Mantis game pad pro is simply the Best button mapping app

I have checked out other key mapping apps and this one had most of what I wanted. Multiple phase support for each game independently. It lists all my apps in alphabetical order where another key mapping software didn't. Little things like that and the no ban feature is what made me decide to try this app. Im very pleased with the ease of use and multiple phase options for each of my games independently. I intend to use all of my devices to install this to including my tablets.

Really helpful app but when while playing with controller it fells like frames are dropping when playing with it, I don't know it really lags or not, but it feels like I am playing in less frames

The key mapper is good but why do I have to pay to add more than one game? Is it that expensive to make it 2 or 3 games? And the thing with "join pur discord" is so annoying. It took me out of the game MID MATCH to tell me about your discord. Good mapping ruined by bad app

Doesn't work followed step-by-step directions for adb says its connected but Mantis buddy refuses to launch. Also, can't get a refund either.

Absolutely sucks im not about to buy a premium so I can play a game with a controller like I get that everybody's got to make a living somehow but like golly for what it's providing it sure is not worth it.
