Ratings and reviews

It's really bad for me, few minutes into purchasing and I already am regretting my life choices. I've tried my possible best. Restarted (Windows) PC, restarted Phone, unpaired and re-paired Bluetooth devices. It just doesn't work - at least for me. I got a refund. Is this something that can be fixed? I see that the app was updated recently but I didn't realise I'd run into issues on the first try. Dev, please help. The issue is: PC says phone is connected buy app says PC is disconnected.

Let's you control you games without extra BS. It turns your phone into a Bluetooth controller. I was apprehensive about paying for the app, but I've been using their Keyboard and Mouse app for a few years and figured I'd take the chance. I wouldn't recommend it for serious gaming because it's still a virtual/touchscreen gamepad, but for slow or turn based games, or to temporarily mess with things if your hardware controller is out of commission for any reason, it's pretty cool. Works on Linux.

Very pleased that this does work, as it's the only serverless option I could find (works great in a pinch for Batocera game nights!) Given that the devs have the only serverless solution on the store, I'm dying to see functionality get more built out; Android emulators like Dolphin and PPSPP offer full touch controller customization, and I can't think of any good reason this app can't have that too. At a minimum, right stick support and simultaneous D-Pad/left stick should be considered.
