I’m adding 5 stars since why not. ### 5/5 — This is a great controller testing app *2019-11-09, version 1.2* All of the negative reviews are from people who don’t understand what this is. You need to have an MFI compatible controller, or an Xbox one/ps4 controller. This app is to test the buttons and connection of iOS controllers. It does not enable you to use non-MFI controllers, that is impossible in iOS and not what this app is for anyway. ### 5/5 — Money maker *2019-10-29, version 1.2* I had gotten a bunch of Walmart return Xbox controllers was selling them for $25 because I had no way to test them. Found this app tested the remaining ones I had a reposted them for $35 they still sold almost instantly. ### 3/5 — Rotor Riot L3+R3 *2019-07-29, version 1.2* I have an Rotor Riot controller and I tried l3 and r3 but there’s no input. This is on an iPhone 5s. Do I need 2GB of ram for it to show l3+r3 input and support? ### 3/5 — Works great, but ugh, ads! *2019-07-27* It does what it says it does. But I really wish there was an in-app purchase to turn off ads. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2019-07-21, version 1.1* iOS 13 beta allows me to connect my DS4 and this app picked it up no problem Great work developers ### 5/5 — THANK GOD! *2019-07-19, version 1.1* This helped so much! And just so the kids know. ITS NOT A CONTROLLER. Its to test and trouble shoot ### 1/5 — Help *2019-02-17, version 1.1* How do I connect it? ### 3/5 — Needs update *2019-02-10, version 1.1* Lacks l3, r3 support ### 3/5 — ? *2019-02-03, version 1.1* How can we Connect PS3 controller ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-12-07, version 1.2* Scam ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work With Nimbus Controller *2021-11-23, version 1.2* Tried this app to troubleshoot Steelseries Nimbus controller but it couldn’t recognize it to start troubleshooting. ### 1/5 — Ads kill it literally *2021-07-17, version 1.2* Press 2 buttons and an ad comes up and crashes the app... ### 1/5 — Crashes *2020-12-26, version 1.2* It’s own adverts crash the app ### 1/5 — PS3 controller testing *2020-12-09, version 1.2* Scammer ### 1/5 — shame this went downhill *2020-10-20, version 1.2* used to be a great app to test controllers. now when you launch you get a full screen ad that requires you to unlock rotation and watch a video after about 5 secods ### 1/5 — Switch? *2020-04-26, version 1.2* Can I connect my Nintendo switch? ### 1/5 — Don’t pay for this *2019-09-22, version 1.2* Look I paid for this but isn’t worth nothing you can look for apps by yourself and don’t pay this ohhh I want my money back !!! ### 1/5 — Works rarely. Crashes Constantly. Constant full screen pop-up ads. *2019-09-19* This app was, at one point, a stable and highly practical utility that did what it promised. If that app is still in here, it’s been made host to a brutal parasite of adware—constantly crashing and hiccuping full-screen pop-ups like a Tourette’s tic. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2019-05-01, version 1.1* Garbage ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very good app, but I request one more feature. *2023-07-02, version 1.2* Hi there, I got this app to test my controller, works AMAZINGLY well. But I am requesting for a new feature: vibration/haptic testing. Thank you for reading my review. 😉 ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2022-12-21, version 1.2* Works great for testing out controllers. Used it with my PS5 Dualsense and it detected all the pressure sensitivity, and buttons really well. The ads pop up a bit randomly but other than that, good job. ### 5/5 — Does what it should *2022-03-26, version 1.2* This app is designed to help you test your controller. I tested on a Steel Series Nimbus and it worked perfectly. Easily connected to my iPad running 13.1 and had no issues. ### 5/5 — Awesome!!!!!! *2021-07-24, version 1.2* Love it very reliable when I feel my controller drifting and helps test out the controller if ur buttons work correctly🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 ### 5/5 — Incredibly Helpful *2021-01-15, version 1.2* My job frequently involved testing Xbox One and PS4 controllers, this app is a godsend. ### 5/5 — How do you even is this?? *2020-10-22, version 1.2* I mean I want to use it but how? ### 5/5 — Perfect *2020-06-12, version 1.2* This app is great. Best way to test mfi controller analog sticks and buttons- thanks for making this! ### 5/5 — NOT worst app ever! *2020-04-29, version 1.2* The app does what it says, handy for testing game controllers. Thanks! ### 5/5 — works perfect thank you! *2020-01-06, version 1.2* I got this to check a used ps4 controller before buying. Worked perfect showing the resolution of the joysticks and triggers well. All buttons that the apple firmware supports showed up. People leaving bad reviews because it doesn't work with ps3 are so dumb, they should be removed. And one person said it worked as described and left 3 stars what an a hole. Honestly thanks to the dev who made this and put it up for free (which costs them 100$/yr to post to the app store btw) It was really helpful and the extra style with sounds and mini-game made me laugh. Your awesome and ill be checking out your other apps. ### 5/5 — Really good and helpful *2020-01-04, version 1.2* Works good, and I found the issue my controller was having, just wished it had more features such as rumble motors test or speaker test, but other than that works like a charm. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
