As long as your Internet is decent, this app and device are amazing! Also, you need XBox Game pass to enjoy their games obviously, but there's also many mobile games to play! The controller DOES take a bit of getting used to but handles beautifully! There is no delay or lag between button input and response (thats saying a lot since I have a C-type transfer cable running from my Backbone controller to a tablet works great). This is a must have for gaming in comfort and on the go!

This has been my overall favorite mobile gaming controller ever. Especially with classic emulated gaming. However, the past 2 controllers ive had, have stopped connecting to my phone after about a month or 2. now it will show connected then a few seconds later unconnected. I still have my receipt for the last 1, & will exchange it for another but if this one screws up then I'm done and will look for another brand of gaming controller. It sux because this has a perfect setup of buttons disappoing

why do I need a backbone+ subscription to play xbox gamepass for cloud. xbox HAD, a GAMEPASS app for a few years, and then they removed it. I will only use the controller for either Call of Duty or an emulator like NetherSx2 ( An ps2 emulator), and that's it. I might return this thing. and look for an alternative handheld controller app instead of backbone.
