It's alright, but nothing amazing, the app does connect to the VCS perfectly fine and does what it's ment to do, the only issues is the super noticeable input lag and how the controls are very finicky. Also they forgot to include a ESC key on the keyboard which makes exiting fullscreen such a annoying and over complicated task. I'm sure these could be fixed in a future patch but as for now, just use a mouse and keyboard and avoid this app if you are looking to use the browser apps.

I loved the Atari VCS and application, but would greatly recommend adding either a second screen option or allowing the phone to be used as a controller in-game. Overall, the application worked decently for an Atari Comeback, though, there's hardly ads for Atari VCS or the phone app anywhere. The VCS feels more like a letdown than the application.

zero functionality... rebooted multiple times...verified that the VCS and my mobile phone are both using the same WiFi network...not able to synch the Atari Companion to my wifi network. All I get is that it is searching for my VCS, even though the app clearly shows my Wifi Network ID right on top and on the VCS, I have the same WiFi network selected under Devices. I've read issues with a Samsung Galaxy tablet...I have a Galaxy S9+ mobile phone...Atari tech support was zero help.
