As I said this is a great app for gamers who hate on-screen controls. I'm using this with my nvidia shield tablet and I am playing Galaxy on fire2 with my ipega controller! There are some issues with the app however, first there are not many tutorials out there and it isn't an easy app to master! Second, you really need a rooted device to truly get the most out of this app.

Such a shame to see a once great app rendered compleatly usless just because the OS was updated. I keep getting GameKeyboard+ service failed errors on rooted marshmallow LG-815 G4 apps is unusable.... Useing a moga hero connected in B mode. Please update for 6.0 Marshmallow and I will give 5stars again.

i had done the setup, but in game it keep show 'connecting service' and then 'service failed'. may i know is it not compatible with samsung galaxy s6 edge and Razer Serval BT controller? had tried both wire and wireless.

by Q####:

Is it possible for the app to recognize Dpad vs. Analog stick movements? Seems to limit remapping on controllers. I'd like my dpad to operate as 4 additional buttons. Edit: Dev responded quickly to inquiry and offered to assist further through email. Root required to distinguish analog vs. Dpad movements. +1 star

I was initially concerned about spending money on a controller app, but it was worth it. This app is extremely customizable, and supports macros. It's pretty much everything you could ask for in an on screen gamepad.

5 stars cuz this app resolved my 3 year long issue with getting SORR aka Streets of Rage Remake working with EXA Gear Strategies and my gamepad controller the 8BitDo NES Pro 30

by Q####:

Could not figure out how to emulate mouse buttons or mouse movement. Other than that it works great... but that's important for quite a few games. Would definitely be 5 stars if mouse emulation was possible.

I own this app long time ago. Yet developer decide to pull the first version, which I also paid for and re-release it under slightly different name. Very shady business.

by D####:

The analog sticks is big and unneeded for what i want to play. If the option still worked. I would give this 4 to 5 stars. But the fact that i can't get rid of something i dont need while it covers up my keyboard is frustrating. I'll consider rebuying this app when it is fully customizable

D70%
by D####:

Works the way it should I guess, but having to rebuy this app is enough to knock off 2 (maybe 3) stars.

X70%
by X####:

Works perfectly with the Xperia Play, making games play the way they are supposed to. Doesn't seem to want to work properly with the Samsung Gamepad or MOGA Hero Power, but I'm thinking that's because I'm using them with a Galaxy S5 running stock ROM. 5 stars because of how it works with Xperia Play!!!

I had to tinker with it a little to get it to recognize the mushroom hat joystick things on my Shield Tablet (5.1.1), but I got it working! 5 Stars for the app, 2 stars for the documentation.
