I initially gave an ehh, review. Then I tried some other cheap look alikes from Amazon. Big mistake. Without a doubt the Backbone is good enough to compete with. All it lacks is some comfort, but it is high quality precision hardware that will take your game beyond the xbox. Awesome. Update. Tried Bluetooth xbox controller with a phone holder. I like the Backbone better. Steadier screen and balanced weight. 5 stars fo sho

This app needs updates to keep up to date with current games. It needs a key bind feature for games. Recently my sprint sometimes works and sometimes it won't. For 100$ there should be more features that work better. It doesn't charge while using the c port at all. It doesn't have a built in battery for longer gaming sessions. When I record videos it doesn't save it automatically to my phone I have to find it and download it. I've even recorded video and the light was on but it didn't save.

Perfect controller. I love it. There's only one small error that mine has. You need to plug your charger into the backbone first THEN plug your phone into the backbone for charge while play to happen. Otherwise it stops recognizing it is on. solo the controller won't work but the phone still gets charged. Weird glitch kinda frustrating g at first but it's no biggie anymore. Hope someone else sees this who may have the same issue finds this helpful!
