Great, although some suggestions

This is an awesome app for when you don’t feel like getting out of bed to play some PC games, but it could be better. For instance, the controls are very restricted. It’s either NO controls (you move your finger around to move the cursor), SIMPLE controls (just 6 buttons, in the RB LB configuration, seen on the top of controllers, plus two other buttons), and FULL controls (freaking PS D pad, shoulder buttons and bumpers, TWO thumb sticks, an XYAB button configuration, and start/select near the bottom edges). In my opinion, it’s either not enough or WAY TOO MUCH, as in a lot of cases only need two thumb sticks, XYAB, and start/select (ok, maybe the bumpers and shoulder buttons). The rest is just covered up screen space. Please add an option to set custom button layouts and sizes, and to choose what buttons you need. It would greatly increase the usefulness of this app. Other than that, that’s pretty much the only complaint I have. It’s responsive, but I probably wouldn’t use it for FPSes, and tweakable bitrates from 0.5 mbps to 50 mbps (default 10 on 720p, 20 on 1080p), and framerates either 30 Hz or 60 Hz. I would recommend 20 Mbps at 1080p 60Hz, but you could go for a lower setting. Overall pretty OK app, let down by the controls. By the way, it works pretty well on my laptop: Inspiron 15 i5577 i5 7th gen 3500hq GTX 1050 8 GB ram 2.4 GHz 20 MBPS down / 5 MBPS up Although you probably want 5 GHz.

Really great but your enjoyment depends on several things

I was an early adopter of all the Nvidia shield line and I really enjoyed the shield (later called shield portable) but moonlight is better, simple as that. I have both an iPad Pro (12 inch) and an iPhone 7 Plus and I own two game vice controllers for each one and have them lying around the house. Whenever I want to play any game that is on my pc all I have to do is grab my tablet or phone and wrap around the Gamevice and its a better experience than what I had on the shield. Your experience will vary of course, not only does it depend on your computer hardware and your network infrastructure but also on the types of games you want to play while using it. A good example is how playing a game that requires fast reactions times, like a FPS or a Street Fighter game, especially online, would completely such while using moonlight due to the added lag of the whole process. However, plying single player games, RPGs, strategy games or pretty much anything where lightning reactions times aren’t required are perfect. The Witcher 3 was perfectly fine, the combat may take a bit to get used to due to the fast paced nature of it but its not bad enough that you cant play, while games like South Park fractured but whole are incredibly comfortable to play using it, in fact it was more confortable to play on my iPad than on my big screen tv. It all depends on what you expect, don’t expect 4K graphics that look and play as good as they do in your high end computer. The only controllers I use for this are gamevice so I am not able to give an opinion on compatibility with other gamepads. While the original nviida shield portable still takes the first price when it comes to the controller, (it was the best part of the shield) the small screen and extremely slow android OS it has makes it more annoying than anything. Even with the shield lying around I still use moonlight with my iPad regularly instead of the shield.

Not supported

Could you bring back the old icon with the moon :( it looks so aesthetically pleasing.

It's a great app

Hi I'm Kyla

It's great but I am sad because my pc is AMD :(

Never works

Never connects to my pc even when on the same WiFi or Ethernet and game stream enabled. Waste of time

Works as advertised

Cool. I’m lying in bed playing Shadow of Mordor on my iPhone 7 Plus. It looks great and the controls are pretty responsive. Would like to try this on an iPad with a keyboard/mouse (honest-to-goodness PC gaming from the couch or bed!), and maybe on a twitchy FPS to see how it does.
