The UI is well put together and smooth for the most part. The app's home screen shows users gamer pics, gamerscore, live status, what they are currently doing, and a currently played game's game icons. This app really stands out because clicking on a friend with show you their Gamercard, Profile, and Games. Gamercard; shows you the gamer's gamertag, avatar, gamerscore, gamer pic, Latest 6 played games, and their live status. Profile; shows you the gamer's gamertag, status, reputation, info, gamerscore, name, location, motto, and bio. Games; shows the list of games played along with game icons, score for each game (earned and total), achievements (earned and total), and last time played. Click on a game brings up the achievement list for the game (earned and total) along with the achievement's icon and achievement's gamerscore.

Pros: UI is well put together and smooth at times. Loading doesn't take very long. I haven't force closed yet. Able to send, read, and receive Xbox live messages. This is shining feature for us as other apps will say you can do messages when you can't. The catalog is a pretty neat feature for looking up games you might want to check out.

Cons: App is US $1.99 and App is around 2.15mb, that maybe too much for some users. UI loads slow at times. Account Settings menu doesn't work so it served no purpose other than you let you sign back in. Why have it?....or are we missing something? Also, refreshing the friends and messages lists take a while. Sometimes you have to exit out and reload the app.

Decision: All in all...for what it does the app is definitely worth a try. It’s about 2.15mb and about US $2.00 but you get a great Xbox live app plus one that actually let's you send and receive messages, even if I have to refresh the app. Home screen could look a little nicer with some organization. App was definitely ported from iPhone.
