| 2024-12-13 |  | | I paid for Shadow PC and the payment went through and it says it is running on the web page, but on the app, it says it is still setting up the Shadow PC. It's been almost 3 hours, but I hope it starts up tomorrow. I bough the pc at around 6:30PM and their hours for support ends at 7PM. Maybe they are closed right now for the time being. This is a little strange, but I have used it in the past on android and it worked flawlessly. I contacted support. Now only time will tell! |
| 2024-10-22 |  | | Absolutely 💯 the best app available period. Key points- I'm on a galaxy S20 Fe with 4g network and can say this app performs almost flawlessly. The major problem I have is the mouse control issue, on a smartphone using touch mode rather than pointer mode is extremely tedious and a shortcut to change between the two should be added to the shadow tool quick shortcuts. I have tried within windows to solve this and alt+win+m doesn't work. Update: Mouse issue was fixed perfectly, a long time ago 🥳 |
| 2024-08-11 |  | | Needs ability to map controls on mobile, I use this service to work in blender and unreal engine and while the service is amazing the limited options in the mobile app are not so much. For example, there is no way to emulate a middle mouse click from default settings. You can download autohotkey or configure individual app settings. But having editable touch controls (even if its just swapping pre set functions) would make this app perfect imo. |
| 2024-08-10 |  | | This is a very good app alternative to GeForce now if your looking to play specific games. Very well priced and not very laggy if you have good internet. Their VR service is great but it still has its issues, this is overall a great service and I would recommend purchasing if you want to play VR games and other heavy AA/AAA games. Would also recommend having good wifi so it isn't as laggy. |
| 2024-07-30 |  | | You all need to fix your app when it comes to using T-Mobile. People don't just happen to have Wi-Fi nearby to connect. The purpose people want is to be mobile and on the go. Not sit next to some places that might have ShadowPC unblocked because you can't use this app at McDonald's, the Library, and so on. What I mean by fix it, is there should be no reason to use cloud flare or some VPN in order to connect and you need to fix the app to work with T-Mobile. |
| 2024-07-17 |  | | Honestly, great experience. Thanks to shadow, I don't need to own a PC at all. I just connect headphones, keyboard, and mouse to my android phone, and I'm all set. It even works with Discord. I use the second screen app to connect my phone to my TV and it's just like I actually still have a PC in my home. |
| 2024-07-02 |  | | There appears to be a bug with how the Chromecast app is mapping controller inputs. We're using a Switch Pro controller, which the Shadow PC app properly detects, but the controller mappings are completely wrong. For example, on startup, a tip is displayed that says pressing Start + Select will bring up the quick menu. Instead, pressing the triggers brings up the quick menu. The button mappings work correctly when connected directly to a PC running Shadow, but not via Bluetooth on Chromecast. |
| 2024-06-27 |  | | Stuttering issues regardless of connection type and computer (despite being connected to the closest server), and always disconnects even when actively in use. I've lost hours of work thanks to Shadow timing out even with the window in view and me interacting with it. Seriously debating cancelling and issuing a chargeback for the last three months of abysmal service. |
| 2024-02-05 |  | | This app has been running great for a while but just recently it's been getting worse the fact that it is so expensive but doesn't run properly is really annoying the most recent this is every now and than shadow PC will just completely crash for around 30-1h and it just won't open at all, I use this to run vrchat and the frames are not that good although I don't really look into quality it's definitely noticeable, I most certainly don't think this app is worth the amount you have to pay monthly |
| 2022-11-19 |  | | It works and fairly well, however, the mouse implementation is still a work in progress. There is no unlock/lock function that i can find for the mouse. The mouse lag for the android version versus the computer version is pretty significant and so far the biggest draw back. Let me know if there is a setting i am not using to improve this. |
