Xbox One Smartglass is a free app that was designed as a companion for the physical Xbox One console. With this app, you can control your Xbox One console from anywhere with a connection to the web. This gives you a nearly constant connection to your device, so you can easily share high scores and communicate with other players through the app.

When using the app at home, you can take advantage of your device's keyboard to input text, which is significantly easier than trying to type text via the standard Xbox One controller. This is especially true when you need to insert text in several different menus at the same time.

One of the best features of the Xbox One Smartglass is that it can be used as a remote control for the media components of the Xbox One. You can even use it to control web surfing from your mobile device on your TV screen.

You can also use the app to read and send messages to others who are connected to the same console. It provides constant access to game achievements and high scores, so you can always make sure your position is protected from potential usurpers.
