2023-03-03	Oz*****	App is ok, as a useable control, i had to pay for premium to get rid of the ads every second interrupting gameplay but it was only a dollar and it's lifetime so that's cool. However I would not recommend using this app right now, I have no way to contact the developer if I'm having issues and I cannot get the app to connect to my xbox anymore. It was working fine a couple of weeks ago now when I try to connect I get the message: error status 344 unsure how to fix.

2022-10-09	Le*****	Best Xbox remote app available Pros: - can wake xbox if it's asleep - customizable on-screen controller - can hide the on-screen controller (useful for watching cutscenes) - unlike the official Xbox app, you can actually access the store while playing remotely Cons: - settings aren't saved when the app closes - can't return to menu after connecting to console - sometimes loses video feed, no way to recover other than closing/restarting app - can't control on screen controller transparency

2022-03-11	Da*****	App works great. Only thing is that the video stretches to the full screen, which on my phone, is wider than a standard 16:9 TV screen. It would be preferable if it would just display 16:9 normally, but also allow zooming to the width of the device, while maintaining the proper aspect ratio by just cropping off the top and bottom of the screen.

2021-12-28	AJ*****	App is an okay streaming app for Xbox Ones; the controls work good, and when streaming, it has the quality and frames to be able to enjoy your experience. Although, sometimes the app freezes in the middle of a streaming session, so I would have to close and re-open the app completely, also, the one most infuriating part of this app is ads in the middle of steaming. Seriously, how did they not think of how bad that'd be? Just one other thing; your phone battery, of course, dies a bit faster.

2021-11-21	DJ*****	The best available, so I can't be too harsh. I would really appreciate the ability to save my settings, as it is I have to change them every single time I open the app. But hey, I mean it works great aside from that. The ("optional") paid "remove ads" version is required to use the app for longer than 5 seconds, but it's only like 2 bucks for a lifetime license so I really can't gripe about that. All round a decent app, and the best one out. @devs I'd be happy to help with the project, email me!

2020-12-09	Ma*****	FINALLY I CAN STREAM FALLOUT 3 TO MY PHONE. Here are my pros/cons. PROs -On screen nav controls! -good connection over 5hz wifi -FREE! And cheap in app purchases I gladly threw my money at CONs -can not connect via ethernet(needs to be wifi) -not supported on Xbox Series X -stretched video on my phone with no ratio options -does not save any user preferences -needs to enter game before stream (with fallout 3, it game a strange missing game profile error if I started the game via streaming)

2020-11-30	Dr*****	It does what it says it does, but just far too many ads. An ad randomly around 30 seconds or so. On multiple occasions I had two ads right after each other, like 1 seconds between! That happened like 3 times in the space of like 4 minutes! The developer really needs to turn the ad rate down because right now, it's ridiculous.

2020-11-27	Ye*****	I absolutely love this app. You can enable and disable controls on screen so you can use it with a nonbluetooth controller. And also, dev, can you please make the refresh rate better, although its good, it kinda glitches and suddenly stops working. All though 4.5 at my side for rating, if you want to use your XBOX in another part of your house, definitely recommend this app.

2020-10-11	GA*****	Hands down, one of the best streaming app to record a gameplay while you're playing on the Xbox at the same time. But what I kinda don't like is while I'm recording, it oftenly lags and then most of the time, ads keep showing up. Other than that, I would love to continue using the app instead of sticking my USB drive on my console to record because once I stop it, I have a choice on what to share on any other devices.

2020-09-11	x *****	LG V30 phone - I didn't expect this app to be perfect but its pretty awesome still. I work from home and my xbox is in my bedroom but this app lets me play from other parts of the house. As expected there is just a slight lag between what on my phone screen and actual gameplay(a second or less of lag). My only complaint of the app, is it periodically will freeze and I have to completely restart the app. Aside from that, the price for no ads was worth it.
