Ratings and reviews

Was working very well until the most recent update. Now, it will not let me sign into my Xbox game pass. Tried uninstalling, reinstalling, restarting phone, clearing cache, no luck. Will show the logged in screen through "settings"->"content"->"Xbox cloud gaming", but when I go to choose a game, it says I need to log into the profile, press the radio button to sign in, screen flashes white, then back to backbone home screen. Hope this gets fixed soon... am I the only one having issues?

Backbone is one of the best purchases I've ever made! Going on 3 yrs now and I take it everywhere. Just found out today that, on top of using it through USBc on a laptop or plugged directlyit into the phone, you can also use USBc with a phone. So perfect! I mainly use the app for calibration with, as I use the controller mainly in steam. But I have used it with Gamepass. It's a solid medium for other mobile gaming options. Plus, looking forward to trying the new emulator feature 👀

Backbone software is useless, despite great hardware. Literally impossible to find/launch games installed on device, games that in fact do work with a backbone controller. This is not a launcher, this is an advertisement of games corporations want you to play. Backbone lists 'compatible' Google Play games which have been delisted for years or are incompatible with any device manufactured recently. Backbone will not take a report from me to improve their service unless I pay them.
