Unity Remote 5

spent several hours trying to get this to work. save your time and just build/run instead and output your debug log to a canvas. frustrating part is that for many people it just works, but as many others have said, there are times when the device is detected, you can build to it, but no matter what you do it will never output to the device. probably has something to do with Unity Remote not receiving any update since 2016. come on guys.

Unity Remote 5 is a great tool for debugging games without relly installing them on your device. I had problems with it not working, but I found some resources how to fix this. Eventually everything was narrowed down to missing USB drivers and permissions on your phone. You need to be in developers mode and to allow USB Debugging on your device. But the tool itself works flawlessly. Now I don't have to build and install the game every time when I make some small changes. Recomend it!

Outdated at this point. Needs an update ASAP. Connectivity is very poor over numerous phones and cables, depending on the brand and model of your phone it might actually connect or just flat out fail. I had to delete my driver's and then reinstall the ENTIRE ANDROID SDK on my computer before I even got to notice it in the inspector. Seriously, if you're building for Android, then just build the app and test on your device.

Terrible. Very difficult to setup, installed Android SDK multiple times, all different methods and Unity said it still couldn't find it. Turned on developer mode on my phone and still nothing. Too many hoops to jump through. It's not worth even trying until this gets some major overhaul.

Unity Remote 5 review Price: free This app mirrors the good and bad aspects of the actual Unity engine. They attempt to make a tool that works for all use cases and it ends up being a buggy mess that works as intended for none. After going through the struggle of making it work it becomes useful for a random amount of time before it breaks again. Buggy and unresponsive. 2/5

While this app offers the basic fundamentals of what you need - debugging for mobile games, testing touch gestures, ... - this app has so much unused potential! Using modern technologies, a Unity application could become a game developer's best friend. Yet, somehow this app becomes a time consuming liability. It all starts with a number of steps to actually start using the app. I really hope there is gonna be a modern update soon.

This took me forever to get it to work but the steps I took was to get ADB to recognize the device first. So I went into Developer Options to enable USB Debugging as well as default USB connection to PTP. Then I cycled adb on the computer and connected my phone. I checked that ADB recognized the device then restarted Unity, pressed play and it finally worked. Hopefully this helps. I wish there was more support on this than me going through 8 different forums.

Can't get this to work at all despite spending hours hunting down and following numerous tutorials, troubleshooting guides, etc. Support and troubleshooting from Unity appears to be non-existant. Very frustrating experience.

Awesome. Used this for 6 years. Its a little glitchy but gets the job done. Just remember, if it stops working during use, just save scene and restart unity3d and unity remote. To activate ( edit > project settings > editor > device. Never got a chance to thank the developer. Thank you.

When you get it to work, it does what it should but the process if getting it to work is horrible. I had to stop working on my game while very busy for 3 hours in order to make Unity Remote 5 work. I managed to get it to work after following a forum post from 2013. I don't know why this doesn't work easier or maybe have a better official tutorial to get to work.

Please improve it so we dont have go through such hassels and get connected to editor in less than a minute. This app is a really helpful software which can really boost my development time. But getting it to work is really a pain without gain. Please improve this app or make a different software or else I have move from unity. Thanks

Abysmal, spent an entire afternoon trying to get it to run to no avail. The official documentation has no actually helpful troubleshooting section for when the setup guide doesn't work. No amount of searching yielded any solution. Tried on various mobiles, PCs and Unity versions.

As an indie developer really trying to expand my game to new audiences with a mobile port, this is a bad way to do so. This app doesn't work 90% of the time and when it does work, it is very poor and laggy, this is not the best way to try out a mobile build of your game, it's better to make a build and download it to your phone.

This app is most of the time won't work in unity. As it works right on then first time but then it doesn't connect again while all my settings were same. Please fix it so that we can keep creating awesome games.

It's a nice app, it works for me i hope you can improve it more or maybe add some lan connection sometimes it's hard to work with a wire connected. But overall this is a nice app

For anyone that cant get this to work after installing the correct drivers please read this to fix your problem and update your review if you find this helpful. To allow this app to work go into unity and find the "Game" tab, If you have never messed around with the aspect ratio, There should be a drop down that says "Free Aspect". Click that and then click "Remote (Not Connected)". As long as you have your Unity Remote 5 app open you can finally see your game on your device after clicking play.

Worst. I am unable to connect even with new usb cable. This app is irritating. I spend more than 6 hrs on that even watched tutorial on YouTube but it's not connect with unity.

It's good when it works. Need to restart Unity on my PC every time I want to use it and often it just randomly stops working and need to restart again.

It's a great app for testing only problem is I have to restart the unity editor every time I connect to the computer bro test. I love it keep up the great work and God bless you 😇🙏

To solve the problems: 1. Ensure you have USB Debugging activated. Stay Awake. (Adiccional setting). 2. Quit Unity in your computer. 3. Connect your mobile using the USB. Check if it is connected correctly. 4. Turn on Unity Remote (mobile). 5. Start Unity in your computer. 6. "Play". (It is necessary that edit > project settings > editor is working with "any android decide" in the first drop down). Like to help.

Terrible experience. I hve had th hardest and most stressful time connecting it with the Unity Editor. It is so tough that I recommend not even bothering connecting it with Unity.

Doesn't work, I've tried everything including downloading Android studio using the Google drivers and two different phones. Wasted a whole day with this. Really need this to test my mobile game..

It only works when i build the app. To difficult to get setup. I mean honestly its promoted as plug and play but its a lot of SDK downloading and linking this to that.. It needs some work.

Got this working finally: Long-tap on Unity Remote 5 and go into its App Info > Storage > and then tap Clear Data and Clear Cache. If you can't long-tap on the app, go into your System Settings > Storage > Unity Remote 5 > Storage > and then tap Clear Data and Clear Cache.

This works for me 100% of the time... **Ensure editor settings are changed to any Android device in unity, and close unity** 1) open unity remote 5 app first 2) connect phone via USB cable to pc/laptop 3) open unity and load project 4) press play and test on device

I've been using this app for a month now, and it works every time I need it. I no longer need to wait for the game to compile and install on my phone, I can just hit play and test my code on the fly. Plus, I get to play around the the game object's variables. This is an amazing tool!
