User reviews

Users generally find the GameSir hardware controllers effective for mobile gaming, especially with native support titles. However, the companion Android app faces persistent issues including frequent crashes, complicated and unreliable mapping features, account registration troubles, excessive permission requests, and poor stability post-updates. Many users express frustration with lack of robust support and bug fixes, making the app feel incomplete despite the controller's good performance. The learning curve and usability are also noted problems, though those who master mapping tend to have better experiences.

Pros

Supports extensive button mapping for better control customization.
Works well with games that have native controller support like Genshin Impact and Call of Duty Mobile.
Controller hardware itself is generally well-received and functional.
App allows switching button layouts (e.g., Xbox style), aiding compatibility.
Custom mapping is possible and can enhance gameplay once set up correctly.

Cons

App suffers from frequent crashes and software bugs, especially after updates.
Mapping features are unintuitive, difficult to navigate, or sometimes non-functional.
Users face problems registering or logging into the app, including issues with email code verification.
High and sometimes unnecessary permission demands raise privacy concerns.
Connection and recognition issues with various devices and controllers occur often.
App overlay and screen mapping may interfere with simultaneous touch screen input.
Firmware updates and remapping functions often fail or cause controllers to stop working.

Not intuitive, but fully functional. I will admit that I am historically not a Mobile player. I game on PC and a plethora of consoles. But there were a couple of games I wanted to try and I am not partial to the on screen controls as they are 'touch-and-go' (depending on phone real estate). Being able to map 90% or so was essential and this app 'gets it done'.

The application appears to have a software defect. This conclusion is based on the fact that when the application unexpectedly closed on my new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, a message appeared indicating that the closure was due to a bug in the application. The message further prompted me to update the application in order to resolve the issue.
