Pretty mediocre for such a vital program
Old Windows Phone User
I love Logitech gear (I use the G900, 933, 910, and 600 peripherals) but I'm not impressed with the one app that lets you use all the features of their gear. The app looks dated to 2010 and there's no cloud storage for your profiles to sync between devices (which is a shame for those of us with laptops and work computers), and sometimes it's buggy. For some reason my computer has to ask me for permission to let my phone connect every time even though I tell it to remember the permission. Not that great but it does get the job done. Please overhaul the UX on mobile and desktop, Logitech.
Needs more testing

I downloaded this and connected it to my Logitech G430 via the Arx control in the game software. This override my windows volume options and decreased the overall volume of my headset by 30%. A full computer restart was required to rectify the problem. Also the PC monitoring stats still needs optimisation. The temperature of my i3-4000m was unavailable. I hope that they will support it in the future. The app has potential but needs fixing first.
Suggestion: Can't find on logitech site to send this.

Something I thought that would be nice to have with the app, would be the ability to change key commands on the fly. Say for example, you are playing a game. You wish you had one of the mouse buttons set for the TAB key. So you have to exit the game and setup the mouse for the button you want to send the TAB command. With this mobile/tablet app, why not have the ability to pick up your device, go to the button settings, and change the button to the command you need. This way you do not have to exit the game, you can do this in real time. Also have some way of identifying what key is what. G1, G2, G3...Etc really does not mean anything.
Doesn't work

When using the latest version of the app and latest version of the Logitech desktop program, this does NOT work. It will not allow anyone to connect their mobile device no matter what. God himself can't even do it until Logitech fixes this!
Not as useful as you might think

Think it might act like the display on a Logitech keyboard? Think again. It is its own thing, and it needs developers to support it separately. The only game it found was World of Tanks, and it only allowed me to launch the game. Pathetic, if you ask me. That being said, you can use it to keep track of the currently active profile, and keep track of system stats like GPU temperature and CPU/GPU usage while playing, so it has some use. However, since it is nowhere near as widely supported as the keyboard displays, and has nowhere near as good game detection, I'm only giving it three stars.
Ok

It's ok to have. It would be awesome if you could use it to program, and edit Macros. Hopefully new updates will make it more useful.
No supported titles

Runs as intended. Only detects one single game. I have like, 300 games on my computer. It's not Logitech that makes each game compatible, It is up to each individual developer to make software for the Logitech. I'm guessing that would cost some kind of loyalty or take too many weeks to do. Pointless app for a pointlessly overpriced keyboard.
Can't use the app anymore

I have a g105 keyboard after the app update you have to use firmware 8.70 or higher, g105 doesn't support firmware update
Beware

Mac OS X support for ARX is *not* yet included. The Mac gaming software supports the keyboards but not the ARX connections for your iPhone/iPad yet. Be wary before you spend money on the keyboards that use this product.
