Ratings and reviews

really cool app that I would love to use more often. The 2 biggest issues I have with it currently are: 1. Quality of the stream isn't always where it needs to be for an enjoyable game session. this is despite me using the official Steam Deck to stream from, having very fast Internet, and a very new computer to stream the content on (I bought the Android device last year). 2. Why is this a separate app rather than a feature in the main Steam app?

Works really well, make sure to run any game for the first time on your pc, processes like initial shader compilation might cause crashes. Otherwise, its surreal to play pc games on a phone with a ps4 controller. Obv not all games are suited for a phone screen, but enough are that this app will give you a chance to whittle down that pile of shame. Won't stop me using my steam deck, but this app also provides the opportunity to play games remotely at max settings at a decent fps. Good job Valve.

layout editing doesn't work, the layouts that are currently set are missing half of what you need to even play anything. waste of storage.
