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.

Doesn't work on Wi-Fi; Work on BT mode, but LT and RT Button doesn't. XYAB Buttons labelled wrong (e.g. press X is actually B)

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

Very bad software on pc. It messes with my PC. Bluetooth Keyboard stopped working because of this app, and it installs interceptors that read your input. When you uninstall the companion app on pc, then it leaves those interceptors so your pc remains broken. Caused me a ton of headaches

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.

I upgraded to a premium version. My teacher was to support the developers, and I have this message would reach out for them because it's not working even the premium version it's kind of glitchy especially for those who want to use it offline using USB cable I don't know why this future is available, but it's not working it's very disappointing, so I hope you developers will solve this issue, but I'm going to give you zero star ⭐
