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

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.
