    It seems like there is a slight lag with maybe the device connecting to the phone. It’s great for games that don’t require a lot of perfect timing.

    Its cool for dabbling in a game on your lunch break or waiting in a waiting room but it doesnt beat a real controller to be honest

    If you do not have 5G or High Speed Internet, then this is not for you. For those who do, I recommend it! You get Stadia, Xbox (1 Month of Xbox Game Pass), Apple Store Games compatible and more. I really enjoy it and it's very compact.

    I’m just wish this device would fit phones that have cases on them. Having to pay for the subscription service is a huge let down now too.

    Bought it as a gift. They love it. Only thing that would make it better was if you didn’t have to take your case off when you want to use it

    This is awesome for my iphone 13. I played Diablo Immortal on it and it runs it very smooth. Taking your phone off is bit awkward but once you figure it out its easy.

    I bought this for a road trip and it worked seamlessly. I do have a smaller iphone so i can just assume would work better for the bigger ones. Cloud gaming does have its limitations .

    Totally worth the money. Great alternative to buying a switch and continuing to play the games you already have!
