    I'm not really disappointed with the product, but I prefer the old traditional way of gaming. The backbone is good for playing games that do not have a lot of detail and moving parts if that makes sense. You have to consider that you were playing on the phone in the frame rate is different. It's more of a preference thing.

    Yeah dont install the app, you do not need it and it just puts a drain on your battery. The controller itself is nice but dont leave it connected to your phone when not in use, it is also a battery drain. Got it on sale for 60$ and that seems what this should be priced at, if not lower. 100$ is pretty steep and wouldnt recomend.
