What Players Are Saying
Real feedback from gamers who've tried QR Controller.
If you are missing controllers to have more players in your local multiplayer games, this is the app for you! Highly recommended even if it's quite new. Dev is receptive and also very helpful in DC.
Works great! Had a bunch of friends play some party games, no setup required and everything worked flawlessly. The low latency over an internet connection is really impressive as well
Amazing! It lets you use your phone as a controller and includes gyro support. It makes it possible to play racing games, even sim racing titles! For sim racers who don’t have a racing wheel or can’t use one like me who can't go home often, I honestly think this is a better option than a controller. It runs very smoothly with almost no noticeable latency! This app is ABSOLUTE CINEMA
Its a great app, i have tested it with only 2 people and it worked flawlessly, i was going to bring up a bug in the discord about modifying the controller but someone beat me to it and the devs fixed it immediately so im impressed. i dont know about online usage but for Lan its seems like the perfect application, I'm definitely going to try play with 6 or more people and will update the review but for now if you are looking for a good way to play party games with multiple people this is it. Obviously i will point out that it is very hard to play alot of games with this type of controller. i have played and tested Make Way and Unrailed 2 and its good for these style games.
