Top marks (needed app)

I am giving this app top marks as this was really, a needed app. I don’t use my controller much as I am not much into gaming. So this is handy as I don’t need to purchase a (almost impossible to find) compatible universal remote again.

Malheureusement pas de MAJ

GeForce NOW

Hello Nvidia, you know Free Membership I don’t like the Time Limit every time you play a game, on Xbox Cloud there’s no time limit, but I wish there’s no time limit on GeForce NOW
