I can't even say if the app is good or not. It crashes every time I open it. If you can fix this, I'll actually be able to say how good it is, but for now, it's getting only one star.

X70%
by X####:

I would give 4 stars because I assumed the crashing issue was just a compatibility issue with my device, but I see there are many many people with many many different models who are having issues, and this app was released in July of last year. So I have to take off one more star, sorry.

Its cool as the other side of the pillow, unfortunatly as of right now the screen on 4 out of 5 games I tried was cut off for instance Mario - 1 of them was cut off at the bottom so you would fall into pits you couldnt see, the other Mario you couldnt see the whole top half. I will give 5 stars because I am sure they will address this as this is early stage. Also to the isnt this illegal review, r u kidding us, come on get real.

Pretty cool . Not just phone as controller. But having it as a remote by having the game you choose on the app list auto magically appears. On PC screen.

This is a no good app..it has cheap games nd crashes a lot.dnt waste ur time on this terrible app

K70%
by K####:

This isn't a game controller, its a cheap flas game platform that must run over WiFi. Useless on advanced networks. Why complicate things??

Dosnt connect

W70%
by W####:

Setup was incredibly easy. Had it installed and working in only a couple minutes. My only problems are lack of games and lack of custom button mapping. I used the chat with an admin feature to ask about the mapping and was greatly surprised when they responded in SECONDS. I was told that the feature will be here soon. I would have rated 4 but after the amazingly quick response from admins I believe it deserves a 5. Can't wait for more support in the future.

You seem to not mention that PC also requires internet. DroidPad works on all my smartphones and plays all of my offline commercial games including Halo. WanderPlayer doesn't play any of my over 300 commercial games!!!

this app works. you cant expect to use it for any games you've bought for you pc. its mostly online games. but its a start. maybe in time it will be more valuable.

A70%
by A####:

The app crashes all the time.. please add buttons for racing games rather than tilt control.. it is difficult to control because of lag and tilt doesn't work properly.

Doesn't work at all. Just says, "unfortunatly, wander player has stopped. Terrible app.
