2021-10-30	Ro*****	Bought this on one device and can't install it on another using the same account so I can play with two controllers on 2 devices. Totally not worth paying for this.

2021-09-22	Da*****	I use this app to connect the PS3 controller to my Honor 9 lite. The left stick (L3) is working fine. However, the rest of the other button are not working. I have followed the troubleshooting guide and restart the app a few times but with no results. Any suggestions?
