Xbox Console Companion app suggestions

Been using the app on my gaming PC. I have a few quick suggestions for it. It could use a lot of work honestly. And I don't think they should have multiple apps. I think the Gamepass app should be its own section in the Xbox Console Companion app. And the app renamed just Xbox Companion app or Xbox app.

• Allow games to be rated and reviewed in the app. Without having to launch the Windows Store app or website.
• Remove duplicate listings. For example when you search for a game like Master Chief Collection. It brings up tons of duplicate listings of the same thing. It needs to be organized better.
• Allow games to be bought in the app without having to launch the Windows Store app or website.
• Official Clubs for games should have a special section in the Clubs tab. Also add a "tag" for official clubs for easier searching.
• Add a "Patch Notes" or "Update Notes" section to game pages in the Console Companion app, Windows Store page for games, and on the game page on the Xbox console itself. The PS4 has had a patch notes section for a while now. Maybe since day one.
• Allow OG Xbox and Xbox 360 games to be added to the Wishlist. Currently they can't be.
• The "back" button in the top left corner of the app should actually go back to the last thing you were looking at. The last page that you were on. Not to the home screen/page. We have a "Home" button for that. Back should go back.
• The "My games" section should show the games that you own. Just like it does on the Xbox console itself when you go to your Library. Currently it just shows computer games it detects on your computer. It's really weird that this doesn't show that Xbox games you own.
• Integrate third party chat into the "Messages" section on the right side of the app. I believe Gamebar has done this already.
