### 2/5 — Not usable for games

*2025-12-04*

The app doesn‘t work in the background. The settings do not stay saved while playing a game.

### 3/5 — Ps5

*2024-01-11*

How can I connect my ps5 controller?? It’s not working

### 2/5 — Needs some work

*2023-10-22*

Can you incorporate the speaker? Also can you makee it to where you can use your settings and haptic in games such as Call of Duty Mobile

### 2/5 — Works I guess

*2023-07-19*

To be honest, I wish you could at least see that the buttons are registering, can’t even tell if a controller has stick drift two out of five stars very very basic

### 3/5 — Needs more for price

*2022-07-16*

Needs more features or a price drop

### 3/5 — Ok but needs work

*2022-06-23*

I like the app ok but it needs work.  The battery level doesn’t always indicate properly.  Sometimes it reads 25% no matter what the charge level is.

Also, I had to reinstall once because the display was goofy, aspect ratio was wrong and wouldn’t work at all until reinstalling.

### 4/5 — Saving the settings

*2022-03-21*

Hello! Everytime that I save the settings for my dualsense and move for the next setting the app is not saving my changes. Its reseting the settings alone.

I appreciate your reply.

### 4/5 — Works

*2022-03-07*

If you could include a test screen for all the controller’s functions such as highlights when buttons when pressed, including rotating sticks, it’d be make for a good all in one PS5 DualSense diagnostic app.  Also, please include landscape mode for iPad.

### 3/5 — 希望可以后台运行。

*2022-02-04*

我希望可以在后台使用板机健，比方我打FPS类型的游戏的时候使用到它。我觉得现在购买这个app的意义不大我不会向我的朋友们条件他。

I hope I can use the board machine in the background, and I use it when I play the FPS type game. I think it is not aware that I am buying this app now. I will not give me a friend.

### 3/5 — A little weak

*2022-01-11*

Probably my fault for not reading clearly, but I thought the app would be able to test the triggers. My thumbs usually break the sticks after like two weeks I was hoping to test it before I returned it to Best Buy. Like the other person said, kinda pricey just to change the light and vibrate the triggers. 

For the people that can’t get it to connect, like the dev mentions you have to hold the PS button and the share button at the same time. Share button is top left across from the start button.

### 3/5 — cool apps needs more modes like burst and add haptic and sounds

*2022-01-10*

cool apps needs more modes like burst and add haptic and sounds

### 4/5 — Great app, simple but still $2

*2022-01-02*

Excellent app that works really well and showcases the strengths of the Dualsense. Not sure why it has such low ratings (it does work well if you’re able to figure out Bluetooth), but $2 is a bit pricey for how little the app really does

### 1/5 — Didn't work defo big scam lads

*2026-08-02*

Update an it still sucks the vid I watched was prob just to make me buy it hope your happy with your 3 pounds

### 1/5 — Stolen money

*2025-06-11*

I feel like they stole my money because as soon as you start a game or log on it doesn’t remember any of your settings

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2024-12-07*

Sure you can play around but doesn’t allow you do actually keep them on when you reconnect to the ps5 to play. Useless

### 1/5 — scam app, possibly malware?

*2024-10-30*

once i downloaded the app and ran it my device noticeably begin running much slower until i got rid of it. the app didnt work as expected either which plays into this idea.

### 1/5 — App.

*2024-09-22*

Not able to get it to work so far. Not sure it is a real app.

### 1/5 — DON’T BUY OR PAY FOR IT!!!

*2023-07-04*

It’s worthless, don’t waste your money. It only checks for vibrations and no other thing, SPECIALLY the X/Y axis.
If you want the app for that reason do NOT buy it!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t remember settings; can’t set dead zones.

*2023-04-09*

I was able to connect and change some settings, but when I reconnected the same controller, it did not remember my previous settings. Also, I couldn’t find a way to increase the dead zone for trigger activation. My controller produces an input when I barely brush a finger against a trigger. It is way too sensitive for me. Many games have no way to adjust this, and I couldn’t figure out a way to adjust it with the app. The settings “vibration” “feedback” and “weapon” are confusing to me. I don’t know what they are actually doing.

### 1/5 — How does this app even work??

*2021-12-31*

I don’t understand this app. You can’t even connect to the remote or anything.

**Developer response:** Hey there, I've mentioned you can connect the controller through Bluetooth to change and mess around with the trigger effects

### 1/5 — Does not apply when playing on the ps5

*2021-12-30*

Wow. I thought this app would let you apply those settings to your console but when your playing it’s the same thing. Waste of money

**Developer response:** Hey there, I haven't mentioned anywhere that the settings will stay when connecting the controller back to the PS5

### 1/5 — Save your $2

*2021-12-29*

Plugged into my relatively new ps5 controller and it didn’t show up in app so

**Developer response:** Hey there, if you searched up how to connect a DualSense to a device you'd find many ways how to. The controller connects through Bluetooth.

### 5/5 — Good but more features?

*2023-06-10*

Good app and all but a idea for the app: motion control detection, touchpad, button testing

### 5/5 — 赞

*2022-11-27*

可以对ps5的手柄进行各项调整，价格合适，功能齐全

### 5/5 — It's perfect

*2022-11-20*

It's perfect and worth the money.

### 5/5 — Best Dualsense assist software on IOS

*2022-08-16*

Sir, can you develop a software that allows Dualsense to complete HD rumble with speakers in IOS? I will definitely buy it for the same price.

### 5/5 — C’est bien mais…

*2022-03-29*

Je trouve que cette application est bien pour tester la manette ps5 mais je voudrais que ce soit fonctionnel quand on quitte l’application

### 5/5 — 有中文就好了

*2022-02-05*

有中文就好了

### 5/5 — how to add permanent haptic feedback

*2022-01-26*

you‘ll need two devices for this to happen. :)
in my case: IPad (Xbox cloud Gaming) & Iphone 

1-connect the PS5 controller via Bluetooth with the IPad.

2-connect the PS5 controller with the Iphone using a CameraConnectionKit and open the App, set triggers to your liking or for a special purpose like playing a racing game or with a Bow in another game, prepare so to say. 

3-Start a Game or Xbox cloud gaming on the IPad, Running the App on Iphone utilizing the haptics and playing games with individual haptic trigger configurations. 

4-that’s the magic….if you disconnect the CCK while this App is Running it will save the haptics until the controller is disconnected from the IPad. 
this way you can use your phone for anything else. 

5- totally worth it.

### 5/5 — insane

*2022-01-23*

this app is insane please add more function and exemple for trigger (a gun)

### 5/5 — Great but one more thing

*2022-01-14*

Works great one more thing is that when you close the app it works on mobile games like cod, 1v1.lol

### 4/5 — Running on background support

*2024-03-25*

Just make it work after minimizing app
