I was forgiving of the Xbox app when it launched, but it has since shed the (beta) tag long ago. Seriously, what exactly is the intent here? You'd think that fewer features would lead to a more streamlined, speedier app. There's no way to see patch notes easily. There's no way to see developer updates at a glance. There are no mod libraries, no discussion boards, no community features beyond the incredibly useless "your friends play this" list. I can't do anything to configure the style or layout of the app. I can't hide or sort games in my library. The ability to right-click on a game on your library to access more settings is something Microsoft's Windows platform has been training me to do for years. The Xbox app is also missing tons of features that competing platforms offer.
The fact the Xbox app can't offer this, while Steam, and even the Epic Games Store, can, is a big problem. If I click on something, the action should be instantaneous, in all scenarios. Right-clicking menus and general navigation is held up by the loading of assets from the web, which is just poor design. Sending messages on Xbox Live through the Xbox app is a painfully slow experience. You'd think that fewer features would lead to a more streamlined, speedier app. Expecting users to accept the painfully slow, well, everything given that competition exists just a click or two away isn't smart business.
