Know whether your controller needs attention in about a minute. Gamepad Doctor guides you through a focused controller check and turns normalized input from iOS into a clear, conservative report. Every controller test is free. Unlock Full Diagnosis once to see exact measurements, per-component results and the shareable report. If you already bought Gamepad Doctor, Full Diagnosis is included at no extra cost. TEST THE CONTROLS THAT MATTER • Check both sticks for center offset and jitter • Measure range, edge coverage and circularity • Verify buttons, D-pad, shoulders and stick clicks • Exercise analog triggers through full press-and-release cycles • Confirm touchpad and vibration when supported • Check motion sensors with a live 3D controller when supported • Review a clear component-by-component result TRAIN YOUR AIM • Targets drift across the screen — aim with the right stick, fire with the right trigger • Sixty seconds, with targets growing faster, smaller and more numerous • Score, accuracy, average time to target and overshoot, with your best score kept on device • The countdown before a run is also a stick check, so a drifting stick shows up before it costs you a match • Free, with no purchase prompt anywhere in it BUILT AS A FOCUSED UTILITY • Hardware tests work offline • No account • No ads • No subscription • Anonymous usage statistics only — never tied to you, never used for tracking Gamepad Doctor supports compatible extended controllers exposed through Apple’s GameController framework. Available tests depend on the capabilities reported by the connected controller and iOS. Gamepad Doctor diagnoses input delivered by iOS. It does not repair controllers, update firmware, change calibration or modify dead-zone settings in games. Controller testing and report preparation run entirely on your device and remain available offline.
