CloudGear v1.6 lands hot on the heels of the v1.5 update — a rapid follow-up driven by player feedback, focused on reliability and quality-of-life polish.

The headline change: a complete rewrite of game controller input handling, fixing the stuck and dropped-input issues a handful of users had been seeing during fast button mashing or rapid trigger flicks.

Plus:

  • Smarter cellular handling — CloudGear now sticks to Wi-Fi or Ethernet when one is available, only falling back to mobile data if no other connection exists.
  • Home button on the navigation bar — return to your bookmark grid from any page with a single tap.
  • Improved frame pacing performance for smoother gameplay
  • Fixed an issue causing the device frame rate to be reported incorrectly in the connection stats
  • Miscellaneous bug fixes and other improvements

CloudGear v1.5 is our biggest update yet. Three headline features change how you play cloud games on iPhone and iPad:

  • Quick Launch bookmarks — bookmark a specific game and launch it with one tap, bypassing the streaming service’s user interface entirely.
  • Home Screen Widgets — add any bookmark to your iOS Home Screen. Tapping the widget launches the bookmark directly, without opening CloudGear first.
  • Amazon Luna support — stream Luna at the maximum resolution and bitrate the service offers, even on iPhone, with full controller support.

Plus:

  • Find and launch your bookmarks straight from Spotlight search
  • Customise your bookmarks — edit the title, address and icon, or set any bookmark as your home page
  • Bookmarks now sync across all your devices via iCloud
  • Support for custom mouse cursors (used by Boosteroid and Amazon Luna)
  • Navigate the home screen using a game controller or keyboard
  • Added “Clear cookies and cache” to advanced settings
  • GFN: All games are now playable in mobile mode, even without a keyboard and mouse
  • GFN: Fixed performance overlay showing the wrong layout
  • GFN: Custom mouse cursor now appears on external displays
  • Boosteroid: Fixed mouse not working on external display when the main screen dims
  • Miscellaneous bug fixes and other improvements
