" ... Go get an emulator, go get a couple hundred classic GBA/N64/PSP games and quit whining that one company hasn't invented hundreds of new games to go with your $4 controller. ... "most of their games cost money" -- Yes, that's called good business practice. ... Also, when have you EVER seen a gaming console that DIDN'T charge for each and every game?? ... It just wouldn't be possible to make sure a $4 controller has compatibility with every game out there, and it definitely wouldn't be practical for them to try. ... "
" ... I now own two of these great devices and enjoy playing mobile games on my down time. ... "
" ... (Can still play games like Metroid) ... "
" ... haven't tried native Android Games. ... "
" ... Good for the price (under $5), if you are willing to do some digging to get it to work with emulators . ... suitable for games that don't require precise d-pad actions since this unit only has dual joysticks . ... "
" ... My son loves this controller,no any problems with it . ... "
" ... The Hero works much better for playing classic games, as the thumb sticks on this just aren't that great. ... "
" ... I purchased it so that I could get a better gaming experience from the multiple apps I have downloaded that support controller input, but was never able to successfully get the controller to work with any of the apps. ... The controller itself seemed to be of a good quality, and held my phone well enough that it would have been great to play games with if I had ever been able to get it to work. ... "

" ... Heck, the official app on the Playstore isn't even supported! ... "
" ... I think it only works with games you get from their app, so I assume thy're just greedy and trying to milk me for games too. ... "
" ... The problem is it doesn't work with anything unless you buy it through their app but if you use their app all the games are more expensive than they are in the Play Store ... "
" ... Controller only works for their app! ... "
" ... Instead you are forced to use Moga's pivot app which tries to connect the controller and almost always fails to connect. ... The whole point of not allowing you to use standard Bluetooth is the Moga Pivot app wants you to buy games through their app. ... "
" ... The Moga pivot app does not work for connecting it, and universal third party apps dont either. ... "
" ... Not a single game on the Moga App. ... Not sure if I need a replacement or the App/Controller is bad . ... "
" ... This is junk and didn't work with a lot of the apps on a Windows phone. ... "

" ... So no connecting directly via Bluetooth like normal Bluetooth controllers. ... Instead you are forced to use Moga's pivot app which tries to connect the controller and almost always fails to connect. ... "
" ... I will however keep looking for a bluetooth controller that actually works with games on my android device. ... "
" ... This is junk and didn't work with a lot of the apps on a Windows phone. ... "
" ... I have never used such a trashy device. ... "
" ... A friend couldn't get it to work either on a different phone. ... "
" ... Doesn't function with newer devices. ... "
" ... Doesnt work with newer updated Android phones, connects but then doesnt work with any games, the company doesnt update anymore. ... "
" ... it does not work it only lets me use it with the dumb app why make something like that and call it blu tooth know I need the buy a new controller and waist money, worst thing even when I connect it to the app it never works. ... "

" ... Even after connecting to a device, downloading apps that appear on their list it still doesn't do anything more than navigate the app. ... "
" ... I even tried to download the included copy of Sonic CD, but was not able to get the download code to work. ... "
" ... It requires either a moga pivot app or good hacking software if that's your thing and you understand it. ... I have already reported the moga pivot app as false advertising as well as ripping off the public. ... "
" ... You have to download an application to actually use it, and if you're using a kindle you have to pay for the application which sucks. ... "
" ... Doesnt work with newer updated Android phones, connects but then doesnt work with any games, the company doesnt update anymore. ... "

" ... I've had it for two days, and it has already stoped working. ... I would not buy this due to the risk of it not working a few days later. ... "

" ... It's still way more comfortable and easier to use than the phone screen, which is all I wanted from a controller. ... It literally only sticks out about .1" from the controller, which is plenty to make it playable and small enough for comfort. ... 1) It's a lot more comfortable than I expected it to be. ... It's unexpectedly comfortable that way. ... "
" ... The only good things are the small size and ergonomics. ... "
" ... It feels great the way it is and it's convenient as heck. ... "
" ... I love the way the controller feels, and works great with the phone i have. ... "
" ... And because the feet are concave, they give you excellent control without your thumbs slipping on them at all. ... "
" ... Is a tiny small if you have big hands but it does the job very well. ... "
" ... It is very durable, doest wear down easily, not too small and fits a Moto z with a case. ... "

" ... "It wastes triple-A batteries" -- It only uses 2 batteries, you can buy rechargeable batteries, and if they had built-in, rechargeable lithium batteries it would probably cost $15-25 like other controllers. ... After many hours of play across many days, the charge is holding up. ... "
