User Reviews

BombSquad Remote is praised for its inventive use of phones as remotes, enabling inclusive local multiplayer and a fun, nostalgic party-game vibe. Many report smooth operation and easy PC setup. However, several reviews indicate it isn’t the full BombSquad game, with players wishing for the original title back and more iOS availability. Common issues include lag, crashes, black screens, and occasional disconnects, plus confusion about the app’s purpose. Overall, the concept is strong and enjoyable, but stability, platform availability, and expectations around a standalone game limit its appeal.

Pros

Innovative use of phones as remotes enabling inclusive local multiplayer with friends and family.
Smooth performance for many users and generally problem-free operation.
Fun, nostalgic party-game vibe with short, chaotic rounds.
Easy cross-platform setup, including quick PC installation.
Overall app quality praised; users consider it a strong, polished experience.

Cons

Not the full BombSquad game—many users want the original game back and see this as just a remote.
Recurring stability issues: lag, crashes, black screens, and inability to join games.
Platform availability concerns: calls for BombSquad to be on iOS App Store / direct iOS access.
Connection/disconnection problems with TVs/devices.
Confusion about the app’s purpose leads to misunderstandings.
