The app works flawlessly with my Nvidia Shield Portable and Windows desktop/laptop. Looking forward to playing on my laptop on an upcoming trip and not having to bring a separate controller with me. The developer also goes above and beyond in solving any problems that might arise.

App doesn't run in background on nvidia shield tv also u need a mouse to control it
No server anymore, I wanted to use this with my shield portable as a project but without the server from the site, this app is useless. Which is a real shame as had so much potential and really would've liked it to work.
