### 5/5 — El gato lo mejor!.

*2026-08-05, version 2.4.2*

Súper buena la app y el producto!.

### 5/5 — Such a great app.

*2026-07-25, version 2.4.2*

Please do not change anything on the mobile app.   I use it every day and it works perfectly.

### 2/5 — Siri doesnt work

*2026-07-21, version 2.4.1*

Siri doesnt work on iOS 26. Everything else seems fine so far, but I really needed hands free functionality

### 1/5 — Does not work with physical hardware

*2026-07-04, version 2.4.1*

I was hoping this would work with a physical Stream Deck XL device. I installed the app in hopes of accessing the same key layout on a mobile device. No dice. I would have to rent access to more buttons in addition to the six free ones. So disappointed. Uninstalled the mobile app. What a waste of time, but i do like the physical Stream Deck better.

### 5/5 — Parfait !

*2026-07-02*

parfait pour moi ! Je voulais tester avant d'envisager l'achat d'un Stream Deck physique. La formule gratuite est parfaite et personnellement pour moi elle est largement suffisante. le fait de pouvoir acheter de manière permanente ou de s'abonner, je trouve et également une super idée. Merci beaucoup pour l'appli !

### 5/5 — Best

*2026-06-11*

After v2 release price are Good and functionalities are superb.

### 1/5 — Love the Stream deck/mobile not so much

*2026-06-10, version 2.4.1*

Tried for quite a while to get it work. Just wouldn't connect via usb, iPhone 17pro max tried USC-USC, USB to USC , every port , videos , minor setting changes, WiFi and nothing would work so so far can't give a good review .. there is is frustration. And yes everything is updated if any can help I'm all ears!

### 5/5 — 노트북과 함께 사용하기 최고 입니다

*2026-06-06*

엘가토 스트림덱을 휴대용으로 쓰고 싶었는데, 모바일로 가능하다니 최고입니다!

유튜브 채널과 즐겨찾기 설정으로 빠르게 사이트에 접근 가능해서 최고입니다!

### 1/5 — Cool, but doesn’t work.

*2026-05-31, version 2.4.1*

Disconnects and times out literally all the time. Other apps work totally fine. Connection isn’t persistent whatsoever (sometimes fails in seconds). Trying to use as a button box with iRacing, but way, way too inconsistent and thus unreliable (can’t get through one session without multiple disconnects).

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-05-31, version 2.4.1*

What can I say, congratulations to all developers who worked on this. Simply amazing and smooth af.
