CHECK YOUR CONTROLLER • Measure stick centering, jitter, range and circularity. • Check buttons, D-pad, shoulders, stick clicks and analog triggers. • Test touchpad, motion and vibration when supported by your controller and iOS. SAVE REPORTS AND RECORDS Keep diagnostic reports and game records on your device. Reopen past reports and compare your own results. Hardware tests work offline. No account is required. PRACTICE WITH THREE GAMES • Single Aim: aim at targets with a stick and fire with the trigger. • Double Aim: pop colored balloons with both sticks and triggers. • Finger Game: follow numbered circles on the touchscreen. Three lives cover the whole course, and pauses count toward your total time. FREE TESTS AND CLEAR OPTIONS Every hardware test and game run is free. Full Diagnosis is a one-time purchase that unlocks all diagnostic reports and removes ads. Customers who bought the original paid app retain full access. When available, you can choose to watch an ad to unlock one report. When advertising is enabled, games may show an ad break after a completed run. The result opens automatically after the ad closes, or if the ad is unavailable or fails. Ads require an internet connection, and availability may vary. For compatible controllers supported by Apple's GameController framework. Features depend on the controller and iOS. Gamepad Doctor does not repair controllers, update firmware, change calibration or modify game dead zones.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Brailliant Sync at none against Gamepad Doctor's 1. Brailliant Sync also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.2 vs 17.0). Gamepad Doctor's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
