Remote control for Xbox 4+

It’s a great app, really and it actually works which is shocking. The only problem is the poor design which you don’t really care about if you’re having problems with your remote and all you want is to turn on a show to watch. The only reason why it doesn’t have five stars is because I don’t like the number five.

I’m lazy and don’t like having to get up and grab my controller just to navigate to a streaming service (not to mention I hate using up good controller battery for these non-gaming tasks) & we all know Microsoft’s voice control doesn’t work well.

The only thing that’s always within arm’s reach is my iPhone, so I was looking up ways to control my Xbox with a smartphone and learned about “SmartGlass.” I was looking for that app and found this one instead. The other reviews say it didn’t work for them but mine is working great so give it a try before writing it off.

I’m only using it for non-gaming tasks like navigating to apps and controlling playback etc. If I wanna actually game I don’t mind getting my real controllers.

UPDATE: I emailed the app developers and they never got back to me. HOWEVER I DISCOVERED ANOTHER WAY!! IF YOU DOWNLOAD THE XBOX APP, LINK YOU XBOX, AND CLICK THE XBOX CONNECT ICON AT THE TOP TWORDS THE RIGHT SIDE IT ALREADY HAS A REMOTE CONTROL BUILT INTO THE APP!!! (ps both decides must be on the same network to work!) ORIGINAL REVIEW: Everytime i connect to my xbox the app crashes, it was working well for about a year but a good while ago this app just stopped working and wont connect to my xbox anymore. everything is up to date and everything, the app just keeps crashing. i even tried connecting to a different xbox to make sure that the console wasn’t the problem and the app crashed again. what can we do to fix this? i have also uninstalled and reinstalled the app, restarted my xbox, reset all my network settings, reset my router- im not sure how we can fix this issue.
