Why is the xbox app so bad
New Xbox App Refresh Update - Oct 2020
okay so hopefully this video gets
outdated pretty quickly right now
it is october 20th 2020 and i'm making
this video in response basically to all
the comments that i'm getting
on a video that i created back in
september about the new xbox app that
was coming to mobile
um you can and also on windows 10
tablets phones
all of that um they had a big overhaul
we saw the split out of like game pass
and family settings and all that stuff
were on their own app cloud gaming you
can now stream
to your app from the console anywhere
you are and there's lots of cool new
features there
one of the main concerns though uh was
what happened to all of my stuff the
answer back then was well it's in a beta
you know things aren't finalized yet um
you know and we'll wait until it
releases well
released and it seems as though those
features are still missing
so obviously that's going to be a little
disconcerting
to think like well now it's out this is
it um but that isn't the case
so i figured we'd make a quick video
about it and we'll go over a few things
i'll answer a few questions
and let's just take a look and see what
we can do about it
okay remember this back when you had the
customize button underneath your gamer
tag you could click that and then just
change your gamer pick from there
um or you had the thing over here at the
top where you had things like activity
feed achievements and clubs
um those things are missing now but um i
have the beta which i'll show
right here we can see that there's quite
a bit missing
um you know from before but that's what
we're gonna address it would be nice to
have that customize button right here
underneath my gamertag
but if we click on this cog in the upper
left uh upper right hand corner
and scroll down here to the bottom it
says give feedback
and then summarize your feedback and
tell us what happens so one of the best
thing that you can do
to summarize is just put a short blurb
like i miss
changing profile pics or something like
that or just something to call attention
to it doesn't have to be
anything too detailed and then down here
where it says required you got 400
characters so that you can say
um you know how a missing feature
affects you or what you liked about it
or what you wish was back or whatever
the case may be
you know because not everybody is in the
same situation we all don't have an xbox
anymore you might be a cloud gamer now
and
you know maybe the tablet and this is
your only link
that's very possible in the future is
that's what it's going to be like and so
want to make sure that this app has
everything we need it to have
and this is the way to do it so make
sure you're be courteous in there and
don't complain you can go leave a review
or whatever in the app store if you want
to but this is really going to be a good
way
to get all of that information to the
developers i'm sure they probably
already
know most of it and it's just kind of
the way things worked out that it didn't
get integrated into this update
but i'm pretty confident that it will
come back because xbox if anything has
been crazy good about listening to this
fan base
and it's through an app like this where
you can give the feedback directly
that that takes place and so we've seen
that with
smart glass going to the xbox app you
know it wasn't the greatest when smart
smart glass was so much better and had
so many more features when the xbox app
came out and now the xbox app is
something we wish we had back this will
happen again as as this new iteration
and you know the different architecture
gets built so that it works better with
series x
use this feedback let them know what you
want and i'll probably have another
series a little bit of videos or
questions i'm going to go through some
of the comments here and
and and maybe address some of the other
things that people have been talking
about missing features that are
available here
um maybe they're just not as easy to
find
because it's not second nature yet or
it's not clearly marked or whatever the
case
so that being said if you guys have any
questions comments or whatever
feel free to leave them down below on
this i do read them and i do make videos
by responding to them as you can see
because this was obviously spawned from
from the other video so if you have any
questions or anything like that
feel free to drop them down below i
definitely love connecting with you guys
and i will see you all in the next video
where three and a half weeks
three weeks two and a half weeks it's
not that long it's just a couple of
weeks away from the new launch and i
cannot
wait to celebrate that with you guys so
have a good one and we'll see in the
next video
