Description
Backbone turns your iPhone and iPad Mini into the ultimate gaming device.

■ Play any game or service that supports game controllers.

The Backbone One controller works with services like PS Remote Play, Xbox Game Pass (xCloud), Apple Arcade, Xbox Remote Play, Google Stadia, and Amazon Luna.

It also works with games like Call of Duty: Mobile, Minecraft and Genshin Impact.

Press the Backbone Button to bring up the app and launch into your favorite games that support controllers from one place. 

■ Record, edit, and share epic gaming clips

Backbone One has a built-in Capture button that allows you to easily screen record or screenshot gameplay and share directly to social platforms like Instagram Stories and iMessage, all directly from your mobile device.

■ Never miss a moment

Hold the Capture Button to bookmark a moment when recording. Forgot to bookmark? Once a video is captured, Backbone’s app helps you identify your most action-packed moments automatically, allowing you to show off your best moments and highlights with ease.

■ Party with your friends

With Backbone’s Rich Presence feature, you can get push notifications when your friends start playing games on Backbone, making it easy to join the action in real-time. Once you see a friend online, you can link up for voice chat inside the app and move from game to game, seamlessly.

Great, but……

Great way to consolidate games into one location, but forcing you to subscribe to backbone+ (more than once) is just flat out annoying. I get you can cancel it right away but it seems a bit predatory.

App should be completely optional.

You don’t have to install this app to use your backbone, but it will ask you to install it every time you plug it in and every time you hit one of several face buttons. Make it completely optional and maybe I’d buy a backbone again. But probably not.

Predatory subscription

Surprised this app made it past review and is available in the store. To get anywhere in the app, even the free, required features like calibrating your hardware analog stick, you are FORCED to accept their free trial with automatic renewal of $40. Very sleazy practice, apparently by a very greedy company. Hardware alone was $100, but apparently that's not enough. Considering returning my controller on principle, someone else will make something better soon enough.

Amazing.

My Backbone just arrived and so far I love the quality of it. At first I was worried because I had to take off my phone case to get it to fit, but then shortly realized it came with alternate clips to fit with a phone case. The app is well designed too. It’s good for finding all of the good games that work with the controller. I only wish that you could disable some things (eg I don’t have Xbox) and prevent them from showing up or hide games you aren’t interested in.

If you don’t pay no support

90 days after that it won’t work without a subscription.

Good controller just one issue

So I got the backbone as a gift from my grandma, it works well just the one issue is the app. The app is good in all, it’s just the subscription, it’s the fact that it’s required in order to use the app and the app is required for firmware updates. Please make the subscription an option. I’m sure I’m not the only one with this issue.
