Obsolete hardware *2019-08-11, version 1.0.1* Dev: update your app and firmware! ### 2/5 — アップデートできない *2019-07-29, version 1.0.1* iPadでFortniteをしていると、よく入力不可能の表示が出て操作できなくなる為アプリでアップデートを行うも、何度やっても途中で固まる。。。 ### 1/5 — App needs update for iPhone XR *2019-03-16, version 1.0.1* iOS app needs updates and refresh and better software support and firmware updates. Hori where you at!? ### 1/5 — MFi controllers sold in Apple Stores *2019-01-31, version 1.0.1* The Steel Series was the first MFi controller I owned. The app itself was abandon two years ago and no new updates. This app for the HORIPAD ULTIMATE is in the same boat. Two years later and no updates. There are new games that are allowing MFi controller support, but we cannot use this controller. It cost almost the same as a PS4 and Xbox One controller, so does it make it worth buying? No. Only two updates for this app and no online support. There are third party sellers for MFi controllers being sold that are doing better than this controller and its company. An update is needed, but it will not happen as they abandon the app, the controller, and its customers. Is it worth the $40 $50? No! I wish I can get a refund and the abandonment should make it refundable. Period! This became a part of the death of MFi controllers sold within Apple Stores. Warning: DO NOT BUY MFi CONTROLLERS IN APPLE STORES. ### 1/5 — Firmware update is broken *2018-10-14, version 1.0.1* Firmware update is broken Bunch of noobs?!? ### 1/5 — Updates please!!! *2018-10-03, version 1.0.1* I spent too much on this Apple approved product to not get much necessary updates! A plea to the developer - I left consider everyone that supported your product and give back to us ### 1/5 — Firmware Update Freezing? *2018-09-16, version 1.0.1* September 16th, 2018!!! - Tried opening the app to use the remote for my iPad Pro and the HORIPAD update icon freezes at like 2%. I’ve tried rebooting the iPad and the remote itself but nothing seems to help. Is this remote going to be usable after this? It’s really frustrating, I can’t use my iPad games until this gets resolved. Very disappointed, please fix. I see it’s been an issue since February!? Wow this is shameful. ### 1/5 — Useless app why need download? *2018-09-12, version 1.0.1* All it does is tell me mapped button input. No updates. No information. Where's the support? Not even optimized for iPhone X. ### 1/5 — Update NEEDED! *2018-09-11, version 1.0.1* Seriously, I am unable to update the firmware even! I can’t map anything on a new phone let alone use it for any games. I wish Apple wouldn't contract or partner with any unfulfilling 3rd party manufacturers. They show no signs of compassion for their own product. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother. *2018-07-12, version 1.0.1* Does not work. ### 1/5 — No updates for 2 years *2018-06-24, version 1.0.1* Not the best interface. No compatibility with Oculus go ### 2/5 — No firmware updates. No button mapping *2018-05-21, version 1.0.1* Can’t use this for Shadowgun Legends due to buttons being seen as different. A is swapped with Home for example. Even using remap in the game leaves me a button short as the L trigger is permanently mapped wrong. Same issue across installs on iPhone and iPad. ### 1/5 — What!!! *2018-02-10, version 1.0.1* Not sure if it even works or not! Please update the app. Where is the support for mapping switches to per the app its in. The Apple Remote is not that great. If this controller could be mapped per the app its used in than it could be used instead of the apple remote. Any the current app is real only good to show you if the controller is working. Every time I hit update it just freezes the update icon. Please update the app with more functionality. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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? ### 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 ### 1/5 — No update *2019-11-01, version 1.0.1* Waiting for updates ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — FORTNITE *2018-09-18, version 1.0.1* PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make this compatible with fortnite that’s the only reason I purchased the controller. ### 5/5 — Fortnite *2018-08-09, version 1.0.1* Please make capatable with fortnite! Otherwise great controller for iPhone and iPad. ### 5/5 — iOS10で問題なく使える最も安いMFiコントローラー *2016-11-04, version 1.0.1* AmazonなどのオンラインショップよりもAppleStoreの方が安い。6400円と消費税で購入できる。ファームアップデートもできるみたいだし、SteelSeries Stratusの用にiOS10になった途端使えなくなったりしないでほしい。 ### 5/5 — Get one try out. *2016-03-31, version 1.0* Work great on iPhone but need Apple TV 4 generation another work but ok. Fun games play. ### 5/5 — Fit for purpose *2016-03-03* Great to check the controller is working and to update the firmware. ### 4/5 — 1st!!...lol! *2016-01-14, version 1.0* Pretty bare bones honestly compared to the SteelSeries Nimbus Companion App (that app looks a lot more polished and gives you a list of all the games compatible with their controller, but it's also been out longer). At least they have an app that makes it easy to update the firmware on your controller, which is the most important part, and hopefully they'll keep updating their app to make it a little more polished and also include a list of compatible games. Now the tough part is to figure out which controller to get....the SteelSeries Nimbus or the Horipad Ultimate?? Fortunately, it looks like the Apple Store around these parts carries both of them so I'll have to drop in and test them out. ### 3/5 — 動かない *2018-05-05, version 1.0.1* アプリ内でアップデートしようとしたら、 フリーズするんだが‥‥ ### 3/5 — What’s happening? *2018-03-23, version 1.0.1* Used to up to date and supported by Apple now this product will not update and I see last update was a whole year ago? What’s happening Horipad? ### 3/5 — ？ *2016-10-21, version 1.0.1* HORIPAD WIRELESS は ファームウェアアップデートされないみたいです ### 2/5 — Firmware update *2020-01-10, version 1.0.1* The firmware update doesn’t seem to be downloading. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
