The hardware is good, but the Android app needs work. The app has frequent crashes/failures when starting, confusing menus, and a distinct lack of clarity about what Android/Xbox games are supported. It is easier to load games directly outside of the app. Disappointing companion app to the hardware, that tempers enthusiasm for the future of Backbone - software rush-launched in MVP state to meet the hardware release date.

This app needs updates to keep up to date with current games. It needs a key bind feature for games. Recently my sprint sometimes works and sometimes it won't. For 100$ there should be more features that work better. It doesn't charge while using the c port at all. It doesn't have a built in battery for longer gaming sessions. When I record videos it doesn't save it automatically to my phone I have to find it and download it. I've even recorded video and the light was on but it didn't save.

I like how the attachment controller works. It feels really smooth, and it doesn't cause issues on my device other than having to take off the case. It works really fine and snugged in with the adapters. At first, I had issues with removing the adapter for the iPhone cases, but eventually, I figured out how to remove it. Put other than that, I would say it works perfectly
