Version 2023.04.1

Yesterday My Xbox X clips would load into the app but it stopped working today. I triple checked all my Xbox capture settings, uninstalled and reinstalled this app, removed and re-added the XBox X console and nothing has made it work. I was literally playing a game, clipped 3 short captures, and 2 uploaded and the 3rd never did.

I also cannot delete any of my clips from the app any longer. Yesterday I was able to delete clips once I downloaded them to my phone but cannot delete anything today and cannot have any new captures load to the app today.

I even went as far as removing my console from my internet and adding it back but nothing I do works now. I just can't load videos from console to the app and I cannot delete videos from the app.

I’d love it if my captures actually uploaded to the mobile app FROM my Xbox, AS INTENDED. Or if, when I delete a capture on mobile, it STAYS deleted. Instead of returning every time I refresh the page. Basic functionality of the app is utterly failing. You’re Microshaft, you pride yourself in a working technology. Or so you like to claim.

Version 2023.04.1

When I got the app I wanted to see all my clips and start like a YouTube or something and I am scrolling through my clips and I don’t even see all the clips I have on my Xbox on my phone and when I clip something it gives me a notification I tap on it it will say oops looks like you’re stranded, and it won’t give me my Clips. It won’t upload. it’s really annoying because I can’t have those and when I send a notification to my phone from my Xbox, it says the same thing. So it’s not good for clips everything else I think is good idk.

Don’t bother using this app. They’re super racist and they hold back black content creators by creating complications with their account. They’ve done this numerous times to me, it sound tinfoil hatish but it’s true. They’ve changed my passwords, I’ve taken screenshots, pictures, and live videos with witnesses while creating accounts and bam suddenly my account information isn’t accurate. I’m calling them out on every platform I can because I’m sick of it. You people will never hold me back again and eventually I’ll see you people in court….if you have enough integrity to actually face me.

I hope they see this because this is starting to get annoying. When using the app I am unable to delete the captures I don’t want anymore. And also it takes forever for any captures to upload, as in it won’t show up on the app even tho it tells me it’s been uploaded. Sometimes I refresh it and it pops up for a bit and then it goes away. It’s getting annoying, please fix this

The app itself is alright, the Xbox parties seems to glitch and bug out every so often. My main issue is the game capture side of things, Everytime I tried to upload a game clip or screenshot to the cloud it’ll never show up. It’ll make the Xbox itself say it’s not uploaded even though I have already uploaded the clip or screenshot on the console. It gets really annoying sometimes.

Like most users, I enjoy using this app on my phone and PC but what I don’t understand is the linking process for example, I own slime rancher 2 it shows up both on the console and in my Xbox app on my PC but I also own the game terraria it shows that I own it on the console but I cannot play it on the PC. It doesn’t even show up in my library. And vice versa I own Minecraft on PC and it shows that I own it on the PC Xbox app. It doesn’t show that I own it on the game Consol I don’t understand why I don’t get shown every game I own on my Microsoft account on both the game Console and the app

Thanks for listening signed a user

As a long time user of this app I really enjoyed it! I could install games remotely and share clips with friends a a lot faster. But recently this crappy app keeps removing my Xbox but not my account, it wont reconnect unless it freaken feels like it and most pathetically it causes party chat to crash when I’m in it. I have amazing internet don’t get me wrong, it’s the convenience factor. The fact I can do it from my PHONE and not throw on a headset and fire up the Xbox. It’s sad that this is happening.

a very bad app that seems very lazily made and frequent problems are never fixed after years of app being out. its just a slow cluttered mess of an app. I usually only us it to message friends. since the rest of the apps functions are like smashing my head against a brick wall, I just close the app 90% of the time because it just to garbage to use by any means.

And in 2023 this app still cannot properly rotate screens on phones

I didn’t realize the depth of this app. There are so many things I am allowed to do without my Xbox even being powered on! It is very flexible and very user-friendly. And there is so much more to do if your Xbox is on or even just in sleep mode. Download games or DLC while at work or at the store or while watching TV. Then by the time you get home it’s ready to go!

Visit the store and make purchases. Look for deals or check out your own library and reinstall a game that you used to play. And lots more!

2023-04-17

Version 2023.04.1

I use this app almost exclusively for joining parties. I use my BT headphones as I don’t have a headset.

As for the part chat UI itself, it’s fine. However it constantly has bugs. It’s super sluggish navigating it, often times it just simply does not work, I join the party and the other person says “disconnected”.

If I get a phone call whilst in a party on the app, it automatically disconnects my BT headphones and I cannot get the audio from the party to go back unless I close the app out, reconnect my headphones and rejoin the party.

It’s really a pain to use and not enjoyable, I can’t speak for the other aspects of the app however.

So many improvements!!

Version 2023.04.1

As someone who has stuck with this app since it’s launch, I can say that it’s come a long way! Way more accessibility throughout the app than in previous versions and connectivity to my Xbox without having to be on the same wifi is my favorite low key feature.

While for sure it’s earned all five stars the app still isn’t perfect. Scrolling through saved clips is still a challenge. It would be nice just seem less Lu transition from one clip to another without so much bouncing back and forth. The responsiveness could be a lot better. Not a big fan of the video player the app uses either.

Besides that, Microsoft keeps giving me reasons to stick with my console! If you’re an Xbox user, you definitely need this app.

Great app, just wish there was a way to change my avatar on it

I have to say, as a “gaymer” who’s held a controller since I was physically old enough to & wholeheartedly loved falling my entire life, then became disabled & quadriplegic in 2016, you guys with this app development & accessibility options have very much made gaming possible for EVERYONE. So I wanted to take this review opportunity to say from the bottom of my heart, a HUGE thank you. From me & I’m sure from everyone else who’s in a position such as myself, who needs this type of software to be functionally & physically capable of networking with all of our friends, all around the world as we continue our digital fight for good! Lol. So very sappy, I know. Thank you!!!!

Why is it every time this app gets an update it completely removes the ability to connect to a remote system because it’s saying that it’s never been set up before? This is a series of issues that have plagued the app from the get go. This completely negates the ability to use the app as intended when away from my home. If someone is able to explain this for any reason I would love to hear it.

Version 2023.03.2

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.

BRING BACK CLUBS

2023-01-08

Version 2022.12.2

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……

Overall pretty good

2022-11-05

Version 2022.11.1

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.

Tragically disappointing

Version 2202.210.2340

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.

By mistake

Version 2111.1122.1929

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.

A few bugs, but overall a good app

Version 2110.1026.2232

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.

Good but needs settings to be clearer

Version 2110.1026.2232

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

Pretty bad app if you ask me

Version 2109.917.1754

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

Version 2108.825.2222

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.

Notifications & voice memos

2021-07-28

Version 2107.716.2237

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….

Version 2106.611.205

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!

Version 2105.506.2320

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. 💚

Remote Play Needs Improvement

Version 2104.415.637

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.

Really good way to connect to gaming on the go

Version 2104.415.637

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

Broken parties

Version 2103.317.2023

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 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.

Revert back to original update

Version 2012.1207.2321

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!

New update adds what?

Version 2012.1207.2321

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. 🪦

Version 2012.1207.2321

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.

2021-01-02

Version 2012.1207.2321

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.

The new update:

2020-12-15

Version 2012.1207.2321

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.

Good app, but very glitchy.

Version 2011.1117.2218

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!

Security and new update

Version 2011.1117.2218

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.

Version 2009.1009.1918

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

It’s simply ok.

2020-11-10

Version 2009.1009.1918

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.

Was a great app, but new update is a BIG downgrade

2020-11-05

Version 2009.1009.1918

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.

Remote Play does not work

2020-11-04

Version 2009.1009.1918

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.

CAPTURES ARE HORRIBLE NOW

2020-11-04

Version 2009.1009.1918

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.

No Gamerpic Customization

2020-10-31

Version 2009.1009.1918

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.

New Update - WORST POSSIBLE APP

2020-10-27

Version 2009.1009.1918

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.

Loving the new redesign!

Version 2009.1009.1918

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!

I have one thing to say

Version 2009.1009.1918

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.

New Update...

Version 2009.1009.1918

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.

They took a huge step BACKWARDS

Version 2009.1009.1918

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.

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?

The App NEVER works!

Version 2003.326.129

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...

So many bugs

Version 2003.326.129

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.

Been done but a giant bug for Xbox app users

Version 2003.326.129

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.

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.👍🏻

Version 2001.123.1027

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

Xbox One App is..... okay?!

Version 1912.1213.1700

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

Version 1912.1213.1700

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.

Good concept, but incredibly broken.

Version 1906.625.1605

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.

Messaging Issue

Version 1905.0516.1805

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.

Great app... just a suggestion.

Version 1902.0226.1354

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.

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.

Buggiest App Created by Microsoft Ever!

Version 1808.1003.1929

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

Version 1804.0504.1724

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.

Works as well as it should

Version 1712.1212.0358

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.

Convenient - Update

Version 1708.0829.1041

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!
