There is so much potential here!

This app would be so good if the got rid of the white line under screen and settings left of screen. They are so distracting while trying to play
Game touchpad controls (iPhone), completely fail. In game, Bluetooth controller (8bitdo) completely fails. This isn’t really designed to work with a MacBook as a host at least as far as my experience goes. I modified every setting you can possibly find. I followed every recommended step available online twice over. Even wrote some custom code trying to get the MacBook to the input from the controller. It was a waste of time. Valve, you need to fix it or tell people that it isn’t compatible with MacBook M3

Has this weird green bar that won’t go away when I turn off controller button overlay
On macOS 26 it crashes a few seconds after starting a game, 100% of the time. It’s completely useless.
Steam
Slow, choppy and unresponsive.
This app works really well. One thing I will say is that latency is not quite good enough for first person shooters, but for other genres, it works pretty well. I would definitely recommend trying this out if you have a gaming PC it opens up a whole world of opportunities for games on the headset.
Every time I try to you the app, I need to reboot my computer and restart Steam or it won’t connect.
Of course the computer needs to be on lol. It does suck that there isn’t a way to turn on your pc remotely but you really just have to think ahead. Are you gonna want to play pc games on your phone in the next few hours? Call someone who lives at your house or turn off your PCs auto turn off timer 🤷🏻♂️

C’mon fellas, apple already did the foveated streaming protocol. Ask them kindly for the ARKit face tracking implementation and let the legend come to life.
Seria perfeito se não precisasse ambos os aparelhos estar na mesma rede wi-fi para usar!
well... My gosh My Lenovo Legion Go S running SteamOS (host) stereaming to iPad Raft by Axolot Games kept CRASHING! im never using it
Does not work properly and flickers
Valve have been updating this and it works pretty well with the virtual display installed. Now that its competitors are barely updated, valve is starting to take the lead.
w valve for this app steam link is so tuff if u guys could add wake on lan that would be tuff but it’s okay Ty anyway for this Picasso application
So much more useable and stable than moonlight.
When it’s working it’s awesome. I love the flexibility. Problem is it’ll randomly break or require reauthentication that you can’t do remotely which is a huge pain when you are on a trip trying to play your games.
I don’t know how but my pc was at New Mexico and i was in Houston to meet family i was there and i wanted to see if it would connect and It did work perfectly fine.
