Nyko PlayPad Firmware Updater

C'mon! How is possible to release app that doesn't work. This gamepad is the worst purchase I have done related to android games.

Iv had my playpad a while now and I'm definitely going to get the pro now :) b4 I couldn't look left and right from car windows and the analogue aiming was dodgy but now it's seems everything is fixed and it works perfectly now. Thank You nyko for this awesome update and please continue to support these awesome controllers.

I've tried updating my Nyko Playpad Pro for years and finally this app works.

Cannot get controller to pair in HID mode at all, cannot update firmware as a result. Samsung note 10.1 Android 4.1.2

Crap. This has never worked. That is all.

Please update to Android Material Design!

It doesn't work I'm connected in my network but its says I'm not connected,as I'm saying don't ever ever download this app or else you will be like us this is a garbage don't want it don't want it I really really don't like it........

Terrible product

Hey, tried to use this... But it just won't work. I have tried with numerous phones and tablets and so far it never even noticed my controllers existence. Sorry but that app is just a half-assed gimmick so you can write home about it on the website. Useless app... Save yourself the trouble, and do it on your PC/Mac instead, there is a working tool for that.

How can you rate something that doesn't work. You rate it appropriately by giving it one star the device syncs with my phone shows active in my bluetooth list. That's it though app shows it is disconnected can't do anything with it garbage. And forget about finding any documentation on it on nykos website.

I take back my previous review as i retried the whole process and it actually worked for me this time. Thank god, these apps don't always work im actually surprised that it did

I have recently purchased a nyko playpad i dowloaded the nyko playground app and followed all sta

Says controller is not connected when it is.

Bought this controller and my firmware is 4.4! Hope it works or down goes the stars

Im switching to moga

WOW I am glad this was free and given as a gift cause it dont work for nothing. My phone sees it as a bluetooth device, but thats it. The updater doesnt find it nor does the playground app. Tossing this thing in the trash.

Could only connect my controller once, and then only in app mode... Once complete, I had to restart my tablet. Now it works very well, but this app needs a far better interface. *The controller is fantastic *

Please i can't connect my controler with this.app..

Downloaded this usless app in an effort to up date the firmware on my playpad pro. This app does nothing. Hope someone reads this and cares enough that they will fix the issues. Othewise no need to download....sorry? So am i.....

The controller is Useless without the app, the app is useless at letting you custom map, the updater is useless at syncing with device, and allowing you to custom map from inside the game is useless. Mostly because the default buttons are on keys like "back", "R-click", and the analog controlled volume or "home" button. ps....returning the controller tommorrow

Im really ticked off i cant use this man sigh you guys let me down

Wont recognize controller is connected when the playpad app does; will not connect to the controller; will not update.....useless....will never buy another nyko product....time to toss this junk and buy a moga!

Doesn't connect to my black playpad

I don't know why everyone else is having issues, but the firmware updater worked without a hitch for me. If I have one objection, it's that the updater doesn't show what version of firmware it has compared to what you already have. So it shows me I have 101 and I can update, but doesn't tell me what version it's going to update to, and as far as I know, I already have the most current firmware.

App says controller isn't connected. Very poor

I just got this nyko gaming controller and it says it's not connected

I bought a Playpad Pro because Nvidia recommended it for console mode with the Shield. My Shield is totally up-to-date, so I'm using the recommended app to update the firmware of the recommended controller on the recommended device, and it still doesn't work. The controller connects, and I can use it to move the cursor and what-not, but the firmware update app always says that it can't connect to the controller.

Need to update on a 4.1 device before using this updater, don't got one. Thank god Nyko has a USB updater...that you need to email them to get. At least the controller works great now but this app is pointless. Controller gets 4/5, updater gets 1/5.

Don't waste time with this app it just doesn't work. Update controller via PC using Nyco official software. Here is the Dropbox link they sent me which seems to have resolved all issues. Follow their instructions on pdf document. Https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nrbp4fefwwu2g6l/IYv8irXZaU customersupport@nyko.com. Controller now works really well but xpendable Rearmed on shield only works if you map keys which is silly as this game was built for shield and normal shield controls work.

Another great app by nyko( not). I'd love to meet the incompetent people who work at building these useless apps, do they actually get paid

...I can't make triggers work anymore with the latest firmware. Any chance to see an updated firmware anytime soon?

Doesn't work with my nVidia SHIELD on 4.3. It sees my controller but doesn't update. Support is supposedly "open until 6pm Pacific", but I just voicemails when I called anytime between 5pm to 6pm pacific.

Just hit the resync button while it's connected then update

Note to Nyko developers: Don't forget to test on target machine before making the claim that it was designd for it. Running 4.3 on SHIELD, app refuses to pair and then crashes. +1 for being able to navigate app with PlayPad despite the apps ability to notice it.

I am really disappointed barely works and keep connecting reconnecting to my phone android blu studio 5.5 please fix your app please

Another joke of a Chinese company ripping people off. Don't bother with these Nyko Playpads as they simply DON'T WORK. Sick of being ripped off. This app tells you your pad isn't connected even tho Bluetooth says it is. RUBBISH RUBBISH RUBBISH.

Now forget about buying anything from them ever again!
