Totally worth it

Love the controller rumble on GeForce Now

Bravo to the developers!

They really thought this through! Yeah you have to pay but it’s affordable and it just works so well! Playing forza horizon 6 at 120fps on my iPad Pro with max graphics and RTX thanks to
GeForce NOW. Again, it just works so well!

Apple TV

I know I’m just stating the obvious here but I want to say it anyways, where players really need this app is the Apple TV, if they got rid of the browser and made it so you could only access your popular cloud gaming services, it would have a great chance of getting on the Apple TV. This would easily become one of the top selling apps in the gaming section, the Apple TV owners have been waiting for a third party work around app like this for a long time, I think Cloud Gear has a good chance of making the kind of money that comes with being the first apps to successfully pull it off. It’s inevitable that a developer will make it for us eventually, might as well be cloud gear, from using there Xbox app I feel there just as good as anybody at this sort of stuff.

Better than I thought it would be

I’ve been using nexus+ for a long time. Decided to give this app a try considering it’s made specifically for cloud gaming. The 7 day free trial is all you need to see how great this app is in comparison. I use GeForce now and I have to say it not only looks better than any others I’ve tried but it performs noticeably better. Playing on controller all of my inputs are more responsive which is a huge deal. I also really like that I can put GeForce now in the background and not have to worry about it closing my game randomly unlike the others I’ve used. Now I don’t take advantage of all the bells and whistles but this is the best app for cloud gaming I’ve ever used. Thank you guys, and I look forward to any improvements.

Great App for iPad and iPhone

If you are looking for a browser app that can play modern non-mobile games, like anything on Xbox or PlayStation or Steam, this is the app for you. Using the web versions of any cloud gaming service, CloudGear allows you to use the iPad pointer to play PC games from basically any service. The iPhone app also allows you to automatically change screen orientation without unlocking it from the iPhone settings, like you would need to do in normal Safari. This is a game changer for me, and totally recommend using this app and joining the Discord for updates. If you are an Xbox user, this also has the ability to install Better xCloud natively without installing additional apps, and has a way to manually check for updates from the Better xCloud team, which is a plus. With your iCloud account, all of your bookmarks are saved to your account, which is transferable to a different device, like in sync with your iPhone and iPad. Buying the app outright is worth it or subscribing for a year also worth it.

I was skeptical at first, but I decided to try it out and I was pleasantly surprised that it actually works. Well worth the money!

says timed out

it says timed out every time i open the app i tried redownloading the app but no work fix or help please?

Paid beta with broken mouse control

As a paid user, I am absolutely disappointed with Cloud Gear. The system feels completely unfinished and lacks proper optimization and maintenance from the development team.

I am using a 13-inch iPad Pro (M5) with the original Magic Keyboard, running the latest iPadOS 26.5 and the most recent version of the Cloud Gear app. While the app does offer certain quality-of-life advantages compared to free alternatives, you expect a paid product to be free of such obvious, glaring bugs. At the moment, using this service feels like trading free options with their own issues for a paid option with a different set of problems—except now I am paying money for it.

The mouse input bugs severely ruin the experience, occurring not only during gameplay but throughout the entire virtual PC session. First, there is a constant cursor offset issue: the mouse pointer is visually positioned to the right of where the actual click occurs, meaning the real click registers slightly to the left of the visible cursor. Second, the cursor completely disappears in various desktop scenarios. For instance, when using cloud services like Boosteroid, if I close a game to access the Steam Workshop to subscribe to mods, the cursor vanishes entirely. It remains active, forcing me to blindly move the mouse and click around on pure guesswork, trying to hit small navigation elements or subscription buttons.

It is valuable that the developers are trying to create a quality-of-life product, but charging a subscription fee when such systemic bugs exist is unacceptable. When buying a premium service, the expectation is comfort, but I have received nothing but frustration and discomfort. It is currently not worth the money.

Given that this is currently the only active system in this niche that is being developed, I sincerely hope the team will step up and fix these issues. If the developers actually test their product and resolve these flaws, it will have a massive competitive edge. I might consider coming back in six months or a year to check on the progress, but right now, it is a massive disappointment.

Took my money

O star for sure

It works well

I tried this out specifically on Guild Wars 2 and Final Fantasy 16 on my ipad. They both worked perfectly so far. The usual playing around with settings required but all good. I probably won’t cancel after the free 7 day trial. It’s a good deal for the year.

CloudGear remote support

CloudGear does not have support for the Backbone via lightning for the iPhone cannot use during PlayStation or Xbox cloud gaming

Love this

I love this app. It works perfectly for me to play SDV through gamepass with my Xbox controller. So much better than the iOS version. Completely satisfied. Worth the subscription.

Must have for iOS GeForce Now Users

This app is a must have for anyone that wants to stream their gaming library to their iOS devices. Not only does it unlock the better resolution and graphic qualities the official apps (such as GeForce Now) limit, it also allows for M&K games to function properly when using an external mouse and keyboard, unlike the official apps. This is an absolute game changer for wanting to utilize their iOS devices for gaming at a reasonable price. I’d suggest the lifetime unlock personally as a monthly fee would surpass that price in a very short time. Happy gaming!

Best app in the App Store for gamers

I recently discovered this app and it’s my favourite app on my iPad. I’m on the 7 days trial and I will definitely buy the lifetime version because it worth every penny! For gamers like me who want to play their steam/epic libraries when away from their pc. You could do it with geforce now anyway but now you have more platforms like amazon Luna, Xbox cloud, etc. But the best of all features is that you can use KEYBOARD and MOUSE to play your games not just controller!!!

hdr 켜주는거 하나만으로 돈값함

you are losing your money by not using this app for game streaming

Excellent browser for cloud gaming

The CloudGear is the best browser to use for cloud gaming and my opinion it’s worth the $40 lifetime subscription for what it offers but the other subscription plans are also good for those who don’t play games on mobile often. I mainly purchased the app for rumble effect using the Xbox controller on the iPad Pro but what really convinced me to purchase the app was the ability to display full screen on the TV using the iPhone or iPad. Also with the app I now can have rumble effect through the iPhone haptic when using the Razer Kishi Pro which works better than I expected.

Backbone Pro Controller Support

We need controller support

Game controller support whatever that means

Please add game controller support.

Incredible app and great team.

Brief review is it makes your service infinitely better and when I had an issue the team was personally DM’ing me to fix it. Great app.

Utterly flawless

I use this for my iPad m4 pro and Razer kishi v3 XL controller.

Absolutely amazing dev that has also immediately worked to fix issues I’ve reported - hit them up in discord if you ever have problems.

Between HDR and 120fps, this makes games look truly INCREDIBLE on my iPad
