### 3/5 — Backbone support

*2026-08-01, version 1.0.2265*

It seams so obvious to anyone who's done research on mobile gaming controllers to ADD BACKBONE CONTROLLER SUPPORT! 😪

Please add controller support e.g. backbone one

### 2/5 — Can't bypass this

*2026-05-25, version 1.0.2245*

Every time I open the app all it says is : "Play a GameNight game" and that's the only thing I can do

### 2/5 — Good, but….

*2026-05-21, version 1.0.2245*

Good app, but the app got stuck on the Luna game night and is now unusable. Even after attempting multiple things it still refuses to go off of that screen

### 1/5 — Plus rien ne marche

*2026-05-07*

Une mise à jour d’urgence impossible de se connecter en manette virtuel

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2026-04-23*

Tried a few of the most popular games, constant different errors crashes etc. final game, couldn’t get phone controller to connect. Tried multiple phones, tried Xbox controller. Kept trying different ways but absolutely no joy

### 1/5 — boring

*2026-04-20*

its horrible like the QR codes are refusing i played it yesterday it was working today geuss what

### 3/5 — iPad Limitations

*2026-04-14, version 1.0.2245*

Does not allow you to connect the controller to the iPad. Would give five stars if it enabled you to connect to iPad.

### 1/5 — Ridiculous change in policy

*2026-04-10, version 1.0.2245*

Bought EA games and now longer able to access

*2026-03-30, version 1.0.2245*

I can’t scan the QR code so this app is dead in the water.

### 1/5 — I tried to play wobbly life

*2026-03-21, version 1.0.2245*

It didn’t connect the QR code on my television

### 2/5 — its horrible playing fallout with phone as a controller

*2026-03-20, version 1.0.2245*

i tried changing settings but doesnt help, aiming is so twitchy itll go slow then zip way past the target, i wish you could put the axis pads to the top of the screen so it doesn't stress my thumbs constantly, i cant afford a luna controller atm but i want to try one, in the long run itll prob just be better to buy a new xbox system

### 1/5 — No config options

*2026-03-18, version 1.0.2245*

Received a broken controller and was trying to find ways to troubleshoot and fix it. No options were available. Had to return the controller and get a refund. This app was completely useless in anyway towards fixing it or giving troubleshooting options, should your controller not function.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht

*2026-07-31*

iPhone 15 pro, es kommt die Meldung direkt zu Beginn: drehe dein Gerät um weiter zu spielen. Egal wie man rs hält man kommt gar nicht erst weiter sodass ich es nicht mal ausprobieren konnte. Schwache Leistung, taugt aus meiner Sicht nichts

### 1/5 — Account creation

*2026-07-24, version 1.0.2265*

Didn’t let me create account

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-07-01, version 1.0.2265*

Not only could I not get it to work but it asks for an alarming amount of data and you have to have an account. Worse than a waste of time because now these skeezes got some free data out of me too

### 1/5 — Not working I keep getting invalid codes

*2026-06-25, version 1.0.2265*

Not working I keep getting invalid codes

### 1/5 — Backbone Support Please!

*2026-06-14, version 1.0.2265*

Please support backbone controllers so that I can use my phone as my gaming console for Luna and the controller to play games! Would make you much cooler Amazon!

### 1/5 — I wished that I could give 0 stars

*2026-06-09, version 1.0.2245*

I tried to connect my controller and the QR code does not work. My controller is no good right now. They need to fix this. ASAP!!!!

Es geht einfach nicht weder mit meinem noch mit dem Handy meines Mannes 😑

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-05-28, version 1.0.2245*

Controller won’t connect at all. Not in the app or the QR code for the online controller

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-05-15, version 1.0.2245*

The website tells me I have to download this app before I can play games. The app tells me I have to scan a QR code before I can get in. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO, WITH MY IPAD, SCAN A STUPID QR CODE THATS ON MY IPAD!? AND IT WOULDNT EVEN HAVE WORKED ANYWAY, BECAUSE WHEN I BORROWED MY DADS PHONE,IT DIDNT WORK BECAUSE APPARENTLY IT ONLY WORKS IF YOU HAVE 16.0 OR LATER don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2026-06-26, version 1.0.2265*

I like playing hot wheels on Luna

### 5/5 — Can’t beat this one

*2026-04-09*

Seriously? I have one of the original releases of this controller and it’s outdone both my Xbox X controller and the PS5 controller. No stick drift, the buttons don’t get stuck, and it’s dropped a fair amount of times. My parrot couldn’t break it. 🥰

### 5/5 — I love it

*2026-04-04*

It’s soooooo good I play it with my mum and my sister and we enjoy it so much

### 5/5 — Old Boomer Dude

*2026-03-10, version 1.0.2245*

No one will believe this, but I am 70 years old, highly trained, highly educated and I don’t know how to play video games. I’m trying to play Luna on my TV. I’ve got the controller. With

*2026-02-01, version 1.0.2216*

The technology is so great that I can continue my childhood gaming, from where I left off. it so easy to setup and works flawlessly. Just buy the Luna controller for 40$ and have good fiber internet connection.You can play so many PS, XBOX and PC games, all through you smart tv.
