## Description

Moonlight Game Streaming lets you play PC games and other apps from your gaming PC on your iOS device over your local network. It is open-source and free, supporting up to 4K HDR at 120 FPS, Bluetooth controllers, keyboard/mouse input, Wake-on-LAN, and local co-op for up to four players.

It works with NVIDIA GeForce Experience GameStream on supported GPUs or Sunshine for broader compatibility. Setup is simple: install GFE and enable GameStream, or install Sunshine and complete the first-time setup. A 5 GHz WiFi connection is highly recommended, and a physical gamepad improves performance.

## Review summary

Moonlight on iOS delivers strong streaming performance and broad device support, including high resolutions and solid controller capabilities. Repeated drawbacks across reviews include connectivity/discovery issues, lack of ongoing updates and feature parity with other platforms, external monitor/fullscreen limitations, and limited on-device input controls. When it works, it’s competitive with alternatives, but reliability and maintenance remain persistent concerns.

### Pros

- Excellent streaming quality with low latency across devices.
- Works out of the box and generally reliable when set up properly.
- Strong controller support and feature set on supported platforms.
- Broad cross-device compatibility (PC, iPad/phone, and other devices).
- Supports high resolutions and high refresh rates (up to 4K/144 Hz) on compatible hardware.

### Cons

- Connectivity issues and PC discovery problems; not reliably plug-and-play over Wi-Fi or cellular.
- Lack of updates and feature parity on iOS; app appears unmaintained compared with other platforms.
- External monitor/fullscreen limitations and stage-manager related display issues on iPad.
- Limited and non-customizable on-device controls; poor input options for typing, moving, and multitouch.
- Troubleshooting experience can be unfriendly; setup often requires fiddling to get working.
