## Description

## Review summary

The Nebula Connect Android app is valued for its remote-control role and overall device usefulness when it functions, but is hampered by persistent keyboard/input accessibility issues, 3-button mode input limitations, and frequent stability problems. Compatibility with certain devices (e.g., X1 Pro) and missing power-off controls are common complaints. Users also request practical enhancements like an auto-focus button. Overall sentiment is mixed: the app works well at times, but reliability and UI access remain the primary pain points across multiple reviews.

### Pros

- App serves as a convenient remote control replacement for the capsule and is used daily by some users.
- When it works, the Nebula Capsule app enables solid performance for indoor/outdoor viewing and overall device usefulness.
- Users engage with the app and request features like an auto focus button, showing ongoing interest in improvements.

### Cons

- Keyboard/text input is frequently inaccessible or hidden behind the UI, making typing difficult or impossible (input bar not reachable, 3-button mode issues).
- Device compatibility/connectivity problems with X1 Pro and other devices; some devices won’t connect or aren’t listed as supported.
- App instability/crashes or it won’t start (crashing on home screen, won’t open).
- Missing power-off control in the app (no way to turn off the projector from the app).
