It's great that I can see a list of all the games i own. I assume the app is meant to be able to play your games remotely. I was able to get the game to load but the game is unplayable with heavy latency and repeated freezes. Thought i may be a network issue but my home pc gets 300mbps and my phone is getting 80mbps.

Great app. I use it while work is dead and I gotta kill time but they really need to add an option to close a game when the stream is unresponsive. It will be working fine then the game will have a hiccup and crash the app and if I reopen the app and try to reconnect it'll just say couldn't connect to network relay and it leaves my pc running a video game til I get home only to find out it's all running fine and the only issue being the app couldn't connect to the game.

Absolutely love this. Would really like to see it work well on devices with infinity displays. Got a custom resolution set up and it's great except the app doesn't display over the portion of the screen with the camera. Not really an issue it would just be nice. Every issue people have with this is directly related to their internet speed. Fantastic service
