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

Its ok

It’s an ok app. Nothing special

App doesn’t work anymore

App doesn’t work, will not connect to shield despite entering IP address.

Needs to be fixed by developers.

Basically useless

As a remote control, the lack of any tactile buttons makes this app painful to use, but the fact that it disconnects every minute or 2 is what really makes this infuriating to use. It used to include a handy “find my remote” feature that was great if you lost the remote control, but the devs brilliantly decided to remove that one thing that this app WAS good for. Now it’s just more useless junk on your phone stealing your data. Avoid this at all costs.

Faulty app or update

App works 40% of the time, the rest it will go back to the shields Home Screen after pressing the the screen on my phone and I have to then reset the shield by unplugging it for 10 seconds and plugging it back in! Rather annoying due to the shield being in a media cupboard that’s not easily accessible
