Everything else seems fine so far, but I really needed hands free functionality ### 2/5 — Cool app *2026-04-18* Hey devs this is a really cool app but if I were to suggest one thing is to make a one time payment to own the app instead of the membership…,” I’d totally love to buy the app but don’t allow for a one time payment, I’d rather not pay for a subscription and rather own it :)) ### 2/5 — Works well except over USB *2026-04-10, version 2.4.1* Works well over wifi, but I have never been able to get it to work with any iOS device with wifi disabled over a USB connection, which it claims to support. ### 5/5 — Vale la pena *2026-04-08, version 2.4.0* Muy buena app con los Plugins gratis se cubren varias cosas que le faltan y es recomendable no pagar la suscripción sino el app permanente . ### 5/5 — 接続されない *2026-04-08* 接続されない不具合で利用ができない状況が続いています。改善をお願いします。 ### 3/5 — Wifi connection doesn’t work *2026-04-07* I’m on the latest version and the app will only connect to my Mac via usb. I’ve tried all troubleshooting methods but nothing seems to bring back the wireless functionality it had when I started using the app about a year ago. Wired works well, though, it would be beneficial to have a wireless connection. Other than that it’s a pretty handy app to have. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-03-26, version 2.4.0* Nice ### 5/5 — Wish it was all free but it’s good *2026-03-22, version 2.4.0* It’s great and I love it keep it up ### 5/5 — The best *2026-03-09, version 2.4.0* This is the best software I have ever used on my computer it’s so easy and user friendly I’m able to control pretty much everything with my computer. ### 5/5 — 3-2 *2026-03-07, version 2.4.0* I like 3-2 format ### 5/5 — Lovely review *2026-02-28* Amazing app, works lovely so easy to setup and use and I recommend this to anyone good for all ages to understand. :) ### 5/5 — Warning! Addictive *2026-02-18, version 2.4.0* Got this at 10am… just noticed the sun went down. Got nothing else done today. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Défectueux *2026-08-02* Après installation impossible de me connecter sois disant que j’utilise pas la même connexion déçu moi qui voulais partir sur un stream deck plus cher ### 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. ### 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! ### 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). ### 1/5 — The app won't connect to the computer. *2026-05-12, version 2.4.1* The app won't connect to the computer. It constantly shows “Connecting… Trying to restore previous connection.” All permissions (including Local Network) are enabled, same Wi-Fi, restarts don’t help. The issue remains unresolved. ### 1/5 — Absolute trash *2026-04-19, version 2.4.1* Never connects and when it does nothing works right and constantly disconnects. ### 1/5 — 接続できない *2026-04-06* 同じインターネットに接続して、QRコードを読み取っても接続できない PCにUSB繋いでも接続できない。 どちらも最新バージョンなのでインストールしなおしても出来ない ### 1/5 — Rarely works *2026-02-05, version 2.4.0* Got the stream deck awhile back and I super love it. I’m starting to get into more complicating scenes that require me to stand up. I want to use my mobile phone to be able to activate a couple effects. The app is constantly losing connection and when it disconnects it takes 10/15 minutes to connect again. ### 1/5 — This app don’t work *2026-01-25* Tried everything to connect but nothing ### 1/5 — Even if you buy the hardware, they only allow 6 buttons! *2026-01-10, version 2.4.0* This would add value to the hardware but unless you pay a subscription, you are limited to 6 buttons. It would be great if I could register the SN of my 15 button Stream Deck to unlock the software keys. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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! ### 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. ### 5/5 — Best app *2026-05-24, version 2.4.1* Great app ### 5/5 — More keys!!! *2026-05-21, version 2.4.1* I have an Ipad pro with 11 inch display it would be nice if i can add 2 extra columns to fill the empty area, so maybe add the ability to add more than 64 keys? and i hate opening 2 instances of the app to have more keys, anyway thank you guys for this great app! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-04-19* I absolutely love using Stream Deck. I remember when I first saw Stream Deck and never got one because I always believed it wouldn't be for me, until one day a friend recommended it to me. So I bought the small one to give it a go and realised how powerful it actually was so i've since upgraded, I love it, it's so good. If you ever get one, you will wonder how you ever managed without it. It's an extremely useful tool. I totally recommend Stream Deck.....Get one, you will never look back. ### 5/5 — Très Pratique *2026-04-13* C’est compatible à obs c’est vraiment wow et c’est très pratique si tu fais des lives --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
