HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (1674 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.4 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★Oct 10, 2026

★★★★★Oct 5, 2026

Super Cool Loving it so far! update so I got this a while back I don't use it very much I may have used it two dozen maybe three dozen times in a year or two it was working just fine then out of nowhere just completely stops working everything on the left side of the controller analog L1 L2 and the d-pad I looked it up it's a very common problem they know about it it's the internal ribbon and I'm pretty much just screwed over and I spent good money on this I will badmouth backbone to everyone

★★★★★Oct 5, 2026

I didn't think is was possible to make the user experience any worse but Backbone somehow pulled it off. It went from an over priced mid grade controller with a decent app that hides features behind a paywall to an over priced controller with features hidden behind a paywall inside of one of the worst and most unusable apps I have come across. The app is completely ruined now. At this point there is nothing left that is good about Backbone or the controller.
