Great, but a little janky right now

This is by far the best streaming PC experience I've ever had, and this is in comparison to even streaming a computer through various remote desktop software on a 1 gigabit internet line (here in Chattanooga). However, not having native Windows touchscreen gestures and automatic keyboard input of a physical keyboard on an iPad (iPad Pro 11 specifically) makes this fairly cumbersome to use as a productivity computer, and that's a little disappointing considering HOW GOOD the streaming is using Shadow on my internet line, and the fact that I'm not planning to use Shadow primarily as a gaming PC (with a controller) but as a powerful productivity computer. If this app had input similar to TeamViewer's experience, then this app would basically be perfect and I would not have any major complaints.Also, there are bugs currently with custom resolutions here on iOS. When setting the resolution 2388x1668 (to properly fit the entire display of my iPad Pro 11), there were considerable scaling/cropping issues that made it so that either: my input was offset by more than 100 pixels in a direction with some weird scaling or cropping issue, or that my entire screen was black (even when exiting and reentering the app or reconnecting) and the computer would not respond to shutdowns. It was a fumble to get working but I was eventually able to do it.

Look, you’ll see a lot of reviews from people who haven’t used their iPads as their daily driver. Due to this, they’ll give this a poor review for many reasons. Everything from the internet connection, the settings you use, to minor mouse lock glitches (usually related to trying to dual screen) that can be resolved by unplugging and replugging the mouse (or off and off Bluetooth mouse). This replaced my gaming computer years ago. The money I save on my power bill has more than paid for this. But it goes beyond that, I can use this as my daily driver as a computer, and ultimately it’s replaced everything I used to use. My iPad is faster than my computer, and this computer is faster than most - so pairing it perfectly with an iPad - it’s amazing. If you have any technical issues, simply reach out on the discord, there’s a great community and tips to fix issues you have. Bottom line, iPad + shadow + Xbox controller = gaming beast. Even on the regular plan. The power plan, takes things to a whole other level with ray tracing. Also to whoever this helps - 5g is generally better than WiFi unless you got an exceptional connection. Always test different network and video settings if you run into trouble, most connections even low bandwidth ones will work.

Controller games are good, but mouse and kB games a janky
03/21/2019

When I first got this app, I loaded up GTAV and played with my MFi compatible controller for about an hour solid, while at my desk, on my iPad. I didn’t even feel latency or notice a difference from my desktop experience. However, when I tried to play a game that required cursor input, things got a little hard. When trying to play WoW, mouse moving the camera is not an option. Also the keyboard controls don’t work unless you have the show keyboard option selected with the Smart Keyboard. Next, I tried PoE. I found that I could move around but I wasn’t able to press any key bound attacks (QWERT) to actually attack. If this could work, I would def play sitting on my couch with my iPad. The inputs to move didn’t seem to have very much latency at all, definitely playable. Lastly, I did load up Cities Skylines and played that for a little bit. It works, albeit very awkwardly. To move you have to push your finger to the edge of the screen and drag back and forth. Also to do any other camera controls, you need click every thing, the Smart KB didn’t seem to have any response when trying to use the buttons.If the kinks with the Smart Keyboard were worked out, this would be a viable experience for mouse and KB input games on iPad. Currently, the only experience you can really have is one with a controller, which sadly is not a lot of the games I play.

Hi Sflores91, thank you very much for your review!You raised really good points, we know that the user experience using Shadow on a mobile device is not as good as we want it to be.Apple announced a few days ago compatibility between some of their devices and the Xbox one x PS4 controller. I hope this will make your game sessions easier using your set-up. In the meantime we will be working on finding great solutions for mouse and keyboard games.Thanks for supporting us!
