Microsoft recently released a pair of updates for SmartGlass/Xbox One and wouldn't you know they got this one right. The companion app is so functional I can get rid of three remote controls in my house (outstanding!) The activity feed in the app is a great addition, as well as broadcast notifications (for the viewer and broadcaster.) More extensive account management as well as the ability to arbitrarily re-arrange your pins are nifty additions. The biggest addition outside of the universal remote has to be OneGuide operating seamlessly through SmartGlass (what?!) I can now easily browse my TV listings while playing a game, watching a movie on another app, or any number of growing potential activities on the Xbox One. I would have given the app 3.5 maybe 4 stars prior to this update, now it is definitely a five-star application. I can be contacted on Twitter: @FSCrouton with any questions or comments regarding this review.

Had the previous version on my Surface, could stream with ease, a few days ago, downloaded this and the layout is worse, and theres no streaming option. I was JUST streaming a few days ago with the other version.... what gives?
