Ratings and reviews

Was working very well until the most recent update. Now, it will not let me sign into my Xbox game pass. Tried uninstalling, reinstalling, restarting phone, clearing cache, no luck. Will show the logged in screen through "settings"->"content"->"Xbox cloud gaming", but when I go to choose a game, it says I need to log into the profile, press the radio button to sign in, screen flashes white, then back to backbone home screen. Hope this gets fixed soon... am I the only one having issues?

Backbone is one of the best purchases I've ever made! Going on 3 yrs now and I take it everywhere. Just found out today that, on top of using it through USBc on a laptop or plugged directlyit into the phone, you can also use USBc with a phone. So perfect! I mainly use the app for calibration with, as I use the controller mainly in steam. But I have used it with Gamepass. It's a solid medium for other mobile gaming options. Plus, looking forward to trying the new emulator feature 👀

While the app works fine and the controller works great, the problem I have is that the premium version is a subscription and not a one time purchase and setting controls for games without controller support is locked behind said subscription. I get needing incentive for people to get the premium version, but locking being able to play all of your games with a controller behind a paywall is just plain greedy. The same goes for connecting the controller to PC by the way, locked behind a paywall.
