Ratings and reviews

Great app. I use it while work is dead and I gotta kill time but they really need to add an option to close a game when the stream is unresponsive. It will be working fine then the game will have a hiccup and crash the app and if I reopen the app and try to reconnect it'll just say couldn't connect to network relay and it leaves my pc running a video game til I get home only to find out it's all running fine and the only issue being the app couldn't connect to the game.

This thing is so good that it can work via Internet, not only in LAN. I used it like this for a while (Public Wi-Fi 5Ghz + DualShock 4 via BT), and as long as that Wi-Fi was stable I get pretty great image. Streaming at 5 Mbit/s, no HEVC, with Desktop. On my home router I needed to forward all Steam ports to my PC. Edit: Version 1.1.82 shows black screen when you switch away from the app while connected, and then switch back to it. Reverted to previous version, unusable

The app is very clean and when connected locally, I get really good connection results even over wifi. It's not perfect by any means, but I can play games like fishing planet with no real issue. However, trying to switch games is an impossibly annoying feat. I tried testing American truck simulator, and it didn't work too well. Now every time I go into the app, it tries to force me to play ATS without any option to switch games in the app. I'm just stuck playing ATS.
