This is a great supplement to a real controller for the time being. The only downside is with the headset on, you can't see what button you are pushing and have no feel due to the flat touch screen. Solution - put small pieces of scotch tape over the buttons so you can feel where they are. Since mine is on a defunct phone, no problem to leave it on. Another trick is to download the "smart switch" app to transfer the downloaded app to the other device wirelessly to get it on both. Instructions are easy.

This app works really well for some things. Im hoping you guys get support for everything later on down the line. Is it possible for support for the Oculas Arcade. I really wanna play classic arcade games but this app isnt compatible. But overall just played Dreadhalls with it works great

Came across this app while browsing through controller only games and sulking lol, it does the job really well but I can't seem to make my gear vr recognise it on oculus stuff, still awesome for cardboard apps tho 5* in that department and if I could get it to work for oculus games I would give the full 5* rating overall. EDIT: Looking again it seems the only thing at the moment that doesn't work is the arcade (first thing I tried lol) which is a shame and hopefully you can get it working in the future. 5*

I bought this to play Minecraft VR with the Gear VR I received for Xmas. It worked immediately once I read the instructions. I had to play with the key bindings in game to get it comfortable for me. That was very easy and this is worth the purchase!

I set it all up to play Minecraft VR. my s7 is the vr and my Samsung note 10.1 is my controller I even used the specific Minecraft keyboard. I followed the instructions. When I got into the game I could only place blocks and destroy blocks. I couldn't move, even after viewing the key map and disconnecting and reconnecting my 2 devices.

I wanted to play minecraft without having to shell out $50 for a sure fire controller and found this app. Was skeptical, but it works so well! The track pad is a little hard to use, but by mapping the forward and back keys to a and x, and using my head to turn, it works so well!! Controller is on my old note edge, and using a note 5 for the vr experience. Way to go guys!!!

It would be nice if the app could support having a physical wired controller connected to it. Please make it so that we can map buttons from a physical controller to the app (i have a ps3 controller)

I was looking around all week, and I couldn't find a Bluetooth controller for under 40 bucks that was good. This application works exactly as it should, keep up the good work development team. Let me know if you have dual analog sticks in this program. It would be great if you could emulate an Xbox 360 controller. Other than that great app!!!
