### 5/5 — Неплохо

*2026-08-11*

Пожалуйста добавьте проверку динамика, микрофона и ревизию геймпада для Dualsense

**Developer response:** Спасибо за отзыв и предложения! Проверка динамика и микрофона DualSense, а также более подробная информация о геймпаде уже есть в нашем списке задач. Мы планируем добавить эти возможности в одном из следующих обновлений SensePad.

### 3/5 — I need to view the click history to test my click speed

*2026-05-15*

How do I test my click rate? For example, how many clicks can I make in 10 seconds

**Developer response:** Thanks for the suggestion. SensePad doesn’t have a click-rate test yet, but I plan to add a timed button press test in a future update.

### 1/5 — SensePad:Gamepad Tester

*2026-04-22*

I want the led to be free.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. SensePad includes a 3-day free trial, so you can still use LED testing and all other Premium features to check your controller.

### 4/5 — i have a request

*2026-02-06*

this would be a goated app, if you guys can make this as a remote play controller completely.

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot for the suggestion!
That’s a really cool idea. Right now SensePad is focused on controller testing and diagnostics, but we love hearing how people would like to use it.
We really appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us!

### 3/5 — Haptic

*2026-01-24*

Please i need to test my haptic

### 1/5 — Just another app trying to get u to subscribe and forget

*2026-01-23*

App sucks locks everything behind a paywall they’re hoping you forget so they suck the money out of you just another cheap tactic to grind as much money out of your wallets grimy and filthy something so simple should just be free

**Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
We understand your frustration and want to clarify that SensePad offers free access to core testing features, along with a trial to explore everything before subscribing.

The subscription helps support ongoing development, improvements, and new features.
We never want users to feel misled, and we appreciate all feedback as it helps us improve.

### 3/5 — Only one free thing

*2025-12-30*

One free thing? Get more free things so we can mess around with the controls on the controller

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback!  
You can try all premium features for free during the trial and really explore how your controller behaves. More free options are something we’re considering too 👍
