Xbox App Design

I love having Xbox on PC, but the app really isn't all that great in terms of it's layout. The game library is probably my biggest gripe, since the game tiles can't have their sizes adjusted like Steam has in 'Grid View', and they end up being only around
3/4" x 3/4" on my screen, which is way too small. Also, why is there now a windows Store icon in my games library since the new update? There's already a link to the store in the menu on the left of the screen! People aren't having a tough time finding the
store, it's just that there's not much in terms of games that people really want to play, and from what I hear, nobody likes the way the Window Store is set up.

Another thing that really bothers me is the Windows store, and how ugly it is. I can't stand how all of the garbage cell phone/tablet games are mixed in with the big budget triple A games. It looks like a complete mess. I really hope that this is not what
the unified store is going to look like in it's final iteration. Overall, the Xbox One's user interface and the store on Xbox One, are so much nicer, and are in a class of their own. The Windows Store doesn't even resemble a video game marketplace, but rather
some sort of offshoot of the Windows Store that sells tablets, PCs and video game hardware. It's just not a welcoming place to be for someone looking to download digital games.

Whoever is in charge of the Windows Store and the Xbox App, doesn't have a clue. It doesn't take more than 1 minute of using these services, and just looking at these things to realize that they are not going to appeal to PC gamers or console gamers for
that matter. And forget about how much better the Xbox One interface and game store are compared to it's PC counterpart, Steam and Origin are set up so much better in my opinion, that at this rate, it feels like it's going to take 5-10 years for Microsoft
to catch up.

I'm a big fan of Microsoft's direction overall, but it's frustrating to look at the PC side of the Xbox experience, because it's too obvious that the Windows store and the Xbox App look terrible, and in the case of the Xbox App and the games library, you
don't have any customization options, and now we've got a link/ green square in the library section that was totally unnecessary, and it's annoying to look at.

This is sad

The Xbox One app has more issues than the Xbox 360 Hulu app, and the design and UI is also one of them. Another is the random skipping around when streaming.

 

Hulu Plus App on Xbox One

MS has nothing to do with Hulu's app design. Hulu is responsible for its own app.

 

Hey BattleAxe Elite,

Thanks for the feedback, we certainly welcome it! I'll forward this to the development team for consideration.
