    Incredible, use it for all mobile gaming now. Highly recommend, especially now that emulators are allowed on the App Store.

    I love the durability of the backbone vs the kishi. I love also how they have a PS version. The only thing I don’t like is the remote play for the PlayStation.. which isn’t offered by backbone that is a PlayStation issue.

    Great for playing games on the road only downfall is your limited to only games in the app. Other than that works perfect for what it is.

    This is one of my best purchases and it feels like i have a playstation portable. I can play my best ps5 games away from home as long as i have a good internet connection! Must buy for gamers!

    It’s an amazing little controller add on for your phone. It plays on the playstation remote play very well and I wish we could have our phone case on but we have to take it off. Otherwise no complaints love it and will be using it everywhere

    Good idea, not worth the price.

    **Does not work with iPhone 14! The camera pop out is too big and will not fit in this. It fit fine on iPhone 12 Max but not iPhone 14 Max. This controller is a great idea, but with the price set at much higher than an official controller, these controllers offer much less for much more money. It’s dumb that you always have to take your phone out of its case (even very thin ones) to fit. It works as advertised (if it fits your phone) but should be prized at most half of its current price.

    Overall I like the Backbone One and its app. But it doesn’t make sense to me why they omitted some buttons from the PS5 controller.

    Cheaper option for a PS Portal

    Works great and is cheaper than a ps portal. Single player games work great but it’s iffy with multiplayer games

    Works great BUT I will say the attachment for iPhone 14 Pro Max doesn't hold the phone well, so I prefer not to use that phone with this controller.

    It’s the best phone controller on the market. Wish the backbone software was free tho. 50 a year for an app that’s not needed. Eh

    Purchased as a Christmas gift for my sons. I was under the impression they would be able to play all games at any location. To play most games must be on the same WIFI as the play station. The boys love it.

    I bought because I thought I can play PS5 games, but no, you can only use it like an other control, but you can play some XBOX games, the only thing you need to be subscribe to the app

    Totally worth it to play at home from bed or where ever. Not sure on the value for remotely playing some games unless you have fiber internet. Great all around otherwise.
