hey guys Davey here fumble calm and in this video I'm doing a review on the just released my xbox live app on Android and also be comparing it to the iOS version which got some new features of its own so go ahead and sign in I don't know if you guys heard that little sign-in sound sounds just like the Xbox when you select something I'm on the expo itself you're taken to this home screen which is spotlight featured videos that you can watch you can swipe over to the right and you have your social tap here you'll see your avatar for your Xbox Live account your little motto you have your friends list right here so you could tap on this guy and see which friends are online and when they last logged in you could hit your messages and you know listen to any messages you have or you can even send a message by hitting this little send envelope right here at the bottom you could send a message to with our friends so for example if I wanted to send a message to this guy or multiple ones I can just check them like that I'll sit check for one and you know I can just type my message in here so pretty cool functionality well this is this little X right now the back out of here another thing you have is the ability to edit your avatar so I can hit this little icon right here with a shirt tap it and you can see it gives me options to edit my avatar so he's gonna run on-screen any second there you go I could edit you know his style and you know change what closes wearing head wear all that good stuff that you guys are used to with that sports live I'll go ahead and back out of here and I'll show you the next tab and the next tab is just basically your recent games and your achievements so you can see you know my achievements and what they hit minesweeper you know you can just tap on pretty much any game see what your achievements are what you've uh you know done with that game and it's taken a while to load see if it finishes loading so you can see that little icon right here showing that it's still loading up in the background it's taking pretty long so it's gonna back out of here but anyway that's pretty much all you have on the Xbox version of the app you know you have your spotlight future videos your social tab and then your game so its pretty cool me you'll be able to listen your messages and uh or send messages you're able to see what friends are online and also you're able to see your recent game but on the iOS version what it has is so let me go ahead and unlock this guy so I already have the app opened up on the home screen is similar to that spotlight screen on the Xbox version or I'm sorry the Android version but if you swipe over to the right you have your same social so you have the same options here and then uh your recent games but what's different on the iOS version is when you go over again you have this quick play option so this actually lets you control your Xbox through your phone so I could just tap on connect to xbox it's gonna connect to my xbox I don't know if you guys heard that noise in the background but that's my Xbox and you choose something to start so for example if I wanted to do the ESPN app I could go ahead and tap on that guy and it actually turns into a remote control so I could actually control you know what's going on on my xbox from here so it actually works really well you know very little lag here on high-speed Internet at least I'm connected to Wi-Fi so it's gonna work fine um I definitely like it you know for being able to watch movies or you know using the ESPN app and watching game on ESPN being able to pause it and things like that all from my phone instead of using the controller is definitely definitely really cool the Android version like I said doesn't have this yet but you know it's just a initial release so I expected to get it sometime in the future but definitely cool functionality other than that the iOS version just has a Discoverer page where it has some of the things that you see on the Xbox Live dashboard where you know the Android version doesn't have it so anyway that's pretty much it for me in this review slash comparison if you found this video helpful please hit the like button and subscribe and don't forget to visit Bombo comm for cell phone news reviews and how to's thank you
