Ratings and reviews

Works, is definitely a nice piece of software, glad it exist. I'm using out of Nvidia shield TV and while I can be a bit finicky and there are certainly minor issues such as the mouse cursor not disappearing on the screen when I use a controller. (It does when I use steam link) also streaming over a 60 MB Wi-Fi connection and the color and textures will appear off or grainy at times. Looking forward to future improvements I think it has a lot of potential if AMD continues to develop/optimize it

Worked as described over a hotspot from my phone (no wifi when I used it). Was about to stream games from Steam and play my music from my PC. Haven't been able to use it lately most likely due to my connection but that has nothing to do with the program itself. It works well though I still struggle to find a use for it (I guess using for my music justifies it enough but I'd never play games with it).

Amazing except the on screen controller. The sticks are hard to work with, and even at the lowest sensitivity setting in my game, it was still too fast. You could use the track pad mode, but you cannot use it at the same time as the on-screen buttons. And then the buttons themselves are not enough. A lot of PC games require more than the controller's buttons. What would be nice are custom input buttons, And the option to use part of the screen as a track pad. Everything else is perfect.
