Xbox One and Xbox One Smartglass. just horribly designed and not very functional, should fix ...

Ok, so Xbox One's friend list already is messed up in its design because of the overall design there are many issues that arise just from the fact that you have to go into your profile and then into your friends list.. you have to have "followers" instead
of friends and all sorts of other stupid things that are just wrong with it, but I can deal with that because it still works (not well... but it works). On the other hand your "Smartglass" is not smart. There are so many issues, here is the main list off
the top of my head:

1. There is not a section to view online friends. You have to go into your friends list and scroll through all of your friends to just see a little dot next to their name to let you know that that person is online.

2. You cannot check what your friends are actually playing. Once you've finally found someone who is online and you want to see what they are playing, good luck, that isn't an option. You can see their "activity feed" (which is a terrible concept all together,
but let it be.. whatever.) but you can only see "gamertag" played madden 25, 5 hours ago.... really? how difficult would it have been to just put in: "gamertag" is currently online playing madden 25... its simple, do it.

3. The connectivity between a tablet, smartphone, whatever device you want to connect via smartglass to your xbox one is just bad, you constantly are having to resign in on your xbox under the profile so that the tablet can recognize what it is supposed
to do. And it loses connection and "gets lost" in what it is supposed to be doing.

Those are the 3 MAIN/MAJOR issues that are wrong with this so called "smartglass" that really isn't smart at all. I mean come on, we all paid at least 500$ for this new system and you are marketing the hell out of smartglass and all of its features but it
is terrible... If you can at least just fix one thing allow us to see the status of online friends. Seriously? Xbox 360 had a better designed app for smart phones then what you put together for xbox one, just add in the ability to see who is online and what
they are playing, it's really not too difficult for a company like Microsoft to program something (or at least I would hope you guys know how to do that...). If you are going to continue to market smartglass so much at least make it halfway decent (it currently
is not).

FIX IT!

end rant.

Thanks,

Nick.

Xbox one Smartglass

The 360 one is now listed in the Store as 'Xbox 360 SmartGlass' rather than just Xbox SmartGlass.

As for what changed in the One version, no idea. Very minor bumps in version numbers, probably just some stability or bug fix.

 

I cannot be download X1 SmartGlass at 8.1 Surface RT

I have the same tablet.

Xbox One Smartglass is on the store for me.

In the search bar type Xbox One Smartglass and it should show up. just select it then install
