I downloaded this to be able using my gamepad to keyboard keys so I could have better controls in Amiga emulators... it worked good for 1 time, after that I found that the Dpad directions were no more working...Though I could fix that but googling I found that the app literally check which emulator you are running and decide to block functions if you aren't using the paid versions from the same author. It's a shame because if it was working great I would have paid 5$ alone just for this app.

For starters, the interface is older than dirt; not user friendly at all. Second, i only downloaded because I thought this was compatible for mobile games using touch screen & digital buttons WITHOUT ROOT. But when i clicked on the input method and selected "Native Controller/USB" it said the device wasn't rooted. why should I pay for an app that STILL needs root when Octopus does it for free?

App does not work. On a rooted device, in standalone mode, when opening the controller the controller moves for a second, then freezes. Then says "App not Responding". This is even with the "App not responding fix installed"

The only downside to this app is it doesn't read the NVIDIA SHIELD Portable trigger buttons. It lets you map EVERYTHING else. I would rate this a 5 stars easily if the triggers were supported, but sadly they are not.

Great app. But sometimes on screen controller is not responsive. Like a B combo on Streets of Rage Remake.
