    Travel for work and an absolute must

    Traveling for work and bought this to help kill time in the airport and hotels. Has been amazing!! The pass thru charging keeps my device fully charged. Even though I have an older phone that does get a little warm after playing a while. I’ve played for 5 hours straight without it crashing though. The compact design makes it where it fits in my crossbody bag and always easily accessible. Runs off my battery of my phone when not plugged in and means no battery swapping and always available. Would definitely recommend. They do have a subscription that allows you to tap directly into your PlayStation; Xbox; or steam account. I’ve just been using it for my Apple Games. I think if you travel, have kids or just enjoy mobile gaming this thing is a must have.

    Kick butt way to play my PlayStation games away

    This is awesome it relies on the PlayStation app to play PlayStation five games remotely, but it works great. Don’t know how well this works. If you’re playing something competitive online there may be too much lag but for a solo game like cyberpunk 2077 or Mass Effect that I’ve used it for it works fantastic way better than using the touchscreen buttons.

    It's a great time for mobile gaming!!!!

    Using this with my iPhone 15 Pro Max could NOT be any easier. Just download the app and you're all set. Works with my case too! I've been using this mostly for emulators like Delta and PPSSPP and it works perfectly. I wish there were a couple programmable buttons for emulation purposes but for what its trying to accomplish, it nails it.

    Got me playing videogames again

    Got me hooked to cod mobile. Just not too crazy about the app. When you try to access some games through the backbone app, some games like pub g ask you to sibscride to backbones premium app and theres no way to bypass this unless you agree. But you just have to access the game through the gamea respective app and not the backbone app. Other than that, its dope. Use it on my s24 ultra while im at work
