About Moonlight Game Streaming

This app streams games, programs, or your full desktop from an NVIDIA GameStream-compatible PC on your local network or the Internet using NVIDIA GeForce Experience. Mouse, keyboard, and controller input is sent from your Android device to the PC.

Features
• Open-source and completely free (no ads, IAPs, or "Pro")
• Up to 1080p 60 FPS streaming (4K 60 FPS with GFE Beta)
• Local co-op with up to 4 connected controllers
• H.265/HEVC streaming for better quality (with capable hardware)
• 5.1 surround sound output (with a capable device)

PC Requirements
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 600+ series GPU (GT-series and AMD GPUs aren't supported by NVIDIA GameStream)
• NVIDIA GeForce Experience (GFE) 2.2.2 or later

Quick Setup Instructions
• Make sure GeForce Experience is open on your PC. Turn on GameStream in the SHIELD settings page.
• Tap on the PC in Moonlight and type the PIN on your PC
• Start streaming!

To have a good experience, you need a mid to high-end wireless router with a good wireless connection to your Android device (5 GHz highly recommended) and a good connection from your PC to your router (Ethernet highly recommended).

Advanced Setup Instructions
See the full setup guide http://bit.ly/1skHFjN for:
• Adding a PC manually (if your PC is not detected)
• Streaming over the Internet or LTE
• Using a controller connected directly to your PC
• Streaming your full desktop
• Adding custom apps to stream

MOGA controller users
If your controller has a switch with A and B, it must be switched to B to be used for streaming. If you have no switch, use the MOGA Universal Driver app.

PlayStation 3 controller users
Use the SixAxis app in "Native Gamepad" mode for Moonlight. The default button mapping needs to be adjusted to match the standard controller layout for streaming.

I've been using this app for probably about 3 years now. This still is the best streaming app that you can get on Play Store. It has the best video and audio quality of any streaming app on the Play Store. I saw a comment below that said it won't stream outside of your home network which is completely wrong since I've been streaming games for three years all over the US on my tablet. Others I see say that it either won't connect or has horrible quality. Over the three years of using this app I've had multiple devices multiple computers and multiple routers with no issues from this app. Don't blame the developer because you're not technical enough to set the app up properly. If you're having issues with quality maybe you should look at your own hardware instead of rating this app badly. Thanks developer for making one of my absolutely favorite apps.

Was working pretty awesome up until recently. Playing Civilization VI gets me some random screen flashing if I zoom out too much or there's dialogue on screen or animations with leaders. Worked fine before.

Please update the on-screen (virtual) controller to allow resizing (more than just at the bottom and the right side of screen). Having a reasonably sized virtual control that I can position where I want is really essential to truly "gaming on the go."

Would give 5 stars if the virtual controller wouldn't feel abandoned. Right now scaling buttons works only at the bottom and right side of the screen and positions get reset every time.

All depends on your isp. If you have spectrum / time warner don't expect it to work at a playable frame rate. Their service quality is so bad you will se dropped frames and false connection information. Immediately after moving and switching to optimum online, i experienced more consistent frame rates and better connection quality. So the app works well only if your isp isn't sleazy.

Amazing. Can't even notice any latency. Only thing that would make it even better would be onscreen WASD controls as an option *EDIT* If possible; consider adding some kind of zoom function.

Keep getting a connection terminated message on my phone over Internet, even after portforwarding. Phone is a Galaxy S6 running 6.0.1. My PC has a GTX 870m in it. Edit: Gave an extra star because it works beautifully over my home network on my Gear VR!!

H70%
by H####:

Best Game streaming app on the market. I've tried several but non come close in terms of quality and performance. I'll reserve one star for now because there's no L3 and R3 buttons on the built in virtual controller. Hope it gets fixed and it's five stars from me

I want it to connect through a certain port but it appears this application doesn't support a number at the end of its IP such as xx.xxx.xx.xxx:47989

3-4 ms more latency in 5.0.2 than the previous version. Still an amazing app. Going to wait for another update before leaving 5.0.1

you can watch stream from your pc only if your device connected to the same internet/router.useless app.what it the point to control your pc at home?wanted to use this app to control my pc from work with 60fps and better quality than teamviewer

Moonlight is excellent for playing games that are supported via Nvidia streaming. Playing with my Galaxy S8+ and a Moga controller, it's good fun playing DOOM while just chilling on the couch instead of being in front of my computer. Samsung DeX was recently supported and works great for a majority of games. There still appears to be a hiccup or two (MGSV:TPP just gives a black screen while using DeX, but plays normally when undocked), but otherwise an excellent free app to play a large majority of your Steam library from your mobile device while on Wi-Fi.

But there's this horrible problem. About 20 odd seconds into streaming, my phone displays a blue screen and i have to hard reset my phone. EDIT: Only crashes when using 60FPS.
