Why is the xbox app so bad
New Xbox App update is a DISASTER! Achievements, Activity Feed, Redeem Codes, Profile Pictures GONE!
what is going on guys hope you're doing
well as you can tell by the title we're
going to talk about the xbox app update
that happened about a week week and a
half ago
and just how we've lost every feature
that
like we really used it for i mean
for the people that love achievements we
can't see our recent games we can't see
achievements we're working towards the
progression all you can see is just your
overall gamer score which you
probably always know in the back your
mind not even my own achievements i
can't even see my friend's achievements
there's nothing that makes me more happy
than seeing a friend progress towards a
game
and then on the activity feed i see that
they pop into achievement i'm like oh
they they did it all right there
that's that uh friends list part that
you actually need to feel like
you're part of the community another one
that kind of rubs me wrong
is the captured clips portion that's how
i make youtube videos that's how i
save clips and put them onto twitter
instagram facebook you name it and all i
can do now
is just click and expand it but there's
no way to actually download it
and i know there's like the xbox dvr app
but we've already had
what everything we ever needed that was
on the app anyways
now this next one's kind of a bigger
deal for other people i don't change my
profile picture that often
um because my profile picture is just
mega blaziken
but for a lot of people they seem to
change their profile picture a lot and
the app made it really easy just picking
photos from your phone you have to go
through
all the the bs of going through the
website and all that
so i feel like this is just another
personalized
uh format that we just lost completely
now this next one i could have lived
without but it was actually really
convenient to have and that's redeeming
codes
anytime i got a code for dlc or anything
i could just go in the xbox app and it
would you know go ahead and sync to my
account
but now i have to go through the store
and type it in manually through my
controller which
we all know how slow that can be so this
one is the
one of the last ones on my list but it's
still kind of annoying that we lost such
a cool feature
overall guys it just blows my mind about
the amount of features that were taken
away
all for cloud gaming apparently and
if you if you've never used the app i'm
sure the app looks perfectly okay to you
but for the people that have been using
it for years now
this is just kind of a slap in the face
especially now that we're
a week and a half two weeks away from
the new consoles
like it's such a downgrade and i do not
understand why this decision was made in
general
if you go to the app store right now and
look at all the most recent reviews
there's a lot of people that are in the
same boat as me that are just upset
about the just lack of awareness that
there was put into place for all this to
even happen
so xbox microsoft if you're listening
please change it back give us the option
just do something because it's just not
usable right now
