Garbage. Accomplishes nothing. This will not solve any of your gamepad issues that you could not solve without it. This app is a complete waste of money.

I had the same issues as most people here. Was initially excited to try it out, but turns out it does not work well at all. Face buttons on my wireless Xbox 360 Controller work fine, but the axes and shoulder buttons are all janky. Dont waste your money on this one, Im using another app from the App Store that is a little cheaper but works wonderfully.

Hey Ive seen lots of bad reviews, I only own a dualshock 3 (ps3 controller), so i cant tell for the other devices, but for the dualshock 3, it works great running 10.7 also an helpfull setting is that you can save your layout for your different games // for those who dont know, the dualshock 3 needs to be paired to the computer with the usb cable (use the good one, some charging cables simply dont do it for me) then once this is done, it works over bluetooth. The thing is you still need this software (or similar one) to map the controls to the buttons.

DO NOT BUY THIS AND WAIST YOUR MONEY. it does not work with the xbox remote I spent all this time maping out the bottons but in the end it does not work in the game at all. I have the proper drivers installed and an xbox 360 remote usb reciver so there is no resin for this app not to work. I would not recomend buying this app for the Xbox 360 remote if you do there is a big chance your money will be waisted.

I couldnt get this to work but perhaps it does. It took a while to get support and I eventually found a very simple one that worked for me - joystick mapper so I dont plan on bothering with this one.

Works with PS3 Rock Band Drum kit

Works great with the Rock Band drum kit.

Doesnt work with logitech game pads

Not worth the money since it seems to be hit and miss which pads will work.

I am unsure why this app has so many one stars and so many written reviews. It’s also terribly suspicious how many of those reivew mention a competeing product which seems to have a inordantly large number of 5 stars and written reviews. Buyer Beware. I have used this with Logitech, Macally, and a PS3 controller, all work great and programming is very easy.

PS3 Controller

Doesnt work. Im able to sync my PS3 controller and map the keys but then when I go in game it does nothing. Waste of money. Thanks for nothing.

This app works well with my PS3 controller and Aspyr games, and Portal. I cannot get it to work, however, with Assassin’s Creed 2. What is really lacking is the technical support. I have sent the developer multiple emails, and although he answered the first one (3 years ago), only to deny that the technical problem I was experiencing even existed, he has yet to answer one since. It doesn’t appear to be an abandoned project, so who knows. Maybe he took it personally for some reason. Incidentally, if anyone HAS gotten it to work with AC 2 (and Google seems to indicate that this is impossible), please let me know.

Sensitivity Calibration 1 and 2, along with the tracking speed option are disabled and don’t work for an uncalibrate PS2/3 Harmonix Drum kit. If it did, then this app would be brilliant. Also, it downloaded version 3.2 on my OS X 10.9.2 system — puzzeling. Anyway, I truly hope and update is available soon that will enable these options, making it more user friendly and worth the 7.99 I just paid.

Please allow Xbox One Controller

I traded in all of my 360 stuff & have an Xbox One controller but it’s not supported. Please fix.

Bubbaflax v3.3.1 · 11 years ago

The idea is great and Im sure it works well with a few games but Gamepad Companion does not actually work with all games as is advertised. It states pretty clearly in the description that you can use it with every game or app, even if they dont have support for the device you are using... so long as the device you are using is supported. This is not true and had I known this prior to purchasing, I would have saved myself the money. If anyone is interested in using this for Star Wars: KotOR which can be bought from this very App Store, it will not work so please save yourself the time, hassel and money.

PS3のDUALSHOCK3が使えました

OS X 10.7.2 PS3のDUALSHOCK3をBluetoothで接続し使用出来ました。 Asphalt6、モダンコンバットで動作を確認。

ただし、PLAYSTATION3のコントローラーについては、L2 R2がDegital判定になっているので、Analog判定にしてほしい。X Y Rotationが存在しない上に、やはりXbox360 Controllerと同じ配列でZ Axis,Z Rotationも配置してほしい。 それか次期アップデートで、Dualshock4に対応してほしいですね。
