those come with alerts, and I have relatively decent connection to begin with. Whatever this issue is, it needs to be addressed if the app is going to continue to function properly.

So many bugs. To start off I have tried to figure out how to contact Xbox about this by using the app support button next to download, it does not bring you somewhere to report an actual bug and is very difficult to navigate. 1. The biggest issue that is occurring right now is that party’s and Voice chats WILL NOT WORK they won’t even let you open them and just say “Something went wrong” this is highly annoying and I’ve signed in and out and uninstalled and reinstalled, Xbox app is what I use as an alternative to using a mic since the mic on your headsets decide to stop working in the early months of purchasing. The app is also connected to my console and disconnecting and reconnecting did not work 2. Second biggest bug which everyone has been having issues with for months yet you have not fixed it is where in the party people can still hear you but you are unable to hear them. Most of the time if it’s a party of let’s say four. You can hear one person at a time and every couple of minutes it allows audio of the next person to come through but shuts the other person off. The other half of the time you can’t hear a single person. Please fix this as you’ve been made aware of this for months and is ridiculous.

so buggy and it won’t let me use the app. i only play Minecraft here and there with my friends but i had stopped for a while so i need to go redownload Minecraft as well as xbox. i expected i would need to sign in and so i did and i thought it was working but the pop up to sign into your microsoft account kept showing up. i would enter my password so many times and i would think it would work and it wouldn’t. i tried resetting my password and nothing happened. i gave up, but the other day i wanted to get on the app to friend request one of my friends so we could play minecraft. i opened up xbox and it asked me to sign in again but i had forgotten the password i had changed it to a few weeks prior so i changed it again and made sure to remember it. i said i would try again tomorrow. it’s the next day and i signed in with my new password and the pop up came up repeatedly. i don’t know what to do at this point. this isn’t the only thing too. the one tile i did get it working it was super laggy and it even glitches me out of the app at one point. the app is also hard to navigate, it used to be so much better. i don’t know what you guys changed but stop changing things like sending pictures in chats and making the app look prettier. just make is isabel and fix the glitches. it’s super frustrating and i just wanna play games with my friends. thanks.

Always evolving.. This app is always improving with new features. Bring back the game store here. Even if it’s just new releases and coming soon tabs. There is no mobile app game store anymore only the GamePass app which is only game pass games. Annoying to me who used to browse games while at work and sometimes purchase and remote download & unfair for Devs who choose not to release games on GamePass

Why is this happening?. So the app used to work well for me but then suddenly when I go into the app it says I need to sign in with my Microsoft account because I’m accessing sensitive info but when I put my password in the page closes down the screen doesn’t load and then the same page comes back telling me to put in the password. Like BRUH how many times do I have to do this. After about twenty tries I give up because this has just wasted my time plsss fix this

Make the App Useful Again. So many pointless features, very little to help you use your Xbox. I’d love to see more interactive features in this app that actually complement the console a lot more. For example, I should have better control of movies and content. It’d be awesome if I could scroll through a list of titles (or even search) on my phone app, select what to watch, then have it play on the Xbox. While it’s playing, I should have the ability to view information about what I’m watching on the app, maybe even share what I’m watching with others. While something is playing, there needs to be contextual controls for media playback, not just the standard controller buttons. I need play, pause, rewind, skip etc. In games I’d love to see more functionality too, let me see menus or hud features, chat console, game stats or whatever. As the app is right now, it just doesn’t add much value.

Gets better and better.....oh it doesn’t.. My original review was 5 stars, and I mentioned that it was a Great achievement by Microsoft, and this app is a fantastic complement to the console and gets better with every update..... Well this isn’t the case anymore, they have removed achievements from the app, which means that you can no longer use it as a companion app while you’re playing. Or even doing some research on certain hard-to-get achievements. They are a core component of the Xbox experience and really need to come back to the app.

Microsoft Solitaire Collection IOS. Hi, I have had this game on both my laptops Windows 10 and my new iPad for 2 months, no problems. I also upgraded to premium on both devises, no problems. This week I can no longer play the game on my Ipad. When I open it up it tells me to connect to the internet which is always on. It then tells me to try on XBox which I downloaded but again it tells me I have no internet connection which I have checked and rechecked. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks David

Good app but this needs urgent fixing. i didn’t use the Xbox app for a while (3-4 months) then I went on it to play from my device then it disconnected my Xbox from my device and when it says turn your Xbox on and log into this account I do that and it says something wrong try again a bit later and I wait a hour then I try again but it still doesn’t work please fix this for me or tell me a resolution

View games tab?. This app is almost perfect except for the fact that there isn’t a tab to view your games. In case you want to show your friends what you’ve got and compare the games together. Or just checking if you are missing a game from your collection. There probably already is one and I’m sounding pretty dumb right now so if there is maybe put it in the main bar at the top of the screen

Great app but needs a tiny fix 🤏. The xbox app is great and easy to use but it suddenly won’t let me change my profile picture to one that’s like on my camera roll, I haven’t tried the in-app pictures, I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the app and logging in and out and when I try to change it, it comes up with “try again later” so I thought that if I sent a review that you guys would hopefully see this and try to fix it.. it would be great if you could :)

Used to be good now it’s broken. I used to always use this app for taking screenshots and downloading them but recently I’m not sure what happened it either takes ages to upload my captures, doesn’t show me when my captures are uploaded or shows me the captures but doesn’t let me download. I am aware that I do have some internet problems at my house but currently as I am writing this I the internet is working fine and the captures are still broken. Sometimes it even shows me captures that I deleted a while ago or just shows me the videos and not the screenshots.

Very well done, but need improvement. I find Xbox App to be very useful especially because my headphone jack on my Xbox controller is broken. However I have found that when an internet change occurs, the Xbox App stops working and stays on a white loading screen. This may only be on my current device which is an IPhone 6. It would be nice for this to be fixed. Despite this it is really easy to use and it has everything that you would need in an Xbox App.

My pfp is broken. The app is good and all but I changed my profile picture and it says it can't show it because it's apparently "inappropriate" when there was nothing wrong with it. It keeps saying "Sorry we can't upload the picture at the moment, try again later" and I've literally been waiting 6 months and it still keeps saying it. I've tried restarting the app and deleting it and re downloading it but it still says the same thing over and over. If you need my xbox it's Antorth and could you please help me it would mean a lot

Possibly the best console app EVER. It's much easier for texting your friends that have an Xbox instead of going on the Xbox just go open up the app sign in then text them. Also you can see pretty much every thing you can see on the home screen. The app also lets you get a Custom pic for your profile. It's pretty good but I which you could do that with your background a custom background instead of downloading media player and getting pictures of your computer putting them in a USB then sticking that in the Xbox.

Great companion to the console. Needs refinement. This app is very useful when managing the multitude of tasks that would normally require you to push the Xbox button on your controller and manage tasks with a pop-up overlaid sub menu. 2 things to be amended and I would give 5 stars. First the resolution of the app doesn’t fit the entire screen for my iPad Pro so it’s not taking advantage of the full screen. Second is when setting up an LFG, the tags that you can normally choose from when setting up via xbox aren’t there. There are no suggestions, it’s completely blank. Otherwise I’m a very frequent user of this app and have it open pretty much every time I’m using my console. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Annoyed. I’ve had to delete this app like 8 times now just to use it. It keeps telling me something went wrong, it will crash all of a sudden and when I get a message, the message will not load at all. After the message doesn’t load it will disable me from viewing anything and say something about my privacy’s settings will not let me. Every time I view my settings, they are fine and there isn’t anything wrong with them, especially to the point where I can’t message people or view anything. My phone is up to date and this app is good when it is working.

Random messages. I have used this app for several years without an issue up until the last 6 weeks or so. Have been receiving video upload notifications, party invites and messages for people I don’t know. The messages don’t show in the app, on the Xbox or in notifications. I block these people but I still receive the messages. Please fix, it’s enough to make me want to delete the app. Thanks

Microsoft Fixed Something That Wasn’t Broken. After the recent update to the app, all of the features that I enjoyed are gone. You can no longer view your achievements or your progress in a game. You can no longer view or change your profile customisation. You can no longer view different groups of gamers. The app has just been turned into a big advert for the Microsoft store and game pass, only showing you the base information of the games, not your progress in it or your own personal goals within the game. It feels and is incredibly impersonal. Where once it felt like a portfolio to show and express your enjoyment and commitment to the game, now it is an impersonal and cold middle finger to all those who actually enjoyed the app. Microsoft please fix this please, or release an actual companion app, similar to the one on computers. I am un-happy.

Roll it back, or fix it please.. The newly updated Xbox app, while sporting a neat new paint job, is devoid of many of the features which made it an app worth actually using. The removal of many loved features such as achievement tracking, profile name and picture editing, the ability to view and join LFG posts and many more has left much to be desired. Purposely omitting useful features is no way to introduce a new UI update. On top of that, one of the most useful features, the ability to use your phone as an Xbox remote, is now hindered by an almost 5 second delay between input on the app and output on the console. This issue was non-existent before the update. Please, guys, while UI updates are nice, as is the ability to remote play on your mobile device, please avoid releasing seemingly incomplete updates which remove much loved features and introduce worse ones. It seems as though the only thing this update achieved was actively making the user experience much worse and undermining the potential of such a useful and loved application. TLDR: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it...

Gamer Xbox One.. Horrible app with no club access or sharing anything to a club. No way of sending custom made videos to Xbox Live anymore i give up on Xbox they have taken away the enjoyment for players! When an app or companion app works well there’s no need to change it but Xbox always finds a way to ruin it for the players! To only be able to share clips via console only is ridiculous & a shame to say the least! Bring back the ability to make custom videos to share to Xbox Live and many players will be happy again! I hope changes are made as i don’t bother with the Xbox app as much as i used to. Sort it out Microsoft as players aren’t happy like they should be.,

Don’t Update. The new update is really bad. I used this app for tracking my achievements... either looking at all my games or alternatively whilst playing a specific game to see my progress... This new app lacks the ability to do that. From my profile screen I tapped quantum break, which I’ve been playing on my Xbox... and instead of telling me the achievements ect, it tells me minimum requirements to play it on PC... not helpful It also now seems to be all about telling me what games I can get with game pass... or what games are popular with my Xbox friends... I don’t really care about what others play, or games I can get through game pass like minecraft... if I want to play a game with friends I’ll talk to them and work out what would be good to play together... I don’t assume that because they have played red dead that it means the are keen on the multiplayer aspect. Streaming is a cool feature to get... but not worth the removal of all the other features when my Xbox is in the next room. It appears this ‘update’ is actually replacing the old Xbox app with the Gamepass app. Which is not great for those without gamepass... Of course mileage may vary, and if you have gamepass and care more about the ‘social’ aspect of your Xbox then this will be fine for you. If however your like me and don’t want gamepass and care more about what you play, and tracking your game progress ect then don’t update the app.

Update/ install/ Download progress. Great app but should have a feature where we can see how far along our downloads/ updates or installations are from completing. Would be handy instead of having to turn the console on and off just to get an idea on how far through it is. Also make it so we can pause or cancel updates etc. on our consoles whilst they are on instant on if that’s possible Other than that it’s a great app. And if you could do that I’d definitely come back and re rate it 5 stars.

It all went wrong. After the newest update for the app, it introduced a lot of changes and most of them are bad. For example before the update you could look at the different game clubs, you could see different posts form your friends and other people, it was an easy layout and system and worked just fine no need for change, but after the update IT ALL WENT WRONG, now you can’t do any of those things and worst of all ITS COMPLETELY broken. Why? Please fix, I can’t even look at my friends list or the Xbox store. Please fix it!!!

App keeps bugging out. I have previously used this app and it was great, everything worked very well. However recently I have started to use it again and every other day the app stops allowing me to use the party feature. It keeps telling me that it has to do with my privacy settings but I have checked them multiple times and there is no reason why the app should be working one day but not working the next. I have to keep deleting and redone loading the app to get it to work... is very frustrating. Until this is fixed, the review will stay at 2 stars.

CAPTURES BUGGED *MUST FIX*. Hey, I know for a fact it happens to loads of people, when we capture something on Xbox and upload it to the Xbox network absolutely nothing comes up. For me the most recent captures on the Xbox app is from a week ago. This is ridiculous and you need to fix it right now. If I want to save a clip to my phone I should be able to. Xbox please adapt I would have thought you’d have this under control but apparently not. Sorry, it’s just the way it is but it really shouldn’t be the way it is.

Good app but some store problems. The app is very useful. I particularly use the Store and the Gold page. Very useful to be able to check on the Games with Gold and if they were were purchased or obtained before. One issue is that the reported autorenewal date for my gold subscription displayed as the 16th of June but renews on the 2nd. This happened before and after the renewal. Unfortunately the store pages sometimes take a very long time to load and then are almost instantaneous at others.

The app is pretty good. I love the Xbox app it is so essential but I have a few issues no.1 being when I’m in a party chat through the app it attends to crash and it just gets annoying having to quit the app and relaunch it and start another party chat and no.2 being that I can’t change my profile picture it just keeps on saying try again later then I will and it will say the same thing.... but other than that the app is great and highly recommended it ✌🏾

One problem!. I love this app I speak to my friends through it and I use it almost every day. But I’m not sure if it is we have a new update but I opened my iPad to see that the picture of the app was different, so I went to go and open it up and it just shuts at I try to open is again but it’s shut so what I’m trying to say the app isn’t opening I have IOS 12.5.5 and it says it’s support iOS 12 I don’t know what’s happening I’ve uninstalled and reinstall the app multiple times and even reset my whole IOS device it’s still not working please fix.

Good but a problem needs to be fixed. I like how useful this app can be, I only use it for minecraft and stuff, I don’t own a actual Xbox, but there’s a problem I’ve been getting recently and what happens is when I open the app the whole page is loading and then it instantly says you have to sign in because your accessing sensitive info and I literally just opened the app, and I had to change my password and then it let me sign in and the page is still loading and about 7 seconds it says I have to sign in again because I’m accessing sensitive info and It’s getting irritating because the page isn’t loading at all either, and my wifi is pretty good where I live so I shouldn’t be having that loading problem, but in advance thank you for this app and I hope you can help me with my problem I’ve been having Edit: I’ve fixed it by redownloading the app, it works fine now but it not sure if it will have that problem again

It’s an okay app.. I understand that it’s not going to be exactly like the Xbox, because it’s a free app that goes with it, but I only really use the app to download captures I take, so I’m not going to be reviewing the entire app, as I haven’t experienced every feature. On the Xbox you can sort the captures you take by game and other filters, but you can’t do that on the app which is frustrating. I take a lot of captures with the intent of downloading them and sharing them with my friends, but in the app they drown in captures from other games I’ve taken, and I have to scroll quite far down, and even then it doesn’t store all my captures (which I suppose is fair, reiterating the fact that this app is free and the Xbox is not). Even if I can’t access all my captures on the app, it would be nice if I could at least sort through the ones I have got. I won’t even mention to time it takes to download a 5 minute capture, as I suppose it varies per person and their phone. All in all, at least I can download my most recent captures, and maybe that’s a good thing, as my storage would take quite the toll if I downloaded every single thing I wanted to (especially since I can access it on my console). It’s a good app.

Get this app!. Microsoft can give themselves a pat on their backs yet again for creating this app. The seemless intergration between console and mobile is insanely good! Joining parties directly from your mobile device... literally can talk through parties with your phone :) Higher speed typing instead of on screen console keyboard. Friends button - see who’s online Achievement pages (this is a big one for me) to easily track achievements and progression! And even to compare with friends! 5/5 - Xbox Live User ;)

It’s awesome. I would like to be able to see my party, like whose in it, I’d like to be able to kick from the app as well I think that would be a nice feature to add, and also I’d like to be able to view the messages that get sent to the party but other then that I love being able to accept and decline people who are interested in my looking for post, messaging friends, and seeing my feed. It’s made it a lot easier to access my friends and messages while still playing

please fix. with the option to connect to a xbox so you an control it like you are holding a controller has an issue. When the keyboard comes up on screen it does to show for the iOS device this used to work but now when i need to make a post or send a message it does not work, the buttons come up but that’s way slower than doing in manually with the controller, please fix this

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly. The Xbox app has come a long way in the past year. Those hard crashes are, at least for me, a thing of the past. Accessing chats and seeing if mates are on are working just fine. Even seeing what games Im able to download (thanks to the Ultimate Game Pass) works fine. But the audio on my Capture sometimes just wont load, actually most times the audio wont come in at all. The Captures load a heck of a lot better than previous iterations of this app have. There are little bugs here and there but none really worth mentioning. I still recommend Xbox to mates, as the Ultimate Game Pass (UGP) is just too good of a deal to pass up, dont ever change that. Seriously just finished Star Wars Fallen Order, and besides the data, having the UGP made it so it didnt cost me a thing extra. Long time user of this console and app (12years, 5years respectively)

App not responding. The app is great when it works. I’ve been having a issue for the last week where it won’t load. If I un install it and re install it it works for five minuets or so then can’t load anything. I find it useful to message friends when playing game as it’s quicker and easier to open and reply to messages and to see who’s online on what games before I jump on. But lately it hasn’t been working and I don’t know why. Has anyone else come across this issue?

Too SLOW 🎄 🐌. Gee it’d be good if the servers streamed the content or even loaded screenshots quickly.. but no - it’s Microsoft, so to do anything you have to nurse it through for 2 min until it has buffered everything - then you can see your clip! And try saving the clip to your phone - it constantly switches off before it finishes and forgets where it left off. This app therefore is pretty useless.

Reasonable. It got a 2 star from me, as the app often needs to be uninstalled completely and reinstalled, because many features don’t work, or can’t connect. The app is useful when going away to allow the kids to log in and claim various daily rewards in games, a little laggy for multiplayer games, but is ok. However, when the app has the bug that stops it connecting, the app requires to be reinstalled, and the only way to connect the app to the Xbox again is… you guessed it! Sign into the Xbox using that account. Hard to do when you are a thousand kilometres away. As a secondary access point, it is usable, barely. It is so inconsistent and unreliable, however, it becomes frustrating to the point of throwing your dinner across the room. Microsoft, fix those bugs!!

Most unreliable app i’ve had to deal with. This app has terrible reliability when connecting to the xbox and has so many issues that haven’t been fixed its not funny. Streaming videos fails half the time, tv guide information doesn’t show up. Even the tv and AV control doesnt work if the Xbox is in the TV App. Lastly, there is still no option to turn on the xbox only without turning on my AV and TV. Why is there not already an option to turn on the xbox only without turning on the TV? This is pointless if i have to turn the TV off after i remotely turn it on. This is typical Microsoft having the functionality but being too lazy/ to implement it in a meaningful way

App’s decent, BUT. The app’s great, but recently (roughly three weeks ago), I lost the ability to be able to change my display pic for the app and Xbox system itself through the app. I can change it to an avatar, and change the avatar, but for no reason, I’ve lost the ability to actually choose an actual picture from my Camera Roll and set it as my profile picture. This has persisted throughout the last couple of updates and bug fixes.

Hi there are better things. Yep that’s what I was thinking about going down the big big thing to do this morning and then go home is it cool and then we are all about to eat then I just don’t eat and then eat and go eat dinner without a dog because they eat and they are not doing it for you and you eat it all day because they are not doing it for me and you know that I don’t know what to do it for you and you know what I want you to know I know you

Love it but. I actually love that this app exists. No more lengthy replies from the console. Easy to see if people are online or not. Track my achievements. But my only question is why doesn’t it have all my screenshots/ recordings. It always manages to bit show them and the ones it does show are random and changes constantly. Is there a way to get all my captures from my console to actually stay on my app?

I like it. Pretty cool app, and not really to do with the app, more Xbox really, but really love how you can change your Gamerpic to literally whatever you want, wish PlayStation did something like it. Just one weird thing though, when I go into my games, sometimes they’re different ones, but there’s like 3 random games that I never bought in with my other games.

A disappointed customer. I really enjoyed using the app for messaging and checking achievements but since up to about a month ago the app is not usable at all. I ran into a problem with not being able to use nearly any features such as messaging ect. I looked on forums to try and fix it which only worked once and hasn’t worked since. I logged out of the app and can no longer log back into the app at all. Even have deleted the app multiple times to see if that fixed the problem but still doesn’t. All my the features work on other devices but this since the last month. Very disappointed

Great. It helps me get messages through faster, I can see my friends on it I can see what my friends post, my issue with this is on the console, this is the only way i could get a message to Xbox, on the console, I changed my name, I did not work and I lost the money, I bought rocket league, it was not downloading, I go back to the rocket ledge page, it says I have not bought it, I think you should just make it you pay on the console not get sent to pc for it to be accepted by Microsoft, change that on the actual Xbox

Connection Problems. I have had this app for around 2-3 months and tried to play about 5 days in that time. In those 5 days I have only been able to play twice. I try maybe 50 times in a day, coming back every now and then, trying 5 - 7 times , being told that “We cannot connect to you Xbox. Try again later”, so I leave and try again later, an hour later, only to be told the exact same thing! I have full internet connection majority of the time and my Xbox is always on before I try...This app would be great if I didn’t have these problems.

Good app but new feature could put it through the top. As I mentioned in the title, this feature could be streaming directly to a TV that has a chrome cast or is a smart tv so when you remote play there could be an option to stream to a tv or another device and that way you could have a bigger screen without needing a Xbox connected

Uhh it’s okay?. The app itself I would say is good, gives you similar or even the same content and freedom the Xbox itself would although it does have a few bugs like mine always tends to crash when I get out of the app and try to get back in while in a party. Like just a simple tap of the home button, my iPad is band new and I barely filled up any storage so I don’t really understand the issue. But I’d probably give 4 stars if it didn’t always crash on me and oh I don’t know if I just can’t find it but when you receive a party request and don’t press it in time there’s no going back into it no nothing. But something is wrong with my app I have the most resent update, at least I think? I updated it 6 days ago, yet it’s still telling me to “update for latest version of parties” and isn’t allowing me to update but that’s all.. this app is a little all over the place Toodles! ^^

Not what I thought.. I figured that the Xbox app would look like the Xbox Home Screen with a few differences but I don’t mind how it is. What I do mind is the fact that I can’t look at my achievements or see my games, I can see all the game pass games that I have and don’t have but I can’t see the games I physically own. The other thing I’m annoyed about is I can’t see the photos I took in game, I rarely take photos but when I do, I would like to see them outside of the game. The chatting with friends part is good apparently (I don’t talk to any of my friends since one is my cousin and the other hasn’t been online for months now). And so is the remote, doesn’t work for games which is understandable, easy to use when watching Netflix or something and don’t want to use the controller.

A small problem... Please fix!. This app is amazing and easy to find everything you want, however, I have recently come across a problem. The app logged me out one day and when I tried getting back into it, it says that there was a problem and to try again later, I tried it later and it didn’t work, I tried reinstalling it and I tried adding my account again onto it, still nothing. Please fix this because I really need it! Thanks.

Being back the old version!!!. I really love the app,it’s extremely useful when u have a nosy brother just all up in your business,but after the update I try to access the chat but it won’t go in straight away,I have to keep offloading,powering off,etc... So please,don’t make a new update unless it’s gonna fix all the problems we have right now,it won’t even let me ACCESS THE CHAR SECTION

Xbox button not working, ect. On remote play I was able to click every button on the Xbox controller just like on the Xbox one itself but recently on this update when I click the Xbox button, doesn’t do anything all I can use it for is to hold the button turn off/on the controller and I disconnect the controller and reconnect still the same problem, can this be fixed please. And when I clicked view game on my friends list or my own account to launch game the app crashed I really need this fixed please

A major problem. I recently changed accounts and when I tried to log into my new account in Xbox live it was still on my old account even after I reloaded it! I feel like there should be a settings button in a top corner with the option to “switch account” then you sign in to your new account and yeah. You should really include this feature in your new update, I feel like if you do you won’t get as many problems popping up on live support.

New update sucks. The new update is cancer where can I change my gamer pic ? Also where is achievements the list goes on you fixed something that didn’t need fixing

Problem. The new way to choose a profile picture by using pictures of your phone is WAY MORE HARD. The previous version was much better and way more easier!

I don’t see a pin. Well I don’t see a pin code on my tv where my Xbox is connected 👎

Login issues. Won’t accept Microsoft account credentials on the app. Confirmed on console and on pc that the information I submitted was correct. App continually boots back to the login screen even when correct info is added. Completely unusable right now so 1 star.

Fix the damn app. The app is broken, keeps asking over and over for me to input my password

fix ur app. every single time i click the app i keep getting kicked out in 1 second i tested it on both of my devices and i keep getting kicked

Great App. Love the user friendly interface, always room for improvement

Tons and TONS of issues... Firstly, please PLEASE add support for lfg posts. I hate having to type out peoples name to invite them to a party. If i’m in a party and invite someone with a game clip on their main page is literally bugs out my mic and forces me to rejoin. Also when I try to join a party via notifications in xbox app. It takes me to their profile page instead of joining the party. This has happened on multiple devices which is infuriating. As someone who raids everyday in D2 and constantly needs LFGS. Please, fix the app.

Horrible. This app is just awful. It crashes way too much, when you join a party it will not works for about 1 minute then it crashes, and on top of all that, there are these painfully slow transitions between the horribly designed interface

Password issues. Constantly asking for a password, even after I have changed it.

Bug need fixing!!. Hi I use this app a lot and recently from the last two updates. The app well not allow me to upload my own gamer pic anymore. I keep getting a error message saying try again later. Keeps saying that every time I re-try over and over. Could you look into this please! Thanks! :) I use iPhone 11 if that helps for software.

Worst app ever. I’ve had the Xbox app for a long time but ever since the new update, they’ve removed key features like watching captures, checking achievements, joining parties and more. Definitely considering uninstalling the app until they decide to add those features back. The only way you can use some of the features that aren’t included in the app is to go to xbox.com and check your Xbox profile.

Go back to old update. This app was amazing 5 stars before but this new update is terrible you can’t check your achievements, can’t redeem codes anymore, countless of other things, don’t fix what ain’t broken!

Worst update revert!. Remove option to add custom profile pictures through your phone gallery, a slower download process in video formats and not being able to see and manage game clips in the xbox one itself. whoever made these changes needs a demotion

Trash. Who thought it was a good idea to remove all these features? Are you an idiot? The only reason i had this app was to view my achievements but you removed that. And for what? Nothing. The app was perfectly fine before but you ruined it. Thanks a lot.

Stupid. What idiot in your development team thought removing the remote feature and the ability to change the pfp was a good idea? Give me a name so I can tell them personally how stupid that was.

New update is awful. Fix it or go back to the old version please bring back redeem codes

App won’t let me sign in. Feel like whole MS eco system is so annoying and hard to use. App just keep saying “App want to use live.com for sign in” . You renter credential and same cycle starts again :( Then you finally try to go the XBOX website and now it’s says something went wrong. Why it has to be this difficult.

Crashing. It won’t let me sign in anymore I go to put in the info and the app crashes

Bug. I can’t log into my account i stay stuck a the logging screen. I tried to delete and reinstall, wipe all memories and it still doesn’t work.

Useless. Removed the store and achievements

Login glitch. I haven’t been able to login for the past 2 months because of this login glitch, once I enter my password it brings me inside the app then the login screen slides right back up. Happens to my girlfriend too. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling too.

Please. Please take down the maintenance and let us change our gamerpics again, ITS BEEN FOUR MONTHS!!

Crap. App doesn’t stay open for more than 2 seconds

From perfect to “only good”. Why did you guys removed the option to see achivements and compare them whith your friends ? Please bring that back

Why u so trash ?!!!!. Ok so first of all why tf do u do a past due date In the first place like no one asked you to do that for us. And now we have to struggle just because you guys did something so stupid and so unnecessary!

I love it. This new remote play is awesome I can play Xbox from anywhere asking as I have a controller even in school 👍

My experience. My nan came in to me wanking on the big screen and I couldn’t turn my Xbox off fast enough so I punch it and now it dose not work.

Help. Why does it say I have the wrong password when I try to log in I’ve tried it so many times already

The New Update. The Update Is Generally Ok But There’s Way Less Features Then The Old One. For instance; You Can’t Change your profile Pic, can’t see achievements, can’t customize your account which is the main reason people use the app. Microsoft plz update it with those features please.

So many features are gone. I used to use the app for purchasing games and checking my achievements. Please bring these features back!

Don’t bother downloading. It’s a waste of time now as Microsoft decided they wanted to take away they only useful features on the app me and my friends would sometimes compare hours or trophy’s and just overall achievements on a game through our phone now they’ve taken this away the Xbox app doesn’t have any function whatsoever for me anymore anything you can do on the app u can do on the Xbox

Absolute garbage. The app has lost every feature that the majority of people used the app for, instead you now get 5 pages of pictures of the 4 games you own and when you click on those pictures it shows you more pictures of the game you own. If I wanted to see useless pictures and advertisements I would have looked at my xbox home page

This app update is trash. This app is useless now. Can’t check achievements, don’t get any notifications. No store to redeem games with gold. PS app is way better then this garbage app. Why fix what’s not broken.

Let me buy games. I love this app allows me to know what’s going on with my account but one thing I never understood is why can’t you buy games from the app? I’ve never understood that Microsoft please add this

Update killed it. Literally can’t even open app

New feature Idea not really a review. I feel like there should be a feature that lets you view what percentage your game that’s downloading is at on the app and notifies your phone when your game is done downloading

Not worth it since new update. The new update ruined this app. The only reason most people use the Xbox app is to check achievements, change profile picture, buy games or put in codes. None of that can be done now, I don’t even actually know the point of the app at this point. Don’t waste your time on it now, it’s nearly useless.

App keeps crashing. It won’t let me sign in and when I do it crashes the app

It’s stupid. I’m an Xbox user and I can’t even get in because it’s a glitch it says I’m sending the code but it doesn’t work

You get one star for being annoying. The app is great. I use it all the time. But I hate being asked all the time if I want to rate it. So you get one star.

Not achievement support!?. The app was updated along with the release of the series X and amongst other things they axed achievement support? That was the main reason I used the app was to check achievements.

Lag. This is so laggy that my friend with no legs can walk faster then the loading

Boff. Le système de messagerie fonctionne tres mal

um?. why were so many features removed? its so much more confusing now :(

Just a review bro. 5 stars coz I am lazy

Poor party chat. It keeps cutting out

Bad Sign-In. I’m having trouble signing into my account and when I do, it tells me to sign in again and again 👎

Hot pile of garbage. By far the worst app on the App Store. 99% of the time i can’t do anything because it fails to load anything. Can’t join or invite to parties, can’t download clips and can’t message anyone. You’d think with updates literally every week, they’d be able to make this app run properly but that’s sadly not the case. Can’t think of a more pathetic attempt at a mobile app

Login. The login is messed up, keeps asking for my password because of sensitive information, the entire app is messed up & sends 5 messages most times..

It’s a really cool app but needs to be fixed up a little bit. I really enjoy this app, you can view your game clips and share them, upload them, save them, and message through Xbox so much easier and all it’s really great and useful but one main thing that I hope gets fixed really soon, is a bug with parties. Imagine how annoying it is, you are in the middle of a game you are talking to your friends laughing then all of a sudden, you can’t hear them anymore, you look down on your phone (because that’s what you are using for the party) and your Xbox app restarted itself and it keeps happening, over and over. It gets really annoying. Friends have to keep inviting me over and over in the middle of their games because my Xbox app keeps restarting itself in mid conversation. So that’s my main thing but besides that’s it’s a really useful app and if you have Xbox I do recommend you get this.

Never write reviews but.... I never write reviews on apps, it seems like a waste of time more often than not. But regardless I just had to write this down and share my thoughts. The Xbox app USED to be quite good, before this latest update completely and totally gutted all the awesome features the Xbox app was loved for. First: the layout. The previous layout was straightforward and streamlined, this latest update has given “streamlined” a brand new definition. There is almost little to no reason to even have the app downloaded as it only serves as a glorified remote control, that sometimes doesn’t even respond to my inputs. The complete and total lack of features leaves the layout practically empty. Last: the features. I used to be able to stalk my friends’ captures, achievements, etc. and that was fun because it added a whole new dynamic of competition between friends, because the system also gave Time Played for each game and each gamer tag. All of those features are gone. You go to a friends profile and now you are greeted with highlights and your basic friend-moderation tools such as “report, remove friend, block” etc. why remove all the friend features? Why remove all the darling features that have done well so far? Overall, the app used to be a solid 4.5/5 however due to Microsoft’s obsession with fixing things that ARE NOT broken, the update has brought this app down to a 2/5. Shame, I used to love this app.

Helpful but full of problems. I’ve been using the Xbox app for years and it works most of the time, but now that there are no longer any ways to have multiple accounts signed in at the same time and to switch between accounts you need to sign out and then type on your email and password every time you switch rather than just clicking on the account you want to sign into. I currently can’t even use the app because I signed into an account that was locked and I couldn’t remember the password or enough of the account information to have the password changed. I don’t care about recovering the account at all, if I could I’d just delete the account. The biggest problem is that I can’t sign out of the locked account because it’s locked and I need to be signed into an account in order to sign into an account. So this app is basically now just a way to remember that I can’t sign in and can’t sign out.

It has issues but is still pretty good.... I have been using the Xbox app for a long time but I’ve noticed there are A LOT of issues joining and starting parties is a major issue I’ve joined someone party I didn’t even know when I meant to join my friends and I tapped to join their party the receiving of party invites is very very delayed sometimes by up to two minutes and with the new update of remote play I can’t even get it to work maybe it’s something I’ve done wrong but for the life of me I can’t get it set up sending and receiving messages is also super buggy and the store is buggy that’s all I can think of but I know there’s more maybe some of these were fixed with the new update if they were I will edit this review and change it to a 4 star cause the remote play feature still is not working.....

Few problems but Wonderful overall. Recently they came out with an update that has changed this app for the better. They allowed people to join parties on the go. This app is wonderful I love it so much. If I had one wish , it would be for the app to have a feature to (if you Xbox is on a connected to WiFi ) stream it to your phone and connect your controller to your phone maybe using a assesorie(even if you have to be on the same WiFi’s I want it😂 but if you don’t OMG I WOULD LOVE THIS APP SO MUCH) this is probably close to impossible but I have hope to the future . I thought they could never add joining parties to the app , they did . Let’s see what happens in the future (please launch the update idea I have I will go to the store buy the wire and connect my controller to my phone turn my Xbox on from school and play during lunch 😂)

(edit lower review) Good App, but has some ‘issues’. I like this app, but it has some issues as of right now. Sending clipped videos to other apps like text and Messenger just doesn’t work right now. You also used to be able to change profile pic using this app. Now im sure that has nothing to do with the app and more to do with Microsoft cracking down on stupid people making profile pics stuff that breaks tou, but it was still a really nice way to personalize profiles. Theres a “report profile pic” option for a reason. Otherwise great app, makes texting peeps in xbox 1000 times easier rather than trying to with a controller! Edit: they have basically taken away every helpful feature. Finding people is more difficult. Trying to look at achievements or other game data for your profile is non existent to my knowledge. Its just not at all intuitive. And yea you can still text people which is great, but like I would love to use the app to check stats and achievements, and of course go back to editing profile pics.

Minecraft problems. OMG I LOVE THE GAME MINECRAFT!!! But as soon as they connected with xbox NOTHING has been working. I signed up for an account so that i could play with friends while in shelter in place but i can NEVER join their worlds and its so annoying. So its like this: We are playing together and then all of a sudden we get disconnected and we tried deleting the app, restarting my phone, refreshing, and everything. IT IS SOOO ANNOYING and we spend like half an hour trying to get on the game with each other and then within 10 minutes we get disconnected. Also it is soo hard to set up an account. And I don’t think this is a Minecraft problem because everything was working UNTIL i made an xbox account. Please fix your problems. OH and ALSO don’t let me forget ANOTHER problem. Yes another problem!!!! When on Minecraft it says they aren’t playing in their worlds and xbox says they are I never know if they really are and it is just so confusing and I really wish Minecraft would just stay separate from Xbox. Sorry for all the reasons why I don’t like this app but their all true.

Its been almost 9 months guys, c’mon.. I have brought this issue up not once, but twice before and this is the third time I am bringing it up. The screen recording. For the love of god please find a way to fix this. I have a YT channel named “ShisnoGaming” and all of my videos from about 7 months ago to today don’t have any game audio in the clips because I have had to record them off of the website from my mobile device. I have to do this because every time I screen record off of this app, the screen goes black and no audio plays. PLEASE FIX THIS. I was able to get audio from this app when it worked and I dont know why it does not anymore. I currently cant afford a capture card so this is my only option. I want my game audio back so bad! Other than this problem, this is a great app and very convenient for usage so thats why my review is four stars. Please fix this problem as soon as possible!

How does this happen? And can anyone help?. I currently can’t use my account because I reset my password. As normal on my Xbox it asked for my password I entered my current one. It accepted it then i play as usual. A friend messaged while I was playing and I tried to reply on the app. It asked for my new password and I entered my current one again then it paused. It asked for it again and I entered it the same but slightly different (in case I messed it up). Then it denied again I’m feed up now and I rest it again and I try using the password it changed it to yesterday and it says “new password is same as old password”. Now I’m confused because it doesn’t accept my password but it is the right password. I’m confused but I still reset my password and I write it down this time but still nope it doesn’t accept the password. Also I’d like to mention that the new update is questionable. The captures in one place is nice but I’m not a fan of the home page I don’t need to know what my friends are playing I can ask them like a normal person. Whatever I don’t need it anymore just weird that I can’t log in.

Loss of Useful Features. The new update brought a brand new look to the Xbox app at the expense of useful features. We can no longer view and compare achievements. The achievement score is there but the previous ability to view the ones you’ve unlocked or see the progress of others yet to be unlocked is gone. We can no longer select a game and compare our achievements to a friend of our choosing, comparing achievements was one of my favorite perks of the app. Activity feeds are gone, we can no longer share captures to our own feeds or view the feeds of friends to get a quick rundown of what they’ve been up to. It feels like they really restricted the apps capabilities with the update. I’m not sure what my review will do but I hope they bring back some of those very useful features the app once had.

Voice party chat unusable,App keeps quitting.. Ever since the update, the app will quit for no reason while I’m using it. So I go back into the app and after about 30 secs or so, it quits again. It continues to do this consistently..so I stop using the app all together. The party chat is worse. After numerous attempts of trying to get it to work, you can talk for no more than about 3 minutes…And the app just suddenly quits for zero reason. This just happened to me 3 separate times. I used to use the voice chat once in a while, and never really had any issues. If I did they weren’t to this extent of not being able to even USE the voice chat. Highly disappointed. UPDATE: Since the most recent update, things are still the same. The app quits out of nowhere EVERY TIME I use it. I can use it for probably around 30 or so seconds. Also, when I looked up a game to see info/pricing on it, it shows ZERO info..just a white blank screen, other than the cover art. I hate this app with a passion, and I have no use for it now because its basic functions don’t work anymore.

Opinion and a Thankful person.. Great app maybe can you guys add a feature with Google Chromecast so I can show my friend my recorded game play on big screen from my iPhone Xbox App ! But if you can’t I understand I lf you can from The Xbox app I understand if not I even understand . I just though if that ti Day my opinion don’t count much but today my nephew came over and i didn’t want to connect my Xbox to my tV room screen because then I’ll Have to move it but I did though how about if the Xbox app had an option where I can send my recorded plays to my to without my Xbox that’s so cool To have just because I sniped 4 people back to back on fortnite I want to show off lol but anyway Xbox app as is its awesome that’s for such engaging experience couldn’t or have not not met such experiences with a console ! Thank you for being first to me and best !

Great App Until the Last Update and Now I Can’t Sign In. The app worked very well for a while until they updated it. The removed clubs, whenever you looked at something else on the app while you were in a party it turned of the audio and you had to leave and rejoin to fix it. The only good thing with the update was that it looked cooler. And at the time I didn’t really mind the app still worked it was just worse. But then one day it told me to sign in. So I did but then it told me to sign in again. So I did, but when it did it again I decided to change my password. But then with the new password it still kept telling me to sign in. I can no longer do anything on the app other than sign in. Also I tried again on a different device and the same thing happened. Please tell me how to fix this because at the moment there is no point in keeping the app.

The App NEVER works!. I really wish they would fix this app. I have a relatively new iPhone, and yet the app is always slow, and constantly glitching out. Sometimes wont load anything, almost never loads my messages, it will notify me about an invite several minutes after actually receiving one, and recently it stopped allowing me to save my captures. I tried saving a clip two different ways multiple times and it never showed up in my album. Not sure if thats an issue with iPhone but I doubt it since I’m trying to save it through Xbox’s App. Also, if I try to join a party chat on my phone through the app it doesn’t pick up my voice. I can hear the party but they can’t hear me, which doesn’t make any sense to me because I’ve played with people before who used the app as their replacement mic and it let them talk so why not let me talk?? It’s honestly all very confusing and frustrating, I have never had more issues and let downs with an app than this one. I just deleted it and redownloaded it and I’m really hoping that fixes any if not all of these issues...

Just some recommendations. The Xbox app is a really convenient app to check achievements and game progress, but I think it could be better with some of these features. 1. Add touch controls to remote play This will improve the remote play feature massively, as users won’t have to carry their controller on them if they want to play on the go. My vision is fairly similar to what Sony did with their remote play. Overall a good addition to remote play. 2.Return the app to its former “glory” As many of the of the reviews say, the app was fine as it was before the new console came out. Those features were like the cherry on top for the app. I think everyone would appreciate if those changes were reversed. Those where just 2 recommendations that I think will help for the better.

So many problems. This app almost never works. I can click on a message and if I put the phone down to play then pick it back up to chat it just won’t work. Sometimes the chat won’t open at all. Or even if I get it open it won’t let me send a message. Now this is assuming it even lets me click on anything at all when I open it up. Sometimes it just won’t let me look at anything. They recently added the ability to send pictures which my buddies and I like so I can’t n pick it for that anymore but you still can’t look at club pages. If you’re a part of a community on Xbox you just can’t see it clubs on mobile. You have to do it on Xbox. I hope they add that back like they did with sending pictures. I’ve used this app a lot since the latest update and it’s always having issues. I have an iPhone 12 so I know it’s a problem on their end. Fix this. It’s annoying. The 5 star reviews must be really old or fake because I’ve talked to many people and no one is happy with the new update. It looks nice but that’s it.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it dosent. Okay. So I didn’t want to bring my Xbox for my trip to big bear (60 miles away from where I live) and I discovered this. It was great. After a few tests, perfect. I arrive and I go play some games with my friends. The video quality looks like it was streamed on a 52k modem. Everything is pixelated and it didn’t work. There is around a 1/3 second delay from moving the joystick and seeing an action. Which is fine for most games, but for games like call of duty, just forget it. I mean sure, it’s a cool idea, but I wish there was a quality setting for people with slower connections, which would be better with cellular connections and over slower WiFi. Then it looks great, then bad again, then? Yep you guessed it! Better again. Honestly its like playing roulette, you don’t know when it’s good, and when it’s not. If you don’t have NASA grade internet at your home and where you’ll be, I highly advise you to not do this and not make the same mistake I did.

new update is absolutely dog poo. I used to actually use this app but now you cant do anything with it. like, at all. you used to be able to see all of your and your friends’ captures, and now you can only see the most recent ones. you used to be able to check your achievements and time played in each game. now you just cant. i used to message my friends through this app just like normal texting. now it takes 10 minutes to send a message, and you cant send images. voice chats are buggy at best and the whole thing where you can turn on your xbox remotely just does not work. This is my first ever app review, just in hopes that the people who updated this previously functional app will fix the mess they made, and soon. I’m this🤏close to driving to microsoft headquarters and protesting this absolutely trash update. Its not that hard to just keep things the way they were.

Problems connecting to Xbox. I’ve had this app for a long time and I really enjoy it. It’s much faster to send messages on here if you’re in the middle of an online game that can’t pause and a friend messages you. It’s more convenient. However, lately I haven’t been able to use the in-app remote on my app, which makes it so much easier when I get home from a long day at work and don’t feel like turning my Xbox remote on, choosing a show to watch on Netflix, and turning the remote off. It’s a quick and easy way to choose a show remote-free. I’ve tried putting in the IP address, made sure it was on the same network, and I went to the settings and the app connectibility and everything should be working but it’s not. I’d really appreciate it if you address the problem and fix it. I will then leave a 5 star rating once my app works as a remote again. Thank you.

Would have done 5 but online notifications stopped working. There has been an issue with, well for everyone I ask that plays on one, where they no longer get notifications of their favorites being online to their devices but I does still give you that on XBoX if you’re on and one gets online. The image/video upload notification works. Nobody has really made a big deal about this online. A few threads is the support site. I have done all of the uninstall, reinstall, triple checked notifications and privacy settings. Nothing has worked. It is also not working for my friends that have me set as favorite and did all of that stuff I just listed. Is this being address? I saw the recent update and hoped for a fix. It was not. Hope it gets cleared up and back to operating properly.

TERRIBLE APP. Messages are crashing my app This update is the worst update EVER!!! He app was fine before this update. It ran smoothly, and messages were good. I've read some of the other reviews and all of them have one thing in common, messages. My problem with messages right now is that I can't view, send, or receive messages. And when when I even try to view the app freezes and crashes. The website doesn’t work for me either What is wrong with you Microsoft. Just please fix ——————————————————————— I wrote that ^^^^ months ago. And I just came back to write another bad review but clearly Xbox doesn’t care about their app. My app just keeps bringing up a log in screen. But over and over and over again. It says my password and everything else is correct but then still continues to bring up the log in screen and I can’t use anything on the app. It’s useless and it’s very disappointing that I had a bad review already written from months ago and instead of improving the app, it got worse. And idk if I’m the only person having this problem but it’s also not working on any of my other devices

Wasn’t the best but used to be a lot better. I got the app in the first place for convenience with messaging, being able to change my pfp and more easily interacting/seeing clips. They updated it and literally changed all of that. The app looks more streamlined but it actually isn’t that great now. I can’t change my picture (not the biggest deal but still annoying), I can’t like clips, I can’t comment on clips. What happened to the activity feed? I’d like to see friends clips without having to look them up each time. Somehow two of my friends got blocked but I did not block them and I message them a lot on the app so I’m assuming something happened there. Never had a problem with that before. Can’t see messages from people that aren’t your friends on the app as well. Hoping they bring back all of these features because I’m assuming that’s why most people have the app. Hopefully the next update is better, if not I’ll be uninstalling because y’all got rid of every feature I use it for basically.

Bugs: the app. Amazingly, the app has bugs that have persisted through several updates. The friends list won’t load, going to profile settings tells you access is restricted and good luck getting anything to load. If this app were advertised as a giant bug, it’d get a full five stars, outstanding realism of bugs. Despite all that, it has some good features especially party chat and messaging. You can even buy canes and push the download to your Xbox when it decides to load. While that’s good, what good is it really when it doesn’t work? Sometimes I can only get it to work but signing out and signing back in. Yeah I can’t find the sign out sometimes, I think it’s in profile settings. Jokes on me I guess since I can’t access profile setting because I don’t have permissions to my account. Fix all that, I’ll change my review back to five stars guaranteed.

Helpful App for Xbox Gamers. It’s a very helpful app to gamers who play on Xbox. I don’t actual have an Xbox console, and I play on my iPad. I play Minecraft 75% of the time I’m gaming, and I have a lot of great friends who love to play Minecraft with me too. My friend recommended this app so we could call each other and stay connected. It’s really helpful for knowing when your friends are on, what they’re up too, and for communicating. I recommend it for those who would like to stay connected with friends when gaming. Only problem I have with this app is every time I want to see comments on something like a post, image, or video clip in the Activity Feed, it always says “Something went wrong. Please try again later.” I don’t know why, but I haven’t been able to see any comments. I’m giving this app a four star rating but besides the comments glitch, this is a very useful app!

It literally doesn’t work.. You’d think Microsoft of all companies would know how to develop an app, but what they have coded and released instead is more akin to malware. Im using an Iphone 11 but simply booting this app up takes ages and even then its 50/50 if it will show my friends list. When I can see my friends, and invite them to a party it generally takes four of five tries before it works. Most of the time it will simply say something went wrong, or I will be able to join them but not be able to hear anyone and nobody will be able to hear me. The same thing happens frequently when players join my party where they cannot hear me and I cant hear them. Accepting a party invite since the most recent update crashes the app pretty often. The app also randomly crashes pretty often. Messages I send on the app can take forever to go through, but ones sent from my xbox are always instant. I only use the app for lack of a headset but it’s a nightmare to use, it hardly ever works its so frustrating.

Rating five star so people can see.. The xbox app is a good idea. You can message your friends, look at yours or other clips, and join a party. But it is really bugged and they need to fix the lag when you watch clips. It’s very annoying watching someone’s clip and then it freezes but the clip is still going. And it take a long time to load a clip. In my opinion, xbox needs to allow an option when you watch a clip, you can change the quality to make it run smoother at least. At this point, xbox really disappointed me with the whole xbox industry when it comes to games. It’s like they don’t care about the app. In my view at least. Messaging in xbox also has some bug. It says I have a message but I really don’t and when I do see one and I open it and back out, it still says that there is a message.

Buggiest App Created by Microsoft Ever!. The app breaks down and has to be completely restarted EVERY time you receive a phone call or an alarm goes off on your phone. The app breaks down and has to be restarted even if you choose to ignore a phone call you receive! I literally NEVER write reviews but this application has been SO INCREDIBLY buggy I felt I had to give feedback. This is hands down the worst product I’ve ever used that is produced by Microsoft. The application also randomly shifts between using the speaker mode and using the hands-on mode when talking to people using the Xbox app making it incredibly frustrating when you are in the middle of a game trying to hear your teammate and all of a sudden your teammates voices are cut down to a whisper because your xbox app messed up again. Bottom line, I got this app to be able to talk to my friends on Xbox live without a mic, and if you are trying to use the application for the same thing be prepared to deal with a lot of frustration. My advice, don’t use the app and just go buy a mic and save yourself hours of frustration dealing with one of the world’s buggiest apps. Yeah

Buggy app. As a developer I only review apps when they are really good or really bad. This one has been ok, but I expect more from Microsoft. I mean, this is MICROSOFT we’re talking about. Over a trillion dollar market cap company and this app has many bugs. It’s dumbfounding. It’s not an awful app, but key features are broken. Whenever I try to view the videos I recorded on my Xbox on the app, I can never get the videos to play correctly. How can this be so complicated? The most basic website has mastered video playback, but somehow, Microsoft struggles with it in the app. Some videos load. Others load then lag. Others present a sad face icon because they can’t load. And then other times I get a message from the app saying I’m stranded, basically admitting that there was an error. Ridiculous. Also there are issues with the remote play. Like the fact that you can’t. Oh sure you can connect to your Xbox. But even after following the on screen prompt to connect you controller to your phone, and confirming my controller was connected to my phone the app still asked for me to connect a controller and only gave me the options of “Bluetooth settings” and “skip”. The app will not recognize the controller connected to the phone via Bluetooth. These are the main bugs I’ve found, but I’m sure others are there. These are the most annoying for sure. Developers: Please fix this app. These problems are ridiculous to find in an app developed by Microsoft.

Spammers on MK11. maybe ya'll can report these players. I am sick of them: baked gioo, HoodfameTG, DayTheKid1993, WesleyD33rds, Everyoppdrop#873, KEVBOT96, MarioPalacios93, RadHellReaper, Tibucan#6731, Shadow fox#3275, Perks2Crazy, Scuba Jay 115. ; all they do is spam d1, grabs, and abuse unfortunate gameplay loopholes for spamming. mk11 is my comfort game n these woman hating men need to evaporate and become the ground I walk on. they rlly be clinging to their one boring combo along with they freaking umbilical cords bc YOU KNOW them babies ain't left their wombs. If they see this: ya'll are on my list dawg. I ain't playing around no more. I hope you touch-starved losers get a personality and a woman so you stop ruining the game for me. God does not have the balls to keep me from ya'll if you dare to match me again. I will literally pull up with Twilight Sparkle and defeat ya'll with the magic of friendship or something crazy. watch yo back, losers.

Strips away allot of things. Updates, Xbox LIVE Gold, and Xbox remote play restrictions that’s not a good mix for this app now I want this “Xbox LIVE Gold/Game Pass membership” issue fixed as I doubt I’ll be paying for anything anytime soon make due I don’t have a credit cards yet. This update took out/stripped away load and loads of features and stuff I used to be familiarized with back then everytime I connect with my Xbox to be soon back BACK HERE Again with now knowing I need to have Xbox live Gold or a gamepass membership to play with a remote server and that’s definitely a dead giveaway that is actually very scummy first the File Explorers and NOW THIS??? Please hurry and this fixed soon as I’m not paying 12 in game dollars for this I don’t expect an answer from Microsoft or you guys but you have done it with Solitaire Collection so I’m pretty sure you can to the same with this application as well either fix this or give me Xbox Gold for free I don’t care which

Terrible Update. I used to be able to get on this app and message friends, look at game clips, or check to see who’s online. Now, I can barely do any of that. Messages don’t load and don’t send and sometimes I can’t communicate at all and I leave my friends hanging. I’ll go to check on my game clips and they don’t load, won’t fit to the screen, will go to the corner of the screen, and I can’t comment, share, or save any clips. The status of my friends is constantly wrong. It will say that they are offline so I won’t get on to join them, or it will say they’re playing a game and then I get in Xbox to play with them and they haven’t been on in 3 days. It feels like a cheap ripoff of the old Xbox app I was used to. Honestly the only good thing about the update is how the Home Screen looks when you open it. But as soon as you click on anything it breaks. This app was ruined by the update. I can’t do anything that I used to be able to do. If there is a way to reverse the update, they need to do that. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even bother downloading this app.

App crashes whenever I sign into account. So I’ve been using this app for awhile but over the past couple weeks whenever I went to send a message to someone it says this feature can’t be accessed because my privacy settings prevent this from happening so I couldn’t find anything to change in my privacy settings so I tried to delete the app and sign back in and low and behold it worked. So for about a day everything was working normal but then the other day it signed me out for no reason and now whenever I try to sign back in the app crashes. Here’s the catch. I have another Xbox account that I can sign into totally fine and it works fine, but my main Xbox account whenever I try to sign in it doesn’t work. I would really appreciate it if this could be looked at it. It is very annoying. But all in all when working properly the app is great

A few bugs, but overall a good app. I just recently got the Xbox Series S, so I downloaded this app thinking it would communicate with the Xbox very well, however there are a few problems I’ve been encountering since I used the old gen Xbox One. When I go to “manage console and games” and it says it’s on, when I turn it off, it doesn’t do anything. It stays on no matter how long I wait, and I can’t remotely connect to the Xbox to turn it off that way either. Also, when someone sends you message in the Xbox app, it won’t show in the conversation even after you refresh it, you have to restart the app. Now, I do love the remote play feature and when it does work, it plays pretty smoothly and works well for me. I like the “launch on console” feature because it works well and it gets me to the tame fast, which is nice. Overall a good app, but it just needs a little more fixing for me.

Love you Xbox but please bring old features back ❤️. I used the Xbox app a ton before this new update which basically revamped the entire app. I think remote play is amazing and it’s great it’s supported on iOS but a lot of the features that were really nice on the old app aren’t present on this current update. Perks such as seeing your Xbox live feed with your friend’s game clips/progression, game updates/news, updating your own personal profile (bio/pics, checking achievements, comparing your friends vs. yourself on games) lack of an ability to access the store. I’m glad there is still the ability to use your phone as a remote but other than that I’m very disappointed that a lot of the features on the previous version were left out on this new update. Hopefully a new update will allow more customization to player profiles, the ability to see more on the players social feed, & quick access to see game progression/achievements. Hate to write a bad review but I’m hoping I can write a good one when the app offers more.

It works. This app works for what I need it to, which is to download screen captures of gameplay from my Xbox One S to my iPhone. I haven’t explored most of what it can do, but I have found this annoying glitch that when I select a capture in order to watch or download it, it will start playing automatically and when I delete it, the sound of the clip will continue to play in the background long after it leaves the screen. I can go back to the main menu and still hear the audio from the clip. I can quit the app and go back to the iPhone home screen and still hear it. I have been through several software updates and this still happens. Please fix it, because I have to either pause the video before I delete it or force quit the app in order for the audio to stop. It’s annoying!!

Way smoother, but missing a key component. I really enjoy the new layout of this app. It brings mostly all of the important information up front. It makes everything concise yet shows you everything that you need to know. Most importantly to me, the app is way smoother. The app responds to gestures really fast and videos do not pause or lag. This made me very content. I feel the app is missing two key features, including viewing your achievements and a main feed on friend’s captures. You can access your friend’s captures, but it does not feel very streamlined. You have to go to your friend’s profiles individually and find their captures. I wish their were a page to view all of your friends captures, collectively. Overall, the app is a great improvement. I am happy with the update and hope that extra content can be provided in the future.

Convenient - Update. I love this app! It has all the essentials for an on the go gamer. There's only one small issue that I've noticed and compared to the rest of the amazing features, it's a relatively small gripe. Nonetheless, the messaging system within the app works wonderfully but it also contains the only thing that bugs me. It's very time consuming to cleanup or delete old messages. Having to slide left and delete them all individually takes quite a while if you receive messages frequently. Also the difference in text color between a new message and a message marked as "read" is so subtle that it becomes difficult to locate unread messages when trying to cleanup notifications. My suggestions: Install a feature that will let the user select multiple messages at a time and delete them or mark as read. Change the color of the font on new messages and read messages to something more drastic. Perhaps a green text for new messages and white text for read messages. Overall, as I stated in the beginning, I love this app! And I believe updating the messaging system will only increase my enjoyment and ease of use for everyone. Cheers! PS - I pre-installed Destiny 2 with this app and I'm waiting patiently to regain my Light when the clock hits midnight! Xbox, the best place to play Destiny 2 hands down! Console exclusives don't hold a candle to our community. Find me in the EDZ, guardians. Gamer tag: Surelok

Good idea, horrible execution. Only actually useful for changing profile pictures. The one thing I really wanted to do is msg people, and download and manage my clips. The former works well enough, though not good. It takes awhile to send and update messages and going through old ones is a nightmare, (this transfers to the console aswell). The clips are so terrible though. It is fine if you need to go through 1 clip to download it, but it will probably take you a minute to a minute and a half. To download 1 30 second clip. I seriously don’t know how they messed up clips so bad, it is horrendously slow and it doesn’t even let you download your clips half the time. This is especially frustrating when you consider Microsoft gives only a few gbs of cloud storage for clips until it starts deleting your old ones or not fully recording your new clips ( its random witch one it decides to go with) How does a multi billion dollar company mess up so bad. The only reason I use this is because there is literally NO other option. Do better Microsoft.

Remote feature. App works great for screen shots and game captures, to see other Feeds. I mostly use the app for its Xbox remote feature, where it mimics a Xbox controller. The Remote feature is good, I use it a lot for when I’m watching movies, Netflix, tv, etc. However, I’m on an iPhone XS, and the pause and scroll buttons are at the bottom the screen near the home bar. On iPhone XS there is no home button, so there’s a bar at the bottom of the screen that you drag up to go home. The pause and scroll buttons are right where that bar is, and I can never use them. Instead I have to tap the A button, and swipe screen by screen in 30sec increments until I get to a scene I’m trying to see in a movie. It would be nice if the pause and scroll buttons were slightly higher away from the edges of screens so they don’t interfere with a slide home feature like on iPhone XS.

Works as well as it should. The app offers a lot of useful capabilities that I find very useful in my play. Everything works well enough that I have little problems when utilizing its functions. Some bugs are present, but everything has its kinks. These bugs are often fixed by simply restarting the app, or in a few cases restarting the Xbox it’s linked to. Anyone that plays Xbox should probably have this app, seeing as it’s both free and rather useful. The ability to see and respond to messages, even if you aren’t on your Xbox is a great ability. The ability to tell which friends are online by going into the app or having it send you a notification of when they get online is also a favorite of mine. And the ability to type and copy & paste with your phone makes sending messages and inputting commands a breeze. I recommend this to any Xbox user, there’s really no reason to not have it as far as I know. Great work, Microsoft.

Problems with the new update... So, I love the organisation with the new update, but that’s just really kind of the only thing I like of this new update. The first thing I hate about the new update is mostly that you can’t really send pictures anymore in friend chats, so they can’t show you things they want to show you anymore. Second, you can’t see your achievements anymore, or the leaderboard with how many achievement points you have gotten over the month. And possibly, my final opinion, I hate how it takes longer to load into the app. Before the new update, it used to be quick and efficient, especially when you’re on a time limit, but now, it takes about 15 seconds just to load in. It even removed some of the useful features, such as changing your profile picture, and changing/making your bio (if you even want one). I seem to like the old version better, but it’s up to you developers to put it back.

Many features removed. I loved being able to scroll through the marketplace and use pretty much all of the features that were on the guide/dashboard. Now it seems as though everything was removed other than your friends list and messages (which I hear are very buggy. I haven’t had issues though, simply because I don’t use the app for these features) Although I can say that I absolutely LOVE the reworked smartglass features. The media controller now no longer has to reload/reconnect if you lock your phone or switch apps and come back. It is always ready to go once open. As well as the keyboard feature of smartglass being very simple and reliable. As well as the entire smartglass interface being all-in-one and located on one screen meaning I don’t have to load keyboard/volume controls which are now easily accessible when on the controller ready to be pulled up with a tap. If I can combine the app functionality along with the smartglass of this app it would easily be a 5/5. But because so many features were removed I have it a 3. The biggest use of the app for me is the media controller, which is now better than ever. But I don’t see any sense of removing the past features of the app which I did occasionally use. If you use the app only for the controller this update was perfect. If you use the app for anything else get ready to be disappointed.

Awesome app but 2 problems. I can’t change my gamerpic and it has shown this EVERY SINGLE DAY I try to do this and it’s so annoying. Ik that even with Covid-19 going around, my internet has been pretty good but that doesn’t mean that I shouldn’t get to change the smallest things. Please fix this bug when you get the chance. I also didn’t write this review to explain my problems. Xbox app is so awesome. I love how Microsoft made it because it is so helpful to me and all of my family that has it. And just one more thing before I finish this, there is this weird glitch that made it so when I go to one of my friends profiles to look at how many friends they have or something like that and it blackouts my friends list and it takes like 30 seconds to fix. Pls fix this glitch. Thx for your time Microsoft.

Many bugs and issues.. TLDR: it can get essential services done most of the time but often bugs out. In which case, you’ll have to delete and redownload the app. Overall, the Xbox App can get essential services done such as seeing if your friends are online, checking your profile, and joining friend’s parties. However, it can only get these things done MOST of the time. I’ve had many times where the app has glitched and didn’t allow me to join parties. Times where it didn’t let me see if my friends were online and it would show someone was online when they weren’t. Sometimes the Xbox audio in party chat will just randomly cut out and you’ll have to leave and rejoin. And as of recently, the Xbox app has not been notifying me when friends are online. Not to mention, the user interface is also pretty bad. I don’t feel like these are hard issues to fix either. It’s like Microsoft sent one guy to make this app overnight and this is what he hastily slapped together.

I spend alot of time on this app but somethings stand to be improved.. I enjoy most aspects of the app except for two things. The store and playing your clips. I find it really inconsistent when you’re watching clips you have recorded. Sometime the clip will run from start to finish without interruption and other times it struggles with 5 seconds in. I have a decent connection and I find that even when i’m using LTE it still struggles to play smoothly. My biggest problem however is the store. I wish it was better about showing new games that have released. As apposed to showing the most popular games which it does. I know I can search specific game but i’m looking for those gems and I cannot find them if the store only shows the fortnites and the fifas of the worlds. I know the phone app shouldn’t be the place for discovery but anything is better than what they currently have. Including the dlc tab which is usually just occupied with mutiple dlc of the same game. Other than my complaints I like this app very much.

It’s ok... So I recently downloaded this to see what you can do and it was nice at first. I was pretty excited when I first opened this up. I looked around, used my phone as a remote and etc. I had trouble logging on my account because I have a pass key. Likewise, I have no clue what I’m doing when I’m trying to type the RT, LT, etc. buttons. It was very cool but then I tried to see if you can play games or something, I totally lost interest. I just don’t get how this really works. You can’t play games with your phone, many of the controller buttons are missing making account access hard and other issues. Totally wastes the term “Xbox in the go.” Like what are you supposed to even use it for? Just media I guess. Also when my Xbox is connected, it doesn’t let me even push the play button on a game. Wow, this app is kinda bland. But overall it’s ok.

It’s okay, I guess. This app is fun and all but it always kicks me out the app for no reason and it’s annoying!! Sometimes it even won’t load my messages, gets rid of my messages for no reason, and it even freezes and when I’m in a party with someone I have to exit out the app and re load back in. Honestly, I’m my opinion, this app is cool because I can text friends anywhere I go but also really aggravating because it’s easier to spam people and get the phone glitched like what happened to my friend. Her boyfriend spammed her with a random letter and it froze her phone and she had to get a whole new one. On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d rate a 5.5 but again no hate goes to the people who made this app it’s just I wanted to say something about this. Please get this app updated again! Thanks :)

Messaging Issue. I absolutely love this app; I’m able to play with my friends, view clips easily, see who’s online and what they’re playing, and the messaging aspect was great... until it wasn’t. I wasn’t getting notifications even though they were on, and it was stuck on the last time I texted this person so I had to refresh it every couple of minutes. That’s not even the worst part unfortunately. Now, my messages won’t send and all my conversations are gone: they won’t even load and I can’t talk to my friends! This is the only way I can talk to most of my friends so I’m upset to be out of contact with them. I have tried to reset my phone, and even deleted and redownloaded the app, but none of it worked. I really love this app and would love to give it five stars, but I can’t if there is a barrier of communication in the way. I hope you guys can get this fixed efficiently and hopefully stop this problem from occurring in the future.

PLEASE HELP XBOX DEVELOPERS1😤😭 pretty please?. Tell me please or I will give a terrible review and uninstall this app: How the do I get my Minecraft chat to work? It always says: Please fix your Microsoft account, but how does my Minecraft chat have to do with Microsoft? I understand, Microsoft bought Minecraft. But still, like, why? What do I have to do to fix this, plus, every time I try to make a Xbox party or chat with my friends on the app, it says “go to privacy settings to fix this.” I look there, turn everything that is off on, and turn everything that is on off, and it does not work. Either fix this, or just tell me what the heck to do. But, this app is still great, I am just going to end it here AFTER: I need you to somehow tell me how to fix this, either make a Minecraft or roblox account, and friend me, or just fix this. Minecraft name: FosterGamer Roblox name: Dormflaag7781. (If you friend me on roblox, don’t be suspicious in the mind if it has the name DarkTEEAL, it is a display name, not real name.) Thanks, for reading my long review, my fingers hurt!

Interface issues. I have decent internet connection at home but for some reason before the last update and after the last update, remote play has been really awful on iPhone 11. The app has been crashing at times while trying to maintain a remote connection and I keep on getting a message that says trying to reconnect. I’ve done all I can on my end, I’m on the same 5G connection on both my Series X and my iPhone 11 so it is not me that is messing up the interface I’m sure it’s the app. Can you guys please fix the issue I am having because I mostly play remote and not on my TV because my Xbox is in my bedroom and I like to sit in the living room with family so we can talk and watch Tv while playing Xbox. Remote play used to work flawlessly but I don’t know what happened.
