Metal Ghost Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I just downloaded it yesterday and really like it. One oddity though .... I can't get any of the videos' sound to play out of my iPhone's speakers, only through headphones. Is that normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Ghost Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 Yea, I figured his one out: I didn't have it on mute, but I did have the ringer turned off via the physical switch on the side. So even though I was adjusting the volume up, it wasn't working . But yea, in any case I'm digging the app. I'm thinking that I'd be liking the companion app on WP7 a lot better , but I'll take what I can get!

+Zeptari Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I use it often. Sometimes just to check to see if my halo reach friends are online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Jesus Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I use it as well. It's cool to be able to quickly grab the iPad and bang out an message to a friend using the app, instead of trying to use the Xbox controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Ghost Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Check out the Halo Waypoint app as well. I like both of them....though the My Xbox Live app is more useful from an 'all round' feture standpoint, I kind of switch back and forth between them.

+FujiSkunk Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 A app for a Microsoft console running on an Apple phone. There's an irony here somewhere... "If you can't beat 'em..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Ghost Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Well, I believe MS Office has been released for Apple computers for years....so not too much of a stretch here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Well, I believe MS Office has been released for Apple computers for years....so not too much of a stretch here. Yes, and Internet Explorer has been released for the Macintosh before as well. This seems particularly ironic, however, given how Microsoft's attitude has usually been that they're throwing bones to the Apple crowd, and now they're the ones begging for the bones, since they can't get their own smart phone OS off the ground.

NE146 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Playing with it now on the ipad.. seems ok. It's pretty much just like logging onto www.xbox.com on any browser though. Although to be fair it does seem a little more convenient/faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although to be fair it does seem a little more convenient/faster. yea, I think that's the main advantage: simply being able to hit the app button, it's maybe a bit faster, nice interface, etc. Not so much that it's something you couldn't previously get inside of a browser. I like the Microsoft apps on iPhone. I still want to get me a Lumia 900 if i can swing it at some point, but right now I'm enjoying my iPhone.

I like the Microsoft apps on iPhone. I still want to get me a Lumia 900 if i can swing it at some point, but right now I'm enjoying my iPhone. The Lumia 900 is mighty sexy... But it's AT&T only and I need a Verizon phone. Until Microsoft swings some sweet deal for Verizon, Windows Phone will not be pushed by them. Now, Nokia has the technical ability to push out new phones fast so I suspect they'll release a Verizon version which may be enough for me to jump into the world of smartphones. It's not the cost of the phone that's holding me back (because you can get them for free with contract), but it's the sticker shock of $30/month for a data plan. I really have no need for data on the move. I don't even check my email on my feature phone because when I'm away, I want to relax. If they're sending me something via email, they have to assume that I won't respond right away. And with the bandwidth and data caps (which should be far more generous for such an expensive price) the way they are, you really are getting a luxury item with smartphones.
