“C est une bonne qualité malgré mon écran d‘ iPhone 8 est trop petite pour jouer. Imagine ce sera bien de jouer sur iPad comme la Switch. C est le top. En attendant des nouvelles créations. J adoré cette manette c est la facilité de jouer. Bravo a vous !”

“Love it. It works beautifully. The reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is that when I want to use it I have to remove my protective case for my phone. I know for certain reasons you made it that way. But if you find a way to be able to use it with certain cases or make a case specifically to work with your controller would be amazing. Also, if you could make one to fit an iPad mini. The bigger screen would make it more enjoyable to play as a handheld.”

“Backbone itself is great…got a new phone and it didn’t fit. The adapter they sent (for free) is trash. Doesn’t even hold the phone in place. Disappointed, and won’t be using mine any longer.”

“The controller is perfect and works flawlessly. I use the device regularly and haven't noticed any wear. The one gripe I have is this: To use the controller with any other device such as PC you need to have the premium Backbone app subscription. Why oh why is the functionality locked behind a pay wall? The other features of the app make sense to charge for however I don't agree with limiting the use of the controller to just the iPhone. Make this right!!!!!!”

“The backbone hardware is amazing easily the best controller on the market. Super comfortable, high quality triggers and buttons, very sturdy and durable both the actual controller itself and the hinge that keeps your phone on it. Never felt like it was gonna break if I accidently extended it too far. The Backbone app is incredible. Perfect UI design that is literally console quality, I was actually shocked on how good it is, responsiveness, ui layout, ease of access, sound design, even the social features. It's above and beyond what you'd expect. The only problem with this is the $40 a year membership for the app. I understand these things cost money but it's not fair to expect $40 a yr for this when PSN/XBL gives you WAY more value for $60. You don't need this to play online, nor are you getting any free games. As cool as the app is, there's nothing it can offer to justify that price tag. I would literally rather pay $100 for a lifetime access then $40 a year. This doesn't need a subscription service. The social aspect is so niche and gimmicky that it doesn't add to the value, although it's nice to have, if it was a FREE service this would benefit so much more. Would I recommend? Hell yes this is THE definitive controller. The only thing keeping it back is the yearly subscription that is unnecessary. Add a lifetime option and I'm in. It just doesn't feel like it's worth a subscription, but it's definitely too good of a service to be completely free.”

“Not sure if there’s certain settings that i’ve missed but the brightness and imaging quality is a little darker from my phone. Other than that no issues what so ever.”

“Great idea wish it was made with better quality materials my joystick on the left has already messed up not very accurate and I’ve only have had the chance to use it 4times”

“The controller seems mostly sturdy and user friendly. I really enjoy playing with the controller and I am satisfied with my purchase. There I’ve noticed that my thumb gets a bit sore from the left stick not sure if that goes away or if I’m using it a bit wrong. Also the controller seems a bit jittery, as if the sliding parts could be a bit tighter so it wouldn’t move so much but mostly this doesn’t impact gameplay. We’ll see how it holds up in the long run.”

“The device is perfect and works awesomely. You’ll need the adapter if you have a new iPhone 14 promax my only problem with it is that the camera still rubs on the plastic but the controller does the job ad is a great control.”

“Works very good as it should. An issue I have is my phone doesn't sit flat against the controller on the left hand side where the camera is. I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max with a camera protector. It would fit fine without the camera protector but it would be awesome if an adjust could be made to fit around the camera protector on these phones. Also would be nice if the phone was more secure and could be used in a case. But besides the little things the quality is great and everything works as it should. I've never had an issue with it”

“I love the functions and idea behind this. I work Monday through Friday away from home so this product is amazing for my situation. Only thing I have a problem with is that the controls are too small for my big hands. So I struggle to have comfortable game play with the size of the product. I like to compare it to the controllers on the Nintendo switch.”
