Stuttering on Ipad is unacceptable with GeForceNOW, it seems some services are pooling the app or somethings.
No it’s not a wifi issue (i have full house of AP) and i have perfect wifi coverage.

I had this issue until I disconnected my iPad from the display options on my Mac, universal control. You can also try disabling options under General / AirPlay & Handoff.

Ok.. sorry late reply. I did some testing and either disconnecting the iPad from your Mac or going into your iPad - Settings / General / AirPlay & Handoff - Disable "Cursor and Keyboard" did the trick.

Yeah. I ran into this issue awhile back and did some troubleshooting. I didn't disable it on my iPad at first, only my Mac. But I tried it both ways on my testing.

I think I even posted this on Nvidia forums as well.

Have you tried it?

Yeah.. understood. So before you jump into GeForce Now, just go into the settings / general / AirPlay & HandOff - Disable the "Cursor and Keyboard."

I tired it a few more times and as predicted, if that option is on, the game I tested on ran like crap. I disabled and the game ran just fine.

Note - After your gaming, just enable it. You might be able to make a shortcut to make enabling/disabling easier. I might play with that also. :)

Are you playing in the browser because I don’t see an application in the App Store?
Unfortunately there isn’t an App in the App Store. So use a browser and go to play.geforcenow.com. Agree and continue from that screen, and then use the share option, select Add to Homescreen. It will add the GeForceNow icon to your Home Screen to access.

Hope this helps.

Any info about releasing geforce now native app on ipads ? is it in plan?

If xCloud got blocked by Apple, I don't see how GeForce Now is allowed by Apple.

But since xCloud is part of an anti-competitive lawsuit against Apple, Apple might change their tune and allow cloud gaming apps.

they already allowed cloud gaming :) but f.e microsoft wont release dedicated app

I'm curious, what native cloud gaming apps are available on iOS? Because afaik, the two big ones (GeForce Now and Xbox) are only available as web apps.

Like actual cloud and not just an app like Steam Link which just streams from your own PC.
