Amazin app and service

There is only 2 problems stopping me from giving 5 stars to this app. I have a 3 monitor desktop and when I start a game from the app it changes the locations of my monitors within windows. After I finish playing I have to go and reset their positions within windows to be able to use the mouse properly. The second problem is that when I have touch set up instead of keyboard wherever I touch is off to the upper right quite a bit from where the mouse actually presses. Its not to hard to pin down how far off this is, so after a bit of trial and error you will figure out where to press on your device to have the mouse click where you want it. However, this is still quite annoying when not using the controller. Other than that, this app works perfectly on my iphone! The controls are laid out very intuitively for the gamepad and side settings once in a game, and it is very easy to use. You can jump into a game and play very easily then stop whenever.

Absolute liars

The pictures are lies the game wants you to first sign into your pc then you can play the game it literally says play any pc game on mobile but they didn’t say first sing into your pic to play the games and matter ah fact it defeats the whole point of saying play any any pc game on mobile because what people would expect is to probably make a account and then you can just play pc game but you literally have to have a pc or a computer to sign into the app and then play and that’s not what the downloader was expecting why don’t you developers actually tell the truth and for those of you that are seeing this review DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE GAME IF YOU DONT HAVE A PC OR COMPUTER

Controller Issues

I really want to love this app. I’ve tried it on both iOS and tvOS. But there’s something wrong with the controller emulation.For instance, in both Minecraft and Modern Warfare, the game UI flashes between controller mode (showing A, B, etc) and keyboard mode (showing esc, spacebar, etc.)I can’t even navigate the menus.More DetailsGames usually don’t auto launch. So I switch to mouse mode and click what I gotta click. Etc. I can live with this.I turn off mouse control while the game loads.But once in the game, it shows keyboard controls. When I move the joystick to navigate the menu, the UI flashes back and forth really fast between controller/keyboard labels. Usually lands on keyboard version. Every now and then will land on controller UI. Doesn’t matter because trying to move again triggers the same symptoms.I feels like the controller is sending keyboard and controller events simultaneously. For instance, while in Modern Warfare, pressing A might jump, or it might open the chat menu.I really really hope this gets fixed. The app has so much potential.

Turned my iPad into a Remote Desktop Machine

This app was quick and easy to set up and works as advertised. I’m able to play pc games from anywhere and so long as I have decent WiFi connection there’s very little lag. I love being able to navigate my pc like a tablet, which is not a feature I’ve seen in other streaming services. That said here are a few things that could be improved: If you go into the nvidia control panel on your pc you can add a custom resolution that fits your devices screen. It’d be nice if this was something we could add to Rainway’s resolution settings as well— as of now I have to manually adjust my pc’s resolution every time I connect. Another suggestion I have for the devs is to add external monitor support, so if I plug my iPad into a TV it can use a 16:9 aspect ratio and fill the whole screen. And one final issue I’ve encountered is that leaving the app for longer than a couple of minutes without quitting the stream causes the Rainway client to crash. This is probably due to iOS’s multitasking limitations, but if Rainway could somehow automatically quit the stream when its minimized that would save your users a lot of headache.These are minor blips though all things considered, and having used other streaming apps I can say that Rainway is probably the best. Excellent product and at just the right price. Good on ya, devs!

Disabled but trying to use Rainway

So I’m disabled and I have extremely limited movement. However, this doesn’t stop me from doing what I love which is gaming. I’ve had an Xbox One S for several years now and I think she’s finally falling apart. Thus, I proposed the idea of a gaming PC as a replacement to my parents, and they seem fine with it. The only problem is, I am physically unable to use a keyboard and mouse. This didn’t stop my passion though, I searched far and wide for a solution, wondering if I could just be independent for once. So, I came across the app known as Rainway which lets you play and control your PC from your mobile device. I just need to know if it actually works before I get the PC. So, can you move the touchscreen buttons around wherever you like? If this is not a feature, I ask that you guys implement this into the program so I can do what I love. It would mean a lot for some helpful feedback : )

Looks good but buggy

I waited for this app to come out on PC a few years back and they promised flawless setup. But I've never once been able to get it to work without messing up. I wanna love it but can't. I always have it setup to use but then when I connect from another PC it's lagging hella hard from 500mbps(host) and 50mbps from the device I'm using. Always stutters and drops. And if that's not the problem there's always a host error. Like dashboard error or a glitch that crashes it. I was sad to hear they kinda dropped this to persue bigger things in which I'm happy for them but this thing just doesn't work as well as some people say.

This app is amazing

I’ve been using Rainway for a few months now and it’s just incredible! App is super easy to use. The developers and the community managers are fantastic. They are open to feedback on improving the app. They listened to my feedback suggestion about removing the battery and calendar icon and changed it with the latest version so now it’s not in the way while streaming in full screen. Soon this app will be a game changer when iPadOS 14 releases the public and developers update. Apple is adding the necessary component for the mouse to work with games which means you can practically use this as a gaming laptop. Until then, games work great with a controller. Latency is not bad around 3-8ms for me at home. Thank you Rainway team for working hard and improving the app each update. This app made the iPad a useful companion device with your gaming computer.

I was amazed.

Wasnt expexting a lot from this app before installing it. When i tried it out, i was super impressed how quick it was to start playing. (it literally only takes minutes after u install the app on your pc) and it WORKED. It blew my mind when I was playing Halo with unnoticeable latency, and my games looked really pretty on my iphone, if u turn the stream settings all the way up. You obviously have to be on good wifi for this to be useable. I already tried it on LTE. Tried it at work where I have wifi and it blew my mind that I was playing my PC games away from home lol. Latency from my work was noticeable, but it was playable and I was still able to have fun and pass time. You will encounter a few bugs but it doesnt make the app unusable. Just get this app.

Rainway

Ok I don’t usually write reviews but I feel like this app deserves one this app is what I have been looking for since I got my pc this app lets me play any game that I have downloaded from my pc whether it be from steam or any other website where you can download games and it makes it really fun playing games on mobile that you usually would not be able to play thank you to the creators for creating this app.

How to fix the bugs

First thing is that Rainway is a amazing service. It good and fast but not that fast. I would recommend Rainway despite the bugs I will say. So now first before the bugs are pros and cons PROS: Fast, Detects a lot of Games, Amazing UI, and on console. CONS: Bugs, works with mostly controller supported games, and completely slows down your computer(Took me 8 minutes to log in to my computer). So now the bugs: #1 Can’t Connect to the Server: If you can’t connect to the server on your phone then I know how to fix it. So first you need to remove it from the background and then open it again, this should work. #2 Computer Lag: If you had shut down your computer with Rainway still in the background then it may completely slow your computer down. So next time before shutting down remove Rainway from the background when you want to play it put it back in the background. #3 Controls: The sad thing about Rainway is that it really only works with controls unless you plug a keyboard and mouse to your phone. So if the controller onscreen or connected to your phone doesn’t work then either take your wireless keyboard and mouse(If you have one) and use it near you computer or connected a controller to your computer and use it while looking at your phone. Honestly this is 5 Star Quality software and should earn more respect although people already respect it.
