Luna Controller Reviews

Downloaded LunaController so my son could play Sonic Mania, only to experience exceptional disappointment as the lag makes a game like Sonic unplayable.

But honestly, I never had any expectations for Luna (Stadia vibes), so saying I was disappointed is not entirely accurate.

If I could give LunaController -5 stars, I would. Just use the crappy fire stick instead; same result without draining your phone battery.

Having different controller options would be good. The backbone was an expensive controller, and for the very limiting Apple iPhone at that. So adding Backbone controller support would be a good option as I would be able to use your cloud services anywhere without bringing around a huge clunky controller and potentially dropping a $1000 phone. Please consider.

Thought that I could help heal my inner child by finally finishing playing this game but the quality is so horrendous it makes me want to break my phone in half. Didn’t work terrible for the first day now third day in feels like I’m using McDonalds wifi to power this. Thank you for piling on 👍🏽👍🏽

It says that it’s a mobile controller, but you need a controller connected to your phone. I thought that you could just connect the mobile controller to the TV so that me and somebody can play. But you need a controller and I don’t get it because if you need a controller, why do you need your phone? It doesn’t make sense to me at all.

This controller is consistent when it comes to staying disconnected. It baffles me that which each update, the random dropouts keep increasing and you have to go back to the desktop screen before LunaController registers the controller again. I end up using my computer keyboard most of the time since this junk almost never works

I used to have the Luna service but got rid of it after a few months I just didn’t have the time to enjoy it as much as I would have liked to. My Luna controller never seems to update its firmware on its own it has taken me months to figure out how to get it done because the instructions I keep getting say the controller updates when connected to LunaController on my phone. This never happens I finally found instructions on how to reset my controller then add it back through LunaController and the firmware updated finally. I have not been able to use either one of my Luna controllers for months because I hate playing wired in. I have pets that will get tangled up in the cords because when you play wired in you also have to play with headphones. This should be an option that can be turned off in the controller app.

On the introductions it says get LunaController to play on the cloud but I don’t know where that is. Bluetooth doesn’t work with Xbox or PlayStation and it doesn’t work with my phone. It connects but what’s the point if it doesn’t work. Why buy a 60$ controller if you need to pay 6$ a month to even use the controller and LunaController doesn’t even exist! Please fix these issues.

The controller and app work fine over WiFi. But it doesn’t work at all if you don’t have WiFi available. LunaController appears to detect my controller, though there is no language on LunaController that says “controller connected” which would be a big help for troubleshooting. But the Luna games do not recognize the controller on iPad Pro unless both are connected to WiFi.

At this point, until this feature is fixed, Luna is a ripoff.

I’ve reset the controller. Deleted and renown loaded LunaController . “Forgot the device” on Bluetooth. Restarted the controller. Restarted the iPad. No dice. 2018 IPad Pro with BT 5.0 and iOS 14.6.

Was a bit painful setting up. Something like this should take 5 min max, not 20. Instructions don't explain all the settings you need on your device e.g. your phone before you get started. Don't know why I need location services on to "locate my wifi network". I've never had any app, device, whatever that needed location services to find my network. This should be much easier.

Love the ability to connect directly over Wi-Fi. But that only helps me when I’m at home. But I have consoles for that so I need something portable, on my phone, where there is no Wi-Fi. When connected, it limits using the controller on iOS to only games on Luna. NO GAMES NATIVELY ON YOUR IPHONE/IPAD WILL WORK WITH THIS CONTROLLER. Please fix this compatibility issue as it’s not the case with other operating systems.

The play isn’t too terrible for what your playing on. I'm relatively surprised at how Well it works on something that fits in the palm of my hand.

So No it is not perfect but it is playable.

Chat feature works but they have a major Miss on not allowing the bluetooth feature to tap into the headset microphone it doesn't even have the option. Ive made a formal complaint? But it didn’t gets fixed in the last update. Reach out to them and ask for this fix, help me, help luna, make this better, Ill be glad to post an update when this is fixed.

The reason why I’m giving this three stars is because Luna needs to update their app. I can’t even access it because it’s broken and too many bugs. They last updated it 2 months ago and that’s too long. Luna PLEASE READ MY REVIEW AND UPDATE YOUR APP. I got the controller but I can’t even access LunaController to connect it so currently the stupid controller is useless. Please fix these Bugs so I can use the controller.

Overall “Luna” is a cool concept . It looks like it has nice games as well. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to sync the mobile controller up to my fire stick on the tv. LunaController isn’t working at all. There is no sign of connection neither are there any instructions .

Which I thought was pretty weird. Cause why make an app and it can’t be utitlized to play the game on your tv? They need to speak with the developers and fix this issue! I couple t get pass the press start to continue screen, which was very disappointing.

I can’t get Anbernic Linux to finish pairing on the Luna app. I have tried everything. It should work. Sometimes it saves only as a MAC address in LunaController but most times after Linux says success and saves, the controller never completes it

Maybe the Luna controller is *”on par with other game controllers “ but I was trying to get LunaController version of the controller to connect with my tv and it seemed like it was not ever going to work . Either these Luna people need to make their controller app work properly or I’m going to not use the Luna app on my smart tv.

The whole setup takes roughly 2 minutes to finish. LunaController overall really did its job well!

App crashed on opening n so far isee no customer support to help with this issue…. I so interested until i came across this situation.. no thank!

LunaController is quick and to the Point . The wizard are easy to understand and helpful.

App is easy to use. Have all the features, which are simple. Also, LunaController runs smoothly. Love it, keep it up.

Worked for me, connected the controller to LunaController and it connected to the tv and the Luna app on my tv just fine.

I had no issues so far. Happy how easily it connected. Good controller. I have high hopes with the Luna service.

I’m going to try this as my Stadia replacement but I hope they change their subscription model. I wish their was a subscription for all the games instead of just groups. I wish we could unsubscribe as easily as we can subscribe to a game playlist. I hope Luna could release their app to the LG Store.

LunaController is great! Easy to use and set up is quick with detailed and helpful instructions.

I’ve had this fire stick and controller set up for a couple years and have loved it. I’m not a huge gamer and play occasionally. But I also travel and stay in hotels quit a bit. Always bring my fires stick to watch my movies and now bring my controller to play on my down in hotel rooms and at home.
