About Permissions
Due to the working mechanism of Octopus, it requires the same permissions with games you play. In order to cover all games, Octopus needs many permissions to work properly. We guarantee Octopus won't abuse these permissions!

Octopus Pro
Support more functions. e.g.

Swipe
Draw any path and run it! For games require swipe gestures or pattern drawing. Duration is customizable.

Multiply
Hit a position multiple times. Times and duration is customizable.

Order Key
Set multiple keys with hit sequence. For example, you have 3 order keys with key value A. When you press A first time, No.1 A will act. Second time for No.2 A and third time for No.3 A, then loops. It's pretty useful for some scenes like open/close bag button on different positions.

Analog Deadzone
Deadzone is the area where your analog movement is ignored. For example, set deadzone to 0 to 20 and 70 to 100, that means all displacement less than 20% or greater thant 70% will be invalid, thus when you push your analog to 20% position it will act as 0% and 70% as 100%. Left and right analog can set different deadzone respectively.

Profile
One game with multiple different keymaps for various situation? Profile is what you needed. Under keyboard or gamepad mode, profiles can be created respectively.

Customizable Virtual Mouse Shortcut
While play with gamepad, press LS+RS to invoke the virtual mouse and move it with L/R analog and perform click with LT or A. This is quite practical for TV or some situation you don't want to touch your screen. Now, in Pro version, the shortcut for invoking is customizable.

Pick your gears and start a brand new mobile gaming experience!
Have fun!

User reviews
The "fix" it gives demands an unreasonable amount of permissions including access to my exact location, control over my phone calls, the ability to read and write text messages, my camera, my microphone, my images and videos, my contacts, my fitness activity, "body sensors", etc. After granting all those permissions, guess what happens! Nothing. It doesn't work even with all of them granted. Why. I actually spent $2 on this.

The free version a is a pain to set up every time and the paid version is kind of a scam. Basically with free version, it works, it does what it needs to do with the game I wanted play, but they don't even allow you to save a single button layout so every time you want to play you have to set it up again and again. So I tried the paid upgrade and it worked, until I quit out of the app, then all of a sudden it was the free version again and it was prompting me to buy the paid version. Since I used a secondary account to make the purchase the app I had to log out and log back in with my primary account cause google pay is really bad at handling multiple accounts. This is what probably caused the app to no longer think I had purchased the upgrade. This made me come to the conclusion that the in app purchase is most like recognized as consumable. Meaning that if you ever have to reset your phone, the purchase most likely will be gone and you will have to buy it again. This would have been very easy to avoid, if the developer just sold a separate basic/pro version on the app store. I really don't mind paying for games and apps, but in app purchases that aren't tied to an account are a recipe for disaster.

I am unable to get Google Play Games support working. The controller portion of the app works great. Each time that I attempt to sign into Google I receive q message "Game has crashed, please clear cache and game data", I went as far as to perform a full factory reset on my phone, install octopus and still same issue. If I can't get the issue fixed or email from support, I would like to get a refund.
