In an effort to brings its various platforms closer, Microsoft has released the Xbox One SmartGlass Beta app for Windows Phone. The app will allow users to control their Xbox One using their Windows Phone. In terms of features, the app offers:
- OneGuide support built into SmartGlass
- View what’s on TV without interrupting what you’re doing on your Xbox One
- Change TV channels on your Xbox One through OneGuide on SmartGlass
- Find and favorite TV Channels
- TV Universal Remote Control to control your Cable Box and TV
Although, Microsoft has openly admitted some known issues with the app, including issues with the OneGuide and unlocalized strings in international countries, some buttons in Cable/TV remote not working and some strings being out of date or missing. But then, the app is still in beta.
You can find the app on Windows Phone Store here, or can simply scan the QR below.
