### 4/5 — Not bad app

*2025-12-02, version 5.0.4*

It’s a okay app never did get my 3 months tho of Apple Arcade! Controller doesn’t support iPhone 17 pro max which is a bummer other then that not bad.

### 4/5 — Amazing…

*2025-11-27, version 5.0.4*

$200 for this and no vibration for iOS support. That’s crazy. But Kishi XL runs amazing on my iPad 11 streaming from my gaming PC with Moonlight and Apollo. Definitely best controller out there though.

### 3/5 — Needs Grid View of My Games

*2025-11-24, version 5.0.4*

Like the app but won’t use it to launch games until there is a grid view that is sortable.

### 3/5 — Update

*2025-11-08, version 5.0.4*

Needs an update for iOS 26

### 2/5 — I love the controler it to get games on the app is hard and it takes forever

*2025-10-16, version 5.0.3*

What I said in the title

### 3/5 — Поворот экрана

*2025-07-26, version 5.0.2*

Приложение работает лишь в одной ориентации, невозможно повернуть экран сверху вниз

### 3/5 — It’s good but,

*2025-06-29, version 5.0.1*

A minor problem, sometimes the Mac end doesn’t detect it is plugged in. Firmware updates haven’t completely fixed this issue.

### 5/5 — Cool

*2025-06-17, version 5.0.1*

Awesome

### 1/5 — Suck

*2026-08-15, version 5.0.5*

Suck

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-07-14, version 5.0.5*

Garbage

### 1/5 — Severely limited

*2026-02-27, version 5.0.4*

Don’t make the same mistake I did when you drop 270 bucks on a razor iPad controller only to find that basic functionality like vibrate doesn’t work on iPad, despite being marketed as compatible. Super super disappointing. Don’t make the controller purchase if you’re thinking about using it for apple, hopefully it’s not too late for you, unlike me.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-11-04, version 5.0.4*

Its just not functional on ipad as it is on my galaxy. I understand it cant have touch mapping but it doesnt show any info or background in my games and cant even launch them it just makes you open it from app store.

### 1/5 — Нет доступа к дистанционной игре

*2025-09-28, version 5.0.3*

Я не смог добавить компьютер для удалённой игры.
Авторизация и в приложении Nexus и в программе Cortex.
Просто нет компьютера в списке.
Видимо не судьба играть дистанционно. Может разработчик даст рекомендации.
Ведь на сайте указано, что при авторизации на ПК и на смартфоне/планшете должна произойти автоматическая синхронизация

### 1/5 — Not too much game can use it

*2025-09-22, version 5.0.3*

Those games which is can use this game handmade even older than me. ……. Very ridiculous.

### 1/5 — fairly unreliable

*2025-08-09, version 5.0.2*

yes, there will always be apps that aren’t compatible with the associated controller, but in the case of this product, the controller (or more specifically, the app itself), tends to somehow crash in specific ways;

every 10% below 100% battery level, the app and controller stop responding to player input,m (no, it does not disconnect etc, it just stops reponding until physically disconnected)

with some games, the controller will lock the joystick controls in a certain direction *long enough* to cause a ‘game over’ or some other expensive mistake.

in conclusion, there ARE *better* controllers with more reliable associated apps that don’t crash or disconnect mid-gaming session!

### 1/5 — Disconnects

*2025-07-14, version 5.0.2*

Keeps disconnecting and not auto detecting the Kishi pro xl on my iPad. The only reason I downloaded the app for it is so I wouldn’t have to keep reattaching the controller.

### 1/5 — Oyunlar takılıyor

*2025-06-29, version 5.0.1*

Ne yaptıysam çözemedim. Oyunlara girince oyunlar takılarak çalışıyor ve oynanmıyor kesinlikle. Razer kishi ultra aldım ama pişman oldum. Bir daha razer ürünü almayı düşünmüyorum!

### 1/5 — Virtual Control

*2025-06-03, version 4.5.1*

Virtual control option to iphone 16 pro max is not appearing..i cannot remap

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-02-21, version 5.0.4*

I can launch all my games from one app, making my phone look clean and tidy instead of having every game on the Home Screen

### 5/5 — I love it and it makes me play sonic games

*2026-01-20, version 5.0.4*

5 Star review

### 5/5 — Solution

*2025-11-04, version 5.0.4*

Nexus Is solution for full screen playing games from Xbox Cloud Gaming. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Razer Nexus Review

*2025-10-19, version 5.0.3*

Very easy to use and nice game suggestions

### 5/5 — App perfetta, con una piccola mancanza

*2025-10-01, version 5.0.3*

L’app è stabile e funziona veramente bene, la uso con un razor kishi v3 pro, anche se purtroppo manca una funzione che renderebbe l’app veramente completa: la possibilità di avere diversi profili di gioco. Ora, io lo so che lo si può fare dalle impostazioni di Apple, però sarebbe carino poter avere dei profili customizabili anche per la sensibilità di grilletti e joystick, che dalle impostazioni di sistema non si possono modificare. Al di là di questo, l’app è stabile e fa egregiamente il suo lavoro.

### 5/5 — Apple TV - Please! Great app

*2025-09-28, version 5.0.3*

Great app, best implementation of moonlight/sunshine for streaming with automatic optimizations. I only wish I could stream to my Apple TV! Ya’ll have no app there! Please add support 😅

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2025-09-21, version 5.0.3*

Sup!  I just bought the gaming thing today 
Bro no words! Just perfect!
Buy this instead of buying the Nintendo Switch!
Love this! Buy it!!!!!!!!

*2025-06-30, version 5.0.2*

I love it

### 5/5 — Works the way it should

*2025-06-19, version 5.0.1*

No bugs I’ve come across with the Ultra it’s a good app. Let’s hope they continue to support it
