Introducing iXboxLive - Available in the Apple AppStore

Xbox Live is great - there's no questioning that, but sometimes you just really want to check your Buddy List without having to turn on the Xbox, or fire up Xbox.com in a browser.

iXboxLive is your Xbox Buddy List(*) on your iPhone or iPod Touch!

  • See your select buddy list

  • See what they are currently playing

  • See their gamer pic

  • See their gamer score, gamer reputation, and location

  • See their list of recent games, including scores and last played dates

  • More features to come!


* This application uses the Microsoft Xbox Community Developer SDK, which is private and only available to a limited number of developers.  Due to limitations of this SDK, you will have to specify which gamertags to view on your local buddy list, and you will not be able to use all of the features you would expect from Xbox.com (like messaging friends)
** It is highly discouraged to add more then a dozen or so gamertags to your local buddy list.  The initial loading time of the application will increase significantly for each gamertag you add - so be cautious!

Just bought this but having a few problems.

1, friends showing online when they are offline
2, crashing to ipod home page on one gamertag (if needed for testing email me) says he is online idle but he's been offline for 5 hours.

Apart from those couple of problems this is a great little app, would be great to be able to send messages too ;)

Nicholas,

I wanted to leave you a message in regards to the iXboxLive application previously available in the iTunes Store. I purchased this application some time ago and noticed that it no longer works on my iPhone. I'm sure this is due to Apple's constant demand for application support updates. I suppose what I am asking is whether or not you intend to update this application for current iPhone and iPod Touch support. I hope that you will consider updating this application as it is the only kind of it's type that I have found. I enjoy the clean interface and hope my words of encouragement help you update this application. Thanks for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Best Regards,


Erik Ludwig
