Nyko Playground

Hate hate hate it

I used to use my nyko playpad all the time, then i tried updating the firmware, the update seemed to freeze so i exited out of it, then i kept trying to turn the playpad back on and it didn't work, i need help please, i even tried charging it and re-establishing the Bluetooth connection, and every now and then the lights start flashing when i charge it, i don't know what to do, please help, nothing online has helped, i have the small black edition.

I mean it is NYKO, so one should expect it won't work as expected.

it does not recognize the controller. i am on 4.4.4.

the program wont let me sync my controller the play pad. while im using the play pad in the menus. it says it isnt paired.

I am unable to update my playpad's firmware, and unable to use custom mapped profiles. I can create new profiles for my playpad pro, but cannot launch them as I am perpetually stuck in edit mode. Not thrilled as this severely limits the use I am able to have with my Nyko device.

For some reason the L2 button is not working on my Playpad pro. I use the controller to play Modern Combat 5 and the L2 button is to "Scope Aim". Anybody that plays this game knows how useful the "scope aim" is. Then I ran across this app thinking I can change L2 to a different button that does work. After doing that, I'm still disappointed that I can't use the changes that I did to my controller profile.

You're supposed to be able to change how each button acts. Being unable to determine the firmware version installed makes that impossible. I've tried 5 times already to update it just to reprogram the buttons to work properly, and it keeps saying that the firmware version couldn't be determined. This app is complete bull.

Wish I could set up a profile even though the app may think its compatible,literally every app it said this so what's the point? Please add some freedom for the users to figure out what's up with the app your trying to use it with. So basically let us make a profile for what I want and not be interfered with the idiotic app that's thinks some apps are his compatible just wish I could set up what I want

I am having the same issues as many others with this app. Not being able to update the firmware to enable button mapping. Utterly infuriating. Nykos website offers no support for either hardware or app.

The app functions (and by proxy the controller) better than it did when it initially released. The main concern however is the lack of dedicated control overlay. For a feature that was promised on the packaging it's blatant disregard for customer satisfaction to never provide it. And while the explanation of the 4.1 os was given, there is no reason for there to have never been a revision to the product OR any compensation given to consumers who were never delivered the feature advertised.

The control itself works, but the app is pretty much useless. What good does keyboard and mouse emulation do on a touchscreen phone? I mean, really? This app doesn't even deserve the one star I gave it. If anything, it deserves negative stars. Of course, this app has many other similar alternative versions of it self, and it's not alone with being put in the trash. This app needs touch screen mapping for each button, including the analogs, that you can assign for each game or other apps WITHOUT ROOT.

you guys need to implement touch mapping and then 5 stars

Like come on I paid for this controller yet still there's no app update or firmware update to fix the on going bugs everyone's facing...

awesome

My controller doesn't turn on or have an indication light when plugged in please help

I got this app awhile ago, back when I had an S3. It worked for awhile, and for playing ROMS, it was fun. Then it mysteriously STOPPED working, and I could never get it functioning properly again. It was probably a combination of things. I was using a flashed and rooted device, and I think that flash caused issues throughout my phone. At any rate, a previous user wrote a review on how to use it, so I tried it with my new Note 4 and it totally works. Ya gotta sync the controller with your phone's bluetooth first, then turn the controller off. Then load up the NYKO Playground app, and THEN turn the controller back on. You do that, and you shouldn't have any more issues with it. This controller and the app combined with being able to broadcast the screen of my phone to my Samsung HD television = amazing, full screen retro gaming at its FINEST.

So i paired my controler to my phone and it says connected then i open a game to play and they tell me that there is controler connected so i go to bluetooth settings and it seems out the controler is actually connected please fix this

This app is required if you want full compatibility with games such as GTA San Andreas (D Pad and Select button doesn't work). Controller is great, however the app itself feels cheap, and it's too unintuitive. A lot of fiddling around with settings, re-pairing and switching from APP mode to HID mode. Running Lollipop

The controler mapping does not work

I love it! But touch is not here yet :(

I hope you guys go out of business and save other innocent kids from wasting their money. You still advertise features this controller simply will not do - and then admit you don't know if you can fix it.

Come on! Keep up with the updates to makes this better:)

The controller doesn't even work out of the package company dead doesn't even charge

Works with soulcalibur and bards tale, only criticism is in the hardware itself. The analog is uncomfortable and the crosspad isnt very precise

Because when trying to sync it doesn't show up

I'll give it three stars because I like the pad but I totally don't like the software to run it.

LAEST FIRMWARE BOKE MY F**?#% CONTROLLER

I am having the same issues as many others with this app. Not being able to update the firmware to enable button mapping. Utterly infuriating. Nykos website offers no support for either hardware or app.

People just don't know how to use it... great.. please update the games it works on other then that freaking sweet

Good controller but I never use the app. For multiple reasons.

I have the playpad white mini and i cant sync it with my Lg optimus l90, please help me.

I used the firmware update and now my playpad pro won't even turn on! Please help me.

First you pair the Nyko playPad through the Bluetooth in your settings . Now turn off the Nyko playPad it should still show up on the list of paired devices. Now open the Nyko playground app click on sync controller it should say controller paired NOW, turn on your nyko play pad and the sync controller button you just pressed should change to controller synced. And bam! Remember it has to be in HID mode. Once it is synced you can even switch the controller to mouse pad mode and even use it as a mouse.

I have bought multiple Nyko controllers and all work great and for their price they are complete steal. I read the comments of the so called gamers and surprised they haven't figured out the problem is the software not hardware, stop blaming the controls and someone please fix this app and the software. Love the play pad and pro , they feel great depending what game I'm playing, I used little one for more casual games and pro for more demanding game. To bad the app doesn't live up to greatness of the hardwa
