### 2/5 — Scamming?

*2023-07-03*

So I have an Xbox series x and I use remote play on my iPad. I downloaded this app because I thought it would be better then remote play. As soon as I got in the app, it asked me for my Xbox IP address. I know some of you guys who are Probbaly reading this review is saying “How is this app bad it’s the best one ever.” WRONG for so many good reasons. FIRST, why would it ask for my Xbox series x IP address. Like come on now. You guys are really going to scam 9,10,11 year olds into thinking they can play their Xbox on the iPad or iPhone. Just download the Xbox app and click the top right where you’ll see an Xbox series s or something and click remote play but you need a wireless 🛜 controller not a wired one like I’m using the Xbox series x wireless controller with Bluetooth built in it. So don’t put in your ip address and ✌️.

### 4/5 — Love the app, I HAVE A RECOMMENDATION!

*2022-09-12, version 1.37*

I honestly love being able to play my Xbox throughout my home. Easy enough set up for anyone who would no dumb enough not to know but I have one recommendation though… YOU SHOULD ADD A STEERING WHEEL FUNCTION!!! Like for Forza Horizon games-GTA games-and so on. PLEEAAASEEE! It would be such a good way to improve the app!

### 5/5 — Plz fix glitches

*2022-08-22, version 1.37*

So yesterday I was playing Minecraft on my Phone (using this app because I not paying $7 bucks for a game for everyone)
And there was these sounds that was glitching and some poor quality stuff if you can plz fix this problem plz cause this will be a big help for people that are deaf way this app is still great I raid a 7/10 if you do I giving this app a higher score

### 5/5 — Actually works

*2022-03-08, version 1.37*

So I’m about to go on a huge plane trip and the hotel only has 1 TV and my family is full of gamers, I downloaded this to test out and see if it works and it actually works, if you have like a MacBook or a max air you can get it on that to!!

### 1/5 — Glitchy, unplayably laggy stream quality, and AD SPAM

*2022-01-26, version 1.37*

Literally unusable. The lag is unacceptable in spite of having a very good router with good speeds, which I know is totally capable because I’ve streamed PC games perfectly fine. However here on my xbox with this app, it’s so laggy someone can’t talk in a game without sounding like a robot in the middle of having a total system crash or something. Even if it did work, the ads make it unplayable forcing you to pay for this “free” app. 

I didn’t even get one minute into the game I pulled up before having two different ads crammed into my face forcing me to reach up and close it just to see what I’m doing. Idk if it’s just gone bad recently or what but I really don’t understand how this is sitting at 4.3 stars right now.

### 4/5 — One problem

*2022-01-06, version 1.37*

There appears to be ads in my gameplay, now I have no problem with ads, it’s how you get money, my problem is that it renders you vulnerable while the ad is playing, meaning that if you were doing something important, then oh well, guess you died on day 100 while kiting a boss! Now you have to start again! At least have it auto pause when ads play.

### 5/5 — Need this ASAP

*2021-09-30, version 1.37*

Hi I love this app but it’s missing something Bluetooth audio so u can use audio on ur phone through the game just in case all u have is Bluetooth sense both don’t support Bluetooth audio please invest in this thank u

### 5/5 — Really Good !

*2021-09-29, version 1.37*

Got this app because I use keyboard and mouse on my Xbox and don’t own a controller. Some games you have to press a when the game starts on the controller first and I couldn’t get past that screen. Got this app and was surprised that you can stream plus have an on screen controller. That’s something the First Party Xbox app doesn’t even have ! 5 stars

### 3/5 — Controller input needs fixed, kicks Bluetooth audio

*2021-08-21, version 1.37*

The onscreen controls are a struggle but are responsive- when using a controller the inputs are limited for some reason so I can push ‘up’ or ‘left’ but not ‘up+left’ not being able to run diagonally is a real annoyance.
Also when the app starts it just starts ignoring Bluetooth earpiece and plays audio through the phone- even though the BT is still connected ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  fix these 2 things, heck even just the controller input and you get 5 stars!
Does let you play backwards compatible games UNLIKE THE OFFICIAL XBOX APP!

### 5/5 — My review and wishes

*2021-06-21, version 1.37*

This is an amazing app and for so long I’ve waited for one like it, The only problem is that I wish there would be no ads during my streaming session and some more fixes to the connection and would be make a great improvement. I cannot wait for a update and soon.
