Hey if you're still alive, I have a small problem. Everytime I pressed the notification without switching to the gamepad keyboard yet, obviously nothing happened. But when I switch to the keyboard gamepad then pressed the notifications it doesn't app Please fix and thanks

First time using the app, it doesnt look too bad and works in general as a keyboard. In games it worked fine. But after a while, the notification bar disappeared. I tried re-downloading the app but no luck... The experience was fun, but for now I think I will check my phone in case there were any problems in it.

I just wanted to say.. this was AMAZING. But, the most thing I loved when I installed a hack for undertale. I used the joystick and it Perfectly worked. This is the best app ever, make sure to make it easier to get the notification!

I liked it, i was able to play Undertale with it, but after that when i turned my phone off i was trying to put in my password, but i couldnt since there was only a gamepad. Overrall it is a good app, but just dont turn it your phone off when youre using it i guess

Okay so, I love this but I feel like there should be a setting for a joystick like on the controllers now a days, it's just a but hard to play certain games with the Dpad. Hopefully this gets added cause if it dose I will give a higher review and I'll use it more often.

It's ok it works (sorta) when I change the buttons for undertale it wont work so I have to wait an hour for it to work so pls fix it and the hitbox of the joysticks or whatever they're called it's small so as soon as my thumb moves slightly off of it it stops suddenly so pls make the hit boxes a little bit bigger but other than that, no complains
