Ratings and reviews

I don't understand why so many people are having issues connecting to this. All you need to do is enable all permissions fully, make sure the controller is connected to the phone via Bluetooth, and make sure location is turned on. App recognized my Ultimate Bluetooth controller almost immediately. I'm fairly confident part of the people aren't turning location on, giving FULL location permission, or are using wrong app for their controller. -1 star for needing location tho. That's weird man.

Needs instructions. I don't give location permissions to just any app that asks for it, but apparently they're required for basic functionality. The app should tell you this instead of appearing to do nothing. Once I found that out it was easy to connect to my controller. I was very disappointed to see that I couldn't program button combinations, for example R+A, to have holding R change what A does.

The app doesn't work for me despite my controller being connected to my phone. The back buttons on my Ultimate Bluetooth Controller are effectively useless until I get a Windows laptop which I currently do not own. I only have a laptop with Linux on it which from what I've read in other reviews, isn't supported either. I guess it's a good thing I'm only using the controller for the Switch at the moment, but having full functionality to play around with would be nice.
