GameGlass

iPhone X, iPhone 11, iPad 4, Elite dangerous don’t work at all ! Always Snap error, all the time :(

Please add Russian language)

I came into this app thinking it would be a great addition to Star Citizen. I thought it would work as a copy of the MFD’s on the ship. TLDR it’s not. The biggest drawback is that the app only does one-way communication from your tablet to your game, not the other way around. This means you wouldn’t get any information, like about any enemy ship you have targeted or the status of your quantum drive. The app simply serves as touch-buttons. (Or you get/make a “shard” which is a layout of buttons, but know what I mean) The app does show some information, depending on the buttons you have pressed on the app (landing gear, power triangle, mining mode). But if you change anything using your keyboard or on another iPad, that information is no longer in sync. This is similar to when you adjust your AC with the LCD remote, and the temperature is shown on the remote, but if you adjust on the AC itself, the information on the remote is now out of sync. In the future I would like to see two-way communication on the app. Then it will REALLY shine!

Getting it to work with my iPad was a chore and required several messages from the responsive tech support- have to be holding the iPad on its side when installing it otherwise it won’t work. Most of the time, it just stops working, requiring one to uninstall and reinstall it. I like it when it’s working but it’s really more like a weekend science project alpha build. If I had it to do over, I wouldn’t spend any money on it until all the bugs are worked out of it. **Update** Gave this another try in Elite Dangerous. Obviously they have not made much headway. Many of the bindings don’t work at all. Emphasis seems to be on getting users to subscribe, not in offering a quality product.

This app service has been discontinued. If you install it you will only get a connecting to host sign that ends with a connection error.

Worked at first , but now the display is messed up and makes any shard unusable.

i have this for my ipad and my amazon fire tablets. while the fire responds just a bit slower (expected) they both are overall very snappy when responding to touch controls. subscribing gives you access to a huge amount of customization. tip: high speed ram and ssd recommended on the hosting computer for maximum snappy response.

I have been crashing and much less stable with my otherwise incredibly stable 9700k, 32g Corsair, 2080 build at stock clocks, in both Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen using my iPad Pro for buttons. I mainly use my iPad for navigation while playing Elite but that isn’t really possible with this app. If you shrink it down to navigate with Road to Riches this app then makes you sign in with your complete email and password when returning. Ugh. Input lag was out of control on the non-official shards I tried, while the official ones were instant. The official shards for Elite looked very dated and none were very easy to read from distance or at a glance with muted colors and small writing. They advertise “Thousands of games”. Yes you can makes shards yourself, if you have tons of time, for lots of games, but there’s only pre-made shards for very few at best and many say they’re alphas. The app has potential, I subbed for the year and I’m kind of sorry I did because right now, I feel it’s a bare bones experience at best.

Okay when it works, but more often - it does not. Lags, not loading PREMIUM shards, buttons on Avionics shard for Star Citizen has some buttons WITHOUT actions bounded to them. Utterly disappointed. Mapped all needed buttons to my HOSAS and ditched this garbage

I’ve been using GameGlass with Star Citizen for a few months and play with it on an iPad in between a pair of t16000 sticks. I love the setup. I have started experimenting with the Forge which is pretty cool and useful as well. Support is very good. Anytime I have reached out, I have gotten a quick reply. This is definitely worth the try, especially if you play any sim games.
