1. 3/5Nice controller at least

   This app’s priorities are messed up in the absolute most hilarious loser techbro way. If you’ve ever thought, “man, I wish physical game controllers could adopt the same manufactured-rarity pyramid scheme economics of the extremely brief NFT boom” then this is the only app for you. If you don’t care about any of that nonsense and just want to remap the buttons on your CRKD controller, this unfortunately is also the only app for you. Other things of note: 1. it’s just a dumb BT controller. It shouldn’t be this hard to connect it to an app. Usually takes me four or five attempts to get it to stick. 2. The first time I got it to connect, it ran a firmware update and then crashed directly to the springboard in the middle of said firmware update. Thankfully everything is fine, but for a brief moment I was super worried about having to return it and lose my extremely coveted diamond rarity status. 3. What’s up with this logo? This has some serious “The CTO’s nephew is going to State University for graphic design next year” energy. 4. I’m sorry. I can’t get over the NFT thing so I’m going to keep roasting it: The thing is, the controller is actually really nice so the company itself isn’t an outright scam. Was this a situation where all you wanted to do was make quality hardware, but none of the VC ghouls would fund a single idea unless it had a Silicon Valley grift attached to it? Hopefully y’all hit that ROI before you’re forced to cram “AI” into your next product. 5. Screw it. I’ll just say what everyone’s thinking. It’s the Dead Kennedys logo. I’m sorry but your CTO’s nephew just made the Dead Kennedys logo.

2. 3/5Cannot tap scan device

   App seems decent enough to navigate until you look for help, trying to add my device to the “collection” and continues to give me an error message saying please turn on Bluetooth to tap device. Bluetooth is clearly on, this maybe due to the phone is new? Guess IPhone 16 isn’t supported?

3. 5/5Tough crowd - the app works great

   I’m here to bring some joy into this review group. I purchased a Neo S controller and the app works seamlessly. It kind weird it wants access to your video, camera, and photos so that it can make interaction video while you look up your devices rarity but… you don’t have to do any of that and can skip it if you want. Through the app, I’m able to tweak and tune my controllers vibration, trigger sensitivity, button layouts, firmware update, and more. It’s nice having deep links to the product manual and store page. I’ll be using this app much more because while you can do most of these actions using a combo of button presses… the amount of button press combos is absolutely insane and tuning your controller via the app is so much easier.

4. 4/5App is decent enough

   I agree with another reviewer— tough crowd. But my experience with the app wasn’t entirely smooth regardless. Eventually I managed to scan in the CRKD Atom I have to my collection, but only after a few failed attempts first. I think it’s just a matter of knowing where your NFC sensor is on your model of phone. When in doubt, look it up and try again. Something I thought was a bit weird was how this app records video reactions to rarity reveal. I guess I would have cared as a naive kid, but as an adult I think it’s a bit silly. To each their own though. I just like the clean controller designs.

5. 1/5Absolutely useless app to a good product

   I like the Nitro Deck. I almost never play the Switch handheld but this changed that. But what’s the point of this app? You put out a firmware update for the deck, but doesn’t have Mac support. You have an app with NFC function, but can’t update the deck with it. And who is actually registering their nitro decks on here? Cryto bros? What makes you think I care to register an accessory to a 7-year old console that already has rumors of a successor? Don’t bother getting this app unless you get a warm fuzzy feeling having someone tell you that controller you bought is special and yours is the only one in the whole wide world.
