The app is absolutely beautiful, I would recommend it to everyone who likes to play immersive racing games but doesn't want to pay a lot of money. There is even throttle support for buttons now. The only feature this app lacks is 360° steering, if this feature gets added in the future, I wouldn't buy a controller even if I had money to spare to it.

Great controller app! I have a feature request for dense, overlapping button layouts. Currently, Android's default touch handling only consumes the event for the top-most button. Could you add a custom touch delegation feature? Tapping the intersection of overlapping views should dispatch the touch event to all intersecting buttons at once. This multi-button activation is crucial for compact setups. Keep up the good work!

Please add a Custom Key Mapping feature. It would be very helpful if users could assign keyboard keys (A–Z, numbers, Space, Ctrl, Shift, etc.) to on-screen buttons and game actions. This would improve compatibility with Android emulators and external keyboards/controllers, allowing users to customize the controls to their preference and making the app much easier to use. Thank you for considering this feature.

At first, I was happy with the app, but I realized having a real controller is much better unless you remove the payment price. Having a controller does not need ads and minutes to play It's just unlimited

I guess you already know the reason for one star. But in case somebody who hasn't downloaded yet wonders: This is a functional app locked behind ads and premium. You are forced to interrupt your session every 30 minutes to watch an ad, or be so generous to buy a premium version.

Not working didn't detect my device to connect. It's an android tv, but it is not showing.
