### 1/5 — No longer supported

*2024-12-24, version 1.0.1*

I would love an update to this app to make it work

### 1/5 — Hot Garbage, don't get

*2022-06-07, version 1.0.1*

The app was abandoned years ago, and the firmware updates don't work. The controller is a waste of money and it hasn't been updated for 4 years to work with new games

### 1/5 — ⚠️ Don’t waste your time

*2021-11-17, version 1.0.1*

Firmware update doesn’t work. This app was abandoned several years ago.

### 1/5 — ファームウェアアップデートが全然終わらない

*2021-08-22, version 1.0.1*

HORIPAD ULTIMATEを使用しているのだが、ファームウェアアップデートがいつまで経っても終わらない上にそもそも動作すらしない。ゲームやろうとしたらこれで非常に困っている。早急に対応していただきたい。

### 1/5 — DONT BUY!

*2021-07-22, version 1.0.1*

This is a abseloute trash controller. I bought it and it can’t connect, and it won’t FREAKING WORK ON ANY GAME! DONT BUY IT!

### 1/5 — Not updating

*2021-06-03, version 1.0.1*

Please update the app and fix the bugs.

### 1/5 — Gotta love the lack of support!

*2021-03-08, version 1.0.1*

Bought this to be able to play Minecraft on my iPhone but the fact the app hasn’t had an update to help with support of newer games is a disgrace. Luckily I have a PS4 controller that is now natively supported through the iOS but 4 years without and update, 4 YEARS‽‽‽ Come on HORI!

### 1/5 — Says update available but won’t update controller

*2020-02-03, version 1.0.1*

Was this really the one endorsed by Apple?

### 2/5 — Firmware update

*2020-01-10, version 1.0.1*

The firmware update doesn’t seem to be downloading.

### 1/5 — Absolute Garbage

*2019-11-08, version 1.0.1*

The game pad is worse than garbage, and what’s the app for? Simply trash. I bought the pad today, going back tomorrow. The company owes me $500 for testing their product, which fails in every aspect. There should be a negative star rating system for garbage like this. One star is too much of a plus rating
