  • Misleading subscription page

    I have to controller for the app but when I open the app it’s permalocked on a 40 dollar subscription page with no exit button. Genuinely no point of having the controller if it’s gonna force me to pay more on an app just to use it. I used the app only once before and it worked fine but now it’s stuck on the subscription page even when I made a new account.
  • Complete scam

    I bought my Backbone for the PS a few years ago and at first it was pretty dang cool but now I can’t play any PS4 games unless my PS4 is turned on. I can’t play it away from the house because I lose internet connection and which is dumb and if I want to play certain games I have to download it onto my phone which is just plain stupid. Then to play any of the Xbox games I have to pay for a plan even though I’m already paying for a backbone subscription. A complete scam and waist of money and time. Don’t buy or a backbone.

    Look I’m not hating on you but the only games I play is madden, nba 2k, and Roblox. Y’all don’t have Roblox and 2k (my favorite games) so please get those games but everything else is sick!
  • says a game which i play with controller lacks controller support

    the app wants me to leave a review on the game so that it gets controller support but the game already has controller support, also i cannot remap the buttons so the confirm button is on the right side like the nintendo orientation i am used to, i have to remap in iOS so all the glyphs in game are incorrect. and they have the audacity to ask for $40 a year to access their garbage 'premium' features. get your app working correctly first, then add premium sub. controller is great, everything else about this app is so poorly implemented.

    My controller is getting out of hand and is keep on putting notifications on my phone by saying “if you want to play backbone get it in the App Store” I didn’t even press the back bone button and still puts up the notification like I’m gonna sue backbone if they don’t fix this and we bought another one just for that to happen again
  • GeForce shortcut not available

    So, I like the app, I got my first backbone pro, it’s making my phone really do some impressive stuff not just with cloud gaming, but games I already had on my phone. I’m exploring the various ways to connect to games, exploring trials, using Steam link, etc etc I like that the backbone is a hub for all these in one spot, so I will get the yearly subscription; as it’s pretty useful. But what I’m having a hard time with right now, is 1. Seeing my steam library 2.seeing the games on gamepass that are in my tier, and available to me. (Which is making exploring what I am able to play, very difficult. Because I will add a game and it says “you need to upgrade to ultra” so it’s not categorized by its tier) And 3rd and probably most importantly for what I’m coming to understand. *****There is no shortcut to click on to take me to GEforce Now; which has much more games available in my Steam roster that the backbone app will show me in my library****** GeForce now is much more useful to someone with a Steam library, that hasn’t Steam link set up yet (Steam link is the cheapest in remote play; GeForce is the cheapest in Cloud play and most quality) In order for me to get to GeForce now quickly, I must start up a small game like doom 1 and 2 (oldschool) and then exit out to get to GeForce now, which I connected to my Steam. OR I have to scoot ALL the way down in the app to find the open browser button and then access it there Which I have to type in the URL or google it in the backbone browser let to bring up (There is no favorites in the browser or an option to create a shortcut) So in short, backbone NEEDS a quick link to GeForce now on the app home page if they don’t want to create a sub category in the library tab that ACTUALLY lists all the games available to my connected Steam account And connected to GeForce.

    Got it back in Jan 2024 it was working great until recently. It started with UP on the left stick not working and now the whole left side of the controller doesn’t respond. When I try to calibrate it, the left stick is now stuck going diagonally UP/LEFT and non of the button work on the left side. I plugged it on a spare Android phone and the controller works great as intended. Checked for firmware updates on both iOS and Android and it’s on the latest 1.2.6.
