Review summary

Users appreciate the concept of GP Overlay as a customizable virtual controller for remote gaming, with some praising developer support and usability improvements over phone keyboards. However, many report issues such as frequent crashes, confusing and limited key mapping, lack of mouse movement support, and poor compatibility with Parsec and other streaming apps. Additionally, the app's expensive multiple paywalls frustrate users, who desire a more affordable and stable solution. Overall, while the app holds promise, it requires significant improvement in stability, usability, and pricing structure.

Pros

Allows creation and customization of virtual controllers for playing games remotely.
Good idea and initiative to enable portable gaming with customized controls.
Developer offers helpful support and is responsive to users.
Enables playing games on mobile devices when external controllers are not available.
Supports multiple larger buttons, improving usability compared to phone keyboards.

Cons

App is buggy and prone to crashes during usage.
Key mapping and binding system is confusing and unintuitive for many users.
Significant features are locked behind expensive paywalls with multiple separate payments.
Does not support essential functions like mouse movement simulation or joystick input properly.
Poor compatibility and stability when used with Parsec and cloud gaming platforms like GeForce Now.

2023-06-24	To*****	Great idea, terrible execution The free overlay system relies on keyboard like system to function meaning no typing in chat and no holding down buttons to move like properly, the advanced create appears to be very different and also more functional, i understand you need to make money but why not put some ads, make the advanced create free, keep the colors and textures behind the paywall and 6 buttons max And if you wanna go even further you could do 10 ads = 1 more button or something like that
