Review summary

Overall, many users report a generally reliable app that pairs quickly with supported hardware and provides deep customization. However, recurring issues include Bluetooth recognition problems and failed device registration, login/privacy hurdles, occasional crashes and slow performance, and intrusive permission requests. A subset also criticizes NFT/crypto branding and marketing. The app seems strong for some devices (Neo S, Nitro Deck, Atom) but reliability and privacy concerns are frequent themes in multiple reviews.

Pros

Works as advertised and pairs smoothly with supported hardware (Neo S, Atom), making setup quick.
Offers deep customization and tuning options (vibration, trigger sensitivity, button layouts, firmware updates).
Regular updates with new features and an integrated shop/manual that enhances usability.
Positive, reliable experience across multiple devices (Neo S, Nitro Deck, Atom) with good device support.

Cons

Forced login/account creation and privacy concerns, plus reports of login issues (e.g., auto-login with Google).
Frequent Bluetooth pairing/recognition problems and connection errors that prevent device registration.
App stability issues such as crashes, freezes, and long loading times.
Broad permission requests for screen recording, camera, microphone, and location, often without clear necessity.
Perceived NFT/crypto branding and rarity-focused marketing that feels out of place to many users.

2026-05-25	Cr*****	So I have to spend over $100 to buy a guitar controller that has app integration for some features, then I can only have access to those features if I create an account? If it was about adding value, it shouldn’t require a login. I’m not agreeing to your usage permissions and giving away my analytics data. Thanks but no thanks. Make it available without a login!

2026-02-22	Pi*****	I don’t understand the negative comments because my set up was easy and went smooth. Nice app for an ever nicer product! I love my atom controller/key chain!

2025-12-30	Gi*****	It asks for permission to record the screen and system audio; there is no rational reason for this permission whatsoever. It also asks for Bluetooth permission, even to register non Bluetooth devices. Not necessary but does allow the app to build a location profile! Don’t install this app it’s spyware.

2025-10-21	Co*****	I couldn’t even get past the login screen. I’m SO tired of apps forcing account creation just to access basic features. I want to interact with the product—not hand over personal information before I even know if it’s worth it.

2025-07-27	Me*****	To register a controller you need to have Bluetooth on and it asks you to turn it on, but even when it’s on the app doesn’t recognize it, which makes the app useless, please fix this

2025-06-26	to*****	Total garbage all. App doesn’t seem to work. I’ve turned on Bluetooth and paired it with my NEO S, but the app repeatedly gives a pop up saying turn on Bluetooth. There’s no work around. The app simply doesn’t even recognize the Bluetooth that it requires. So the whole process of tapping the iPhone to the back of the crkd controller to register the device is dead. The app cannot even recognize that the phone is connected via Bluetooth already.

2025-04-01	au*****	I tried to add one of my controller’s to my collection but it’s been stuck on the loading screen for about 5 minutes. I can’t tell if this is natural or a bug? If it’s a bug, please fix this.
