Backbone turns your iPhone and iPad Mini into the ultimate gaming device.
■ Play any game or service that supports game controllers.
The Backbone One controller works with services like PS Remote Play, Xbox Game Pass (xCloud), Apple Arcade, Xbox Remote Play, Google Stadia, and Amazon Luna.
It also works with games like Call of Duty: Mobile, Minecraft and Genshin Impact.
Press the Backbone Button to bring up the app and launch into your favorite games that support controllers from one place.
■ Record, edit, and share epic gaming clips
Backbone One has a built-in Capture button that allows you to easily screen record or screenshot gameplay and share directly to social platforms like Instagram Stories and iMessage, all directly from your mobile device.
■ Never miss a moment
Hold the Capture Button to bookmark a moment when recording. Forgot to bookmark? Once a video is captured, Backbone’s app helps you identify your most action-packed moments automatically, allowing you to show off your best moments and highlights with ease.
■ Party with your friends

Great for only a few months

I bought this online and was very excited. It was really great until it had issues (it would automatically prompt recording) after a few weeks to a point it can’t be used. Sent customer service a complain and still had warranty. They gave me a new device. After a few weeks, it had another issue (joysticks wouldn’t work). At this point I give up. I don’t know it’s a software or hardware issue. It was good while it lasted. But all in all, I wasted my $100.
SOOO GOOD!

It’s probably the best portable Console after Nintendo Switch! So good!
Please let us remove the background artwork
Praisee.
Background artwork is inconsistent, some are good and some are not. It hurts my eyes.
Developer Response
Hi Praisee,I understand you'd like the ability to remove or customize the background artwork in the Backbone app, as some of the artwork is inconsistent and causing visual discomfort.Currently, the Backbone app doesn't have a built-in option to remove or change the background artwork. The background images are part of the app's default interface design.However, I'd be happy to create a support ticket to pass along your feedback about adding this customization feature to our development team. Your input about the inconsistent artwork quality and the visual strain it causes is valuable feedback that can help improve the user experience.Would you like me to create a support ticket to submit this feature request on your behalf?Best regards, Backbone Support TeamThis message was generated with the assistance of Decagon AI
