Much like the PlayStation app Sony offers, the Xbox App enables you to buy games for your console, capture and share your gameplay, check your achievements, and update followers. On top of all that, it has a lot of other features that help to track your status with games and connect to social networks. The app works on iOS devices running 9.0 or later and Android devices running 4.1 or later. There’s no need to check your game progress or message friends while pairing your devices either if you don’t want to.
