Does your controller drift, miss presses, or behave differently from one game to the next? MilliLog shows you exactly what it is sending. Turn every controller input into visible, measurable data. Watch buttons, sticks, triggers, the D-pad, touchpad, and gyroscope in real time, then record a millisecond-accurate log when you need evidence you can inspect or share. FREE TO DOWNLOAD Everything you need to check one controller is free: the live view, millisecond logs, sound feedback, and the React game with Game Center leaderboards. The free version never expires: no trial, no time limit, no ads, no account. DIAGNOSE CONTROLLER PROBLEMS • Spot stick drift and dead zones in the live stick view. • Catch missed, delayed, or unexpected inputs. • Check trigger travel, motion data, touchpad events, and battery level. • Hear inputs as they happen with optional sound feedback. NATIVE AND PRECISE MilliLog is built natively on Apple's GameController framework, with no web views or extra layers in between. Each button press is timestamped with the system's high-resolution clock the moment it reaches the app, before anything is drawn on screen. FULL VERSION: TEST MORE THAN BUTTONS One optional purchase unlocks the rest of the toolkit: • Vibration at the intensity you choose, on all motors or each handle. • Six haptic oscillator patterns: Fast, Medium, Slow, Step, Random, and Ramp. • DualSense adaptive trigger force on L2 and R2, with Constant, Weapon, Vibration, and Slope effects. • Light-bar color on supported controllers. • Several controllers at the same time, in the live view and the log. • React local multiplayer for up to four players. • Export logs as CSV or JSON for troubleshooting, QA reports, spreadsheets, or your own analysis. PLAY REACT Put your reflexes to the test in a built-in reaction game. Sign in to Game Center to submit your best times and streaks to the leaderboards. MilliLog works with controllers supported by Apple's GameController framework, including DualSense, DualShock 4, Xbox Wireless Controller, and many MFi-compatible gamepads. Made for developers, QA testers, repair technicians, hardware enthusiasts, and players who want answers before replacing a controller. Also available on Mac. The Full Version is a one-time purchase that covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac, works with Family Sharing, and can be restored at any time. Bought MilliLog before it became free? You already have the Full Version. No ads. No tracking. No subscriptions. One optional upgrade.

About

DriftPad

Features
Read full description

Your controller feels off. DriftPad tells you whether it really is broken — and gives you a dated report that proves it. Most controller testers just light up a button when you press it. DriftPad answers the question you actually opened the app for: is this controller healthy, and can I prove it — to a buyer, a seller, or a warranty desk? WHAT YOU GET • A clear verdict — Healthy, Needs attention, or Failing — instead of a wall of raw numbers • Stick drift measured beyond the dead zone that iOS applies before any app can see your stick • A dated evidence report, as a PDF or an image, that you can send to a buyer, a marketplace, or a support ticket • A test built from what YOUR controller reports — so even models released after this app work, with no update WHY THE REPORT MATTERS Selling a controller? Attach proof it works. Buying used? Ask the seller for it. Sent one back for repair? Compare before and after. Marketplaces ask for evidence of condition — but stick drift is behavior over time, and a photo can't capture it. DriftPad produces the document instead. WHAT IT TESTS • Buttons, D-Pad, thumbsticks, triggers, bumpers and system buttons — live, with a coverage counter so every input is proven, not just the first one you press • Stick drift beyond the system dead zone, with a plain-language verdict • Stick health: return-to-center (snapback), range, circularity and axis resolution • Trigger travel and trigger dead zone • Button mash, turbo and chatter detection • Vibration, haptics, adaptive triggers, LED light bar, motion sensors, battery and touchpad — where iOS exposes them, with DriftPad telling you exactly which your controller supports and which it doesn't • History and trends — compare any run against a saved baseline • An aim trainer for reaction and accuracy WORKS WITH ANY CONTROLLER iOS RECOGNIZES DriftPad builds each test from the inputs your controller reports at runtime — not from a hand-drawn picture of one model. So it keeps working with controllers released after this app shipped, no update required. Xbox Wireless (Series X|S, One) Ā· DualSense Ā· DualSense Edge Ā· DualShock 4 Ā· MFi controllers Ā· arcade sticks, and more. HONEST ABOUT THE LIMITS iOS applies its own dead zone to every stick before the values reach any app. Drift smaller than that floor is invisible to every app on the platform — including this one. So rather than pretend otherwise, DriftPad shows you where the floor sits and measures the drift that crosses it. It also tells you which features your specific controller exposes under iOS, so you never blame the app for a limit that belongs to the platform. DRIFTPAD PREMIUM The core tester is free. Premium adds the parts that prove it and go deeper: • Exportable evidence reports (PDF and image) • Advanced stick tests — snapback, range, circularity, axis resolution, trigger travel, event rate • Full history, trends and baseline comparison • Side-by-side comparison of two controllers Premium is a monthly or yearly subscription with a 7-day free trial, or a one-time lifetime purchase. The exact prices for your region are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. A subscription renews automatically unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. No account required. Nothing you test leaves your device. Terms of Use: https://zydeno.com/driftpad/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://zydeno.com/driftpad/privacy.html Support: support@zydeno.com
