Ratings and reviews

I use this with Riftcat and my iPhone and it works great, and works very well as a wand! I do however have an issue with it; This controller's button setup is not intuitive. There should be options to customize the button layout yourself; On larger phones, it's nearly impossible to grasp the phone and reach the buttons, and I experience constant misclicks. Also, when holding the center button, it registers as a "tap" and in some games causes my character to jump when I'd like them to turn.

Does what it is supposed to do, but.. There are some improvements to be made. 1. It would be more intuitive to be able to make the controller right-side up while holding the phone either screen up, or screen toward the palm. I cant reach all the UI with my thumb. 2. Ability to move all the buttons would help, maybe if they were arranged like a wedge. I love what you guys are doing though!

I can't seem to find a vridge connection no matter what I do.. 😤😥😭 -Edit- I figured out my problem. The app works.. I had to manually connect with an IP address.. However I don't have the right device for this app unfortunately.. I have a tablet that works with but, it's too big to hold in my small hands. Then there's the phone that I use for the headset. I might have to see if I can get a couple of cheap phones that have the sensors on them.
