Ratings and reviews

The current and highly updated version (2.1.0) of this app is a bliss! I have also been using the app before and pleased with it's functionality but the latest one provides features I didn't even know I missed. Navigating the Shield is faster than ever. Edit: After writing I checked other comments and noticed some ppl seem to have trouble with a laggy connection. I have three WiFis spread around the house for coverage. Remote ones show the same behavior. Good signal=no prob! Thanks Nvidia!

Great idea to have this app, as it can be really useful. As many have said, it has a lot of potential but a lot of work needed to get there. Size of the buttons definitely needs to be smaller or have the ability to adjust size/placement, as navigating via the app buttons is a lot slower than any other remote/controller and gets frustrating enough to close the app and pick up an actual remote. Also, ability to adjust volume is an absolute must, as it's the only control not ported over and prevents it from being a decent enough replacement for its counterparts.

This app would be great if it actually worked how it's supposed to. The new upgrade started off well (first day) then I don't know what happened. For instance, the Bluetooth connectivity isn't stable and doesn't give an option to choose how you want to connect. WiFi connection (on the app) is up and down and unreliable. For a tech company such as this, stuff like this shouldn't happen. Also, a mic support via the app would be nice.
