Xbox 360 SmartGlass for Android
Why even make it if you're not going to update it? We know you want us to buy an Xbox One, but some of us still like the 360. The swiping threshold is WAY to high for swiping between screens, you have to go across the entire screen. Also, messages don't automatically refresh, you have to reopen the app to receive new ones! If anything, this poor service motivates me to get a PS4, or better yet: a PC
So the app works fairly well, my phone connects no problem, but one issue I am having is when I go to tap the "A" button on the screen it doesn't work consistently or it won't register that I have actually tapped it. Another problem I'm having is when I am on YouTube the keyboard will not pull up. Yet it works for messaging. Just wish it was a consistent app. Other then that I enjoy not having to use my controller all the time. Especially for Netflix and YouTube when I'm on a homework binge.
Great! Touch controls work smoothly and easily. I don't know why I waited to try this app, because it is really great. Just make slight swipe left or right and tap middle for "A" button and 3 corners are used for additional buttons. I just got it and it worked great! It definitely improved from years ago when it didnt work right, so this is awesome!
The app use too work for me but after an update it stopped working every time I open the app it tries to sign me in but it says it cannot connect to xbox services. Ive tried deleting and 're installing the at least three times on separate occasions. Im using the galaxy s3. Any info on how to fix the issue from my end will be helpful
As this app is very useful for quick messaging, that's about the only use I have found for it I of highly recommend for that but that's about it. I have been having some extensive issues recently though. The apl won't open right and say it can't sigh into Xbox services or it will open but just go back to the sign in screen as soon as it loads.
I like this app, I can go to youtube and watch videos from there so I dont have to waste battery, and I can join my friends in bo 2 early, but i would like it if they made it available to play games with xbox 360 smartglass. Sure, it would be hard playing extreme games, but it would be worth it. You know, maybe use flat joysticks in the middle and lb rb rt lt buttons on top! It would be perfect! Over all, I give it 4.5 stars, rounding up.
It works great but I downloaded this so I can play games but the controller doesn't turn Ninety Degrees to the right or left. And you can't play Games with this the whole reason why I downloaded this app is so I can use it as a controller because mine has broke. It will be very convenient if you could make it turn so we can play games like if it was a real Xbox controller. Then I will give you your four stars.
Come on Microsoft, most of your customers are still using 360's. Also, as for fixing the app for lollipop, check again - no you didn't. Edit: fixed most of it for lollipop, remote still doesn't work. Remote is the main use for this. One more star for effort though Edit: fixed the remote. Still doesn't have the functionality of xb1 smartglass, one more star for having a functional app finally
I agree. I had an Xbox and used the app and it would crash in the middle of me using it. But I givr it 3 stars because I could see all my friends online without getting on. For minecraft the typing feature for signs were especially helpful
It would get higher rating if I could buy from the marketplace like I can on the PSN app. Pretty pointless app unless you want to see which of your live friends are on before you turn on your console or you want a lazy cheap remote for video. Plus god forbid you need to recover or reset your password.
While I'm logging in every time I hit the overview button to look at my 2FA code the app resets the log in process. So either you have to be super super fast entering your username and password before your authenticator code changes or you will need a second device so you can get your code. Guys, this already is the second device to my console. Weather deliberate or not this is not good.
Love this app but on the s6 edge phones (both my boyfriend and I's so I know it isn't just my phone) all the other buttons on the remote work great on first try but to get the A button to work I have to tap the screen about 10 times to get it to work for what should only take one push... I'll give more stars if this ever gets fixed
Great app, just needs an actual A button. Navigation works well, but to tap and select not so much. And if there was a live controller interface. I would pay for that one. Granted it acts and has all fuctions of a true xbox controller.
In remote mode the app supports the colored buttons and stick movement (via swipe gestures), but does not support trigger, bumper, or joystick press actions. This makes it useless for things like pausing, skipping forward/back, etc. in Windows Media Center. The keyboard mode is also unavailable, which precludes its use as a possible work-around or for entering search strings.
It would be great if videos could play. And if when sending a message they included the person's account that you clicked on to send a message in the first place. And if the messages actually sent instead of failing. And if it weren't so slow and finicky. And if it were compatible with the back button on your phone so that when you touched it, it wouldn't close the app entirely but go to the previous screen you were just at in the app.
I downloades this for when I watch Netflix with the misses but the controller function doesn't work. 8 can see what I'm doing with my profile fine. I think the thing that bothers me the most is it works great on my galaxy s3 but now on my note 4 nothing. Please fix this feature it was awesome.
Everytime I try to load up a game it says there's a problem with this experience. Everything else works like I can use my phone as a remote and stuff but won't load fable anniversary and such..... Will change rating when issue is resolved. Thanks.
It's a remote alright but I can't understand how it can use so many functions of the phone except for the mic. Please update the app to do so I'm begging you. I will up my rating and advertise the app for you free of charge if it can integrate the mic for XBOX live chat. This addition will also boost the demand for your product as there is no app anywhere that enables this.
Device :: Lenovo A916 KITKAT 4.4 Takes forever to sign in, even on same network. Times out before it will ever sign in. Doesn't give me login credentials. When it times out out it says " Cannot log into Xbox services. Try again later." EVERY SINGLE TIME this happens.. Used to work perfectly fine.
Listen I like it but I think I should be able to use this to record videos of the game or xbox I'm playing and save it to my phone. I don't wanna go out and pay a ton of money for a thing that doesn't work when I can use my phone for free and know it works. Please update and add this feature.
Love the app but for some reason it will not allow me to use it keeps saying I need to go to my account settings and fix it. Why I am unsure. I can log into my Xbox one smart glass just fine
I really like this app. You can customize your avatar, change profile settings, check achievements, and the best of all ; use your smartphone as a remote while playing movies! The only thing I wish would be added, would be a few more buttons for the remote. Maybe a menu button or info button.
It stopped working. Everything else seems to work fine. But thenonly game i actually used it for was fable.....i can dtill control the xbox otherwise...so this is very frustrating. I continue to get the same message with fable though, there was a problem starting this experiencd... (>. <)
Had that app for almost an year now, and I'm using a galaxie S3. All you people that has trouble with this its cause you don't know how to use it or you have virus's in your device. This is the best xbox app made I go on it to message people and play my movie's and music and sometimes explore for new games and movies
Relly whats rong with you guys. Why do you need to help me protect my account. I have a password. And my phone number so I get a piece of crap letter . It wont even go through , I hope they shut you down. You guys are the reason they dont make fun games
So the Xbox 360 SmartGlass used to always work for me but now it doesn't seem to be connecting to my xbox live account so maybe you people at Microsoft can give me a message back or something so you can tell me what I can do to fix it
So I wonder if all you guys know that keep saying it's not connecting... that your 360 needs to be on! This is an amazing app I use it for many different things and I love it, nothing wrong with this app! Deserves a 5 star!
Starting to receive connection errors with Xbox services. Also, I wish it would run in the background while enabled so that it doesn't have to reconnect every time my screen times out.
UPDATE: it's been fixed! I can use this app just like I used to! This app used to work perfectly! But for the last couple of months, whenever I try to sign in, it goes to a blank white screen. I have both a 360 and a One but only use it for my 360. Does it not work for that anymore???
This app makes it easy to keep in touch with friends you game with, clans or groups! I really love it for when I'm on the go! I am in a clan; "The Crazed Assassins" that spawn over several first person shooter games and has some of the best players in the world! It is often imperative that we communicate and coordinate strategy ..bla.. bla and so on.... I love this app!
Doesn't connect at all to my 360 even though my Lumia had no issue connecting to the same 360 a matter of months ago. I will say though, the Xbox One Smartglass works just fine.
I got this app so I can keep in touch with my Xbox buddies. I thought the ability to see and reply messages was going to do that, but it doesn't auto refresh messages. Even the refresh button doesn't auto refresh messages. Can this be fixed? Please?
Makes for a good screen flashlight if you need one though. This app no longer works for me after reinstalling to try to solve the issue of the "A" button not selecting when you tap the screen. App now gets stuck on white screen after pressing "sign in".
Works for some things, but doesn't for others. Playing Fable Anniversary, you select map options (keys, chests, etc) only to find that they don't appear on the map when selected. I can launch a game, but I can use a controller for that. I got this app for EXTRA game features not available with a controller.
When searching with some apps like YouTube and netflix the keyboard doesnt come up on my phone. But the keyboard does come up other apps like wwe network hulu vudu,please fix it to work with netflix and YouTube
Works great and use it with 2 different xbox 360. Xbox one has its own app. Make sure you turn it on in the system settings. If you do not have th option for it turned on in the settings it will not connect or work. You also have to be logged into the same WiFi and the profile has to be the same on the app and your xbox.
No matter what I do I can't connect my Xbox to smartglass. I don't know if its something I'm doing (or not doing) but I've tried everything I can think of, and everything I've googled.
I didn't know what to think when I saw this so I just went with it. It's really easy to use and I don't have to get on my 360 to look at my achievements. It's pretty great over all even. It hasn't crashed on me or anything
Will not connect if my life depended on it. Strong wifi and an active xbox gold membership, but no luck with this app.

Why can't I use Smart Glass with Minecraft? When I click the chat icon in Minecraft, it takes me to the other XB app. The regular one. I don't want to have to dnld both XB apps. I don't want both. Just Smart Glass coz it's epic like that. Why are there so many XB apps anyway? This app is smaller than the other XB app. Smaller apps is cool. Plz fix the Minecraft cross-platforming chat and social plug-in issue. Thank you. Been with XB since 2002. They fix my consoles and send me Gold! Never gonna leave XB!
