Customer Ratings & Reviews

When I purchased this, I thought it was going to be the coolest thing ever. Ultimately, though, it performed its job well but the iPhone is lacking in its gaming offerings (Not including Game Pass, which is far too laggy to truly enjoy). There are some games, and it works very well with them... they are just not the kind of games I am rushing to come back to though. If there is a title or two that you think a controller is absolutely necessary for, this product is for you. If you think that it is going to replace something like a Nintendo Switch... you are definitely mistaken.

Definitely a great portable want to take your XBOX with you it does not upset can be used with steam and other setups it is a great item highly recommend for the price cant be beat.....again Best Buy will match any price out there Definitely recommend......

Good product just the subscription makes it work better but I do not want to have to pay for a yearly subscription to make the controller better. So you just have to launch each app separately rather than have all streaming and games in the same app

My teen loves this device. It is very simple to set up (just fit your phone into it, it just works). It plays any game that supports controller. Very cool purchase.

I was so eager to love this while traveling. Conceptually, it’s great. Super comfortable and ergonomic. Buttons highly responsive. Supports phone securely in place + option to charging passthrough on bottom right of controller. If you are planning to use this to play downloaded games to your phone from Apple Arcade/Store, the backbone is a wonderful option. If you’re scooping the Backbone to play XBox or Playstation remotely, I would reconsider and/or run some tests via respective console before purchase. it’s fully possible that my home network speed just isn’t supportive of remote play. If that’s the case, then the Backbone is a great value for remote gameplay. Isn’t suitable for my needs so I’m personally returning :(

This is portable and easy to pack with you. I would buy this again. I think it’s important to have a phone that is capable of playing quality video games.

Super easy to set up. Came with a whole year subscription. fun and easy to play cod online

I’m really enjoying my Backbone. I have long 3hr chemo sessions and using my iPhone and Backbone over XBox Cloud Gaming has been seemless and smooth even over cellular networks. I’ve already convinced one of the young nurses to go buy his own just by him looking over my shoulder while I cleared out some zombie hordes in State of Decay 2. Controls are responsive, buttons seem sturdy. The triggers are not very dynamic so I do a lot more feathering than I would on a dedicated XBox controller but it’s very easy to get acclimated with how they react to inputs.

Awesomeness can’t wait to play. I hope everyone has a chance to play with backbone and device. It’s awesome for traveling. I would recommend this product

This was the best thing i could’ve brought for my son without having to buy an actual game system. pretty simple setup and easy to use my son loves it for cod!

It’s pretty good. It’s not a 10/10 but it is satisfying enough if you want to game when your out of town or on a plane it’s up to you. However I don’t find the time for it. It’s good enough. Only but if if you truly need it other wise not worth the 99$ price tag. Thank you!

I love it. The buttons are clicky and responsive. It enables me to game on the go without having a bulky controller that sticks out like a sore thumb. The adapter for the 13 pro max is great too.

This is a life saver. My grand son loves that he can play on the go. I give this a 10/10

I like that my husband and I can play together without having to be on the console! Works great with my iPhone mini and his pro max.

I enjoy this product I recommend it for you all,you will thank me later

Controller itself is very good quality, great for the price. Two reasons why I’m giving it 4 stars, 1 you can’t use it with any case or camera protector glass and 2 it makes you download and purchase an app. Other than that the controller works fine great for gaming.

Awesome to play mobile games, down side you have to pay alot of monthly subscriptions to play most of the good ones. But cool device to travel with.

My 2 boys love this item. It is easy for them to use. Attaching it to their was phone was also extremely easy. I like that it is light weight.

Works great for native mobile games and also cloud gaming. This is great for people who either want to be able to play games wherever they go, or for those who can’t afford a console or PC to still be able to play games with friends! Once you get all of the softwares and all of your accounts linked, the integration between everything is super smooth. My only complaint is how many times I had to sign into things, but at some point you just can’t get past that. Other than that, there are no other complaints from me! 10/10 would recommend!

Great product and super fun to use! Way cheaper than purchasing a Nintendo switch as you can mostly play all the games you can on the Switch!
