### 4/5 — Love it BUT…

*2026-05-23, version 1.3.6*

I love nexus and all that it is but PLEASE. I’m begging you all. Please enable controller support. Some of my games, I rely on controller vibration for if I’m taking damage, and it doesn’t work through nexus. That’s my only complaint though.

### 5/5 — Night and day !

*2026-02-15, version 1.3.6*

This app allows you to set the frame rate to 120fps which was the main limitation streaming over safari. And many more perks!  Well done developer , great job !

### 5/5 — Best app for Xbox remote play

*2026-01-31, version 1.3.6*

This browser plus its built in better xcloud is literally the best solution for Xbox remote play. Can’t believe it’s free.

### 5/5 — Controller support

*2025-12-28, version 1.3.5*

Please support the controller for the backbone pro!!

*2025-12-12, version 1.3.5*

Awesome browser for GeForce Now but we hopefully get 4K 120fps soon, to fully take advantage!

### 5/5 — W

*2025-12-07, version 1.3.5*

good update

### 5/5 — Best way to game on Cloud

*2025-12-06, version 1.3.5*

I use this for Xbox Cloud Gaming and it’s perfect. It’s even better now you can hide the menu by shaking the device.

### 5/5 — This is the best app for xcloud on iOS

*2025-12-05, version 1.3.5*

The developer quickly fixed the issues in version 1.3.3. Now you can hide the status bar and home bar in two ways: by pressing and shaking the device. However, when you shake the device, only the button is hidden; the status bar and home bar remain visible. Please fix this.

### 1/5 — Fix the bug

*2026-07-12, version 1.3.6*

The app was a 9/10 but ever since the bug on mobile Xbox cloud gaming bookmark where if u click a game it doesn't register and u can't play it it's very annoying and has been happening for a while. Please fix it

### 1/5 — No Documentation!

*2025-06-18, version 1.2.0*

There’s 0 documentation of how this browser works. No URL bar, no instructions, just bookmarks. Have to close and reopen the app to access the bookmarks. Once you go to a website, no way to pull the bookmarks back up or enable/disable mouse mode.

### 2/5 — Most games requiring Keyboard+Mouse are not working with GFN

*2026-05-25, version 1.3.6*

The app does work easily and when a game starts that needs the mouse, it’s fine. The problem is that most of the games I want to play using the mouse throw an exception telling me that the game is not available in my region … which is not the case! I can play them from my computer and the iPad is on the same network without any active VPN. So I don’t understand what is going on here! Hoping it’s something that can be easily fixed!! 🤞

### 2/5 — Good but some issues

*2025-12-24, version 1.3.5*

Rewriting my review.  As of a few days ago GeForce Now is no longer recognizing this “browser” as a desktop with mouse/keyboard support and will not let me launch games that don’t have controller support (like Guild Wars 2).  This oddly just started and I’m pretty sure it’s not tied to the most recent app update 2 weeks ago.  So I’m having to switch to another app for game streaming. Hopefully we can get an update on this and a fix for the Nexus+ app before my free trial expires on the other app, otherwise I’ll be switching app for streaming.

### 2/5 — GeForce Now

*2025-04-04, version 1.1.1*

There is some issues on the iPhone and iPad app where I get a small window and jittering around it. My display shrinks. I think this has to do with GeForce now only supports 720p on iOS and I select 1080p or 4K on my iPad Pro

### 2/5 — Five out of five high-quality application

*2024-02-28, version 1.0.5*

I originally downloaded this application so I could play video games on my Vision Pro. GeForce now allows me to play video games in 4K and the latency is actually negligible for me. Xbox game pass on the other hand only allows for 1080 P streaming. This is a game pass issue not a Nexus⁺ issue. Games are still playable on Xbox game pass, but you will have to compromise with a lower quality resolution.

I had a question and an issue and I emailed the developer I specifically was faced with a white screen and no content was loading after using the app since day one release . I resolved the issue by disconnecting from Wi-Fi and then reconnecting force closing the app did not work. The developer responded within five minutes and gave me suggestions to troubleshoot the issue.

I also had a question regarding GeForce login issues. If anyone else is having trouble typing in GeForce when you’re logging in there is a clipboard function that allows you to copy and paste straight from the application via each individual bookmark. It is possible to copy and paste from my Notes application as well for my email and password to login to my epic account, Microsoft account, Xbox account, etc.. This seems to be a G4shi issue and not an application issue. Thanks for the hard work and the prompt responses.

### 3/5 — Awesome for game streaming with controller

*2026-03-21, version 1.3.6*

It's great for using Geforce Now to stream games as you can do it in a higher quality than Safari, just wish mouse support worked as intended.

### 3/5 — Great potential but with an annoying bug

*2026-02-04, version 1.3.6*

Does almost everything I need it to, but the aspect ratio keeps changing when playing STW when going from lobby to game and game to lobby, I have to rotate the iPad every time to get rid of it. If they fix that, then it’s almost perfect. Just needs to let you set Xbox “play” as the start page, so I don’t have to manually navigate there every single time I open this app.

Also, please make this an Apple TV app.

*2025-12-22, version 1.3.5*

I love using this but it would be 5 stars if it gave backbone controller support. It would make playing games top tier.

### 5/5 — Xcloud

*2026-07-23, version 1.3.6*

This app gives you controllers for any game if you get it set up truly a gem!

### 5/5 — A solid app for streaming my games

*2026-05-27, version 1.3.3*

I really enjoy using this app for my overall gaming on my Apple Vision Pro. I hope at some point we can see 2D to 3-D spatial conversion for gameplay. Currently the Portal app supports this. Would be a cool feature to have.

### 5/5 — Great stuff

*2026-05-18, version 1.3.6*

Has almost all the features I need without a monthly fee or any nonsense. Can’t figure out how to get controller vibration working unfortunately.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-05-14, version 1.3.6*

I use this with Xbox cloud

### 5/5 — On The Go

*2026-05-13, version 1.3.6*

Perfect for traveling, at work, in the car(if your not driving of course), whenever. It’s better if your on WiFi, but data works you might DC every now and then!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-05-11, version 1.3.6*

Fantastic that this offers for free what some other apps charge for! Only feature request I have is more flexible mouse capture support. Works fantastic in GeForce now, but (and I’m sure I’m the only user…) vAmigaWeb doesn’t capture the mouse when you enable ‘mouse’ as one of the joystick options - would be cool if it worked

### 5/5 — Fantastic app omg lov it

*2026-04-23, version 1.3.6*

this has extensions go into the bookmark settings for full screen options yay thank u. You are a god send!!!!

### 5/5 — Finally - Xbox Cloud Streaming Done Right

*2026-04-20, version 1.3.6*

I’ve been using Nexus+ for Xbox Cloud Gaming and it’s been an amazing experience. The app runs incredibly smooth, with minimal lag and a really clean, distraction-free interface that makes streaming feel seamless. It handles browser-based cloud gaming better than anything else I’ve tried on iOS.

What really stands out is the stability — sessions stay consistent, controls respond well, and it just works without constant tweaking. It honestly feels like having a portable Xbox in your pocket.

If you’re into cloud streaming and want a reliable, polished app to use it on iPhone or iPad, this is easily a 5-star choice. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Best way for xbox cloud gaming

*2026-04-03, version 1.3.6*

The borderless ability of this browser make it the only logical choice for xbox cloud or remote gaming. 5 stars from me

### 5/5 — Xbox cloud play

*2026-03-31, version 1.3.6*

Best for Xbox cloud play , thnx
