Ratings and reviews

This is mostly garbage. The controller connects and then immediately disconnected and turns off when trying to use this app. Only way to make it work is to plug the controller in to my phone via a USB c to c cable. I'm using a pixel 7 and the 8bitdo ultimate Bluetooth controller is on firmware 1.10 (latest). I see from the other reviews that this problem is nearly ubiquitous. How did this get released when it clearly had no testing at all.

The app is functional, but there are some key features which need to be fixed: 1: Trigger & Stick values don't show the value of the current setting. No matter what you have it set to it will show 0/100 for the stick, and 1/100 for the triggers. So if you're trying to set both sticks to be the same sensitivity, you're going to have to eyeball it. Basically means laying a ruler across your phone screen, since they don't even have lines on the value bars. 2: It doesn't save the profile names.

Giving it 2 stars because it functions, but I wish I could map the select button to it in Android mode, my only options are start (three lines), home, and back. I want to be able to use this controller on emulators available on the Nvidia Shield, but I can't map the emulator's quick menu button to the controller while also mapping the select button to it. I have to sacrifice 1 button in order to use the quick menu, which limits what psx games i can emulate & play with this controller.
