- Basic App is free with watching AD, but "Premium (2$)" to store private "game data" into Google account. Or it allows only guest account access. And for advanced touch features, another 6$ needs to pay.
- While Octopus is running, the gamepad can't support its compatible game, because all input data work as touch-mapping only.
- It works on all android-compatible gamepad.
- Octopus run the game app inside Octopus app, which mean it can monitor all the data processing, so it creates risks;
→ For the user, hacking his personal data including PW/id, gameplay data, history
→ For the game publishers, his game data is being leaked to 3rd party. So, they monitor always and can ban it to use for user protection
- "Run over App" way increases system loading, which may cause "latency", "long booting time", "slow reaction", "battery dry out" etc.
panda Pro ($2.5 payable), user is being required to open "USB debug port" and "input code" to allow its installation.
Whichever gamepad you use, it works like a touch screen input.
If you reboot your smartphone, you need to set it up again through the computer or activation kit.
