About this app

BT Controller turns your Android device into a controller for any emulator that supports custom buttons.

• Play console games anywhere
• Control emulators on your TV, Tablet, or Phone
• Supports up to 4 players
• Use Bluetooth or Wifi to connect your devices

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 and I can not get this to connect to my Nexus 7 (2013) via Bluetooth. I can via wifi, but I want to use this on the train/plane where wifi isn't available. I can connect in other apps via Bluetooth like ES File Explorer and transfer files. I can also connect to controllers/speakers and I can even pair the two devices to share internet. But this app doesn't work. UPDATE: my s7 died, so i cant troubleshoot this anymore. It works fine with ny note 9.

Hi, I was able to test this on the same devices but didn't have any issues with Bluetooth. Does the host appear in the bt device list in the app?

I used this for making art, And it works fairly well. Wish I could figure out how to line things up and make a graphical change but making a background isnt difficult. I use this app on my phone and have it linked to my Android tablet running Krita. This App allows me to use hotkeys without having to own a BT keyboard or plugging in my USB one. Really nice stuff, wish I could figure out the macro/ wish it had a vertical orientation.

I use this primarily to play some snk games but there's one problem. You see, when I try to connect to button together for example when I tried to click A+B, the buttons will become unresponsive after I execute the command. Sure, all I need to do is restart it again for the buttons to work again however, I do wish I don't have to do that repetitively so I can focus on the game rather than the controller itself. Maybe try to add new function where I can add two key in a single button?
