Unity Remote 5, allows you to use an iOS device to view and test your game live, right inside the Unity Editor without having to build your project. Unity Remote 5 makes your iOS device act as remote control. It streams touch, MFi gamepad, Siri remote (on Apple TV) accelerometer, gyroscope, webcam and screen orientation events back to Unity Editor. This is useful for rapid development when you don't want to compile and deploy your project to iOS device for each change and prefer to use the Unity Editor Game window instead. Unity Remote is compatible with any Unity version newer than 5.0, but some features require Unity 5.4 or above.

Unity Remote 5 Positive Reviews
Works well, but some issuesIgnore the people who give this 1 star reviews. This is a great app! NOTE: For those complaining that it doesn’t work, make sure you have iTunes installed. YOU NEED THIS TO CONNECT IPHONES TO WINDOWS AND MAC (and Linux)
It would be nice of Unity Technologies to improve the app some more, but it works. The only reason I left a 4 star review is because there are constant crashes even with a good cord and being able to download game.
If you just made it recover instead of shutting the app off would make it much easier to use. Also maybe download a build onto the app so you can just play it???
I believe I can say that the people developing would like to download a build to test it with other people and so it doesn’t crash. Just saying...
Other than that this app is a miracle and I look forward to Unity updating it to make it more usable. Thank you unity!.Darkhydra855Version: 2.0
Great app for developingThis is a great app for anyone who wants to develop in Unity for iOS. The only problem I have with it so far is that it doesn’t play audio through the remote, but this is a minor problem. It is more fore development of the visuals and controls. If three is a way to play the audio in the app, I haven’t found it yet, I would give it a 5 star rating if they could add it in..MitihalewVersion: 2.0
Best app ever for game testing without XcodeThe app works perfectly, first time I had some issues but found out that the wire I was using to connect to my windows computer does not transfer data. After pluging in the new wire the app worked perfectly. The only issue I have is no audio comes through..OneshotvishVersion: 2.0

Simple, FastThis is outstanding app that works fast and is extremely easy to set up with unity on Mac. I no longer have to run create an external Xcode build to test my app for debugging and adding on to it..Awesomeness10293Version: 2.0
WorksIt works as expected but instructions are kind of unclear as how to connect it (at least for me) but I quickly found help on unity’s website..Jonathan_JoestarVersion: 2.0
AmazingFinally some apple to developer cooperation. Havent even used it yet but still stoked to try it. Not much on the app store for making custom software..Raven ClaricoVersion: 2.0
DecentThis app works fine for quickly prototyping an app to see what it’s like before deploying it. Gets the job done, but is very slow, which is my biggest complaint about it..AxiomaticTwistVersion: 2.0
Device inputs are not streamed to the computerUnity manual says that the device inputs(e.g. gyro, accelerometer, etc) are streamed back to the editor, but no data is received..NiguiecandyVersion: 2.0
Slightly laggy, no worriesStill gets the job done..DasimarVersion: 2.0
Definitely beats building every time you need to testGreat app.A real page turner!Version: 2.0
So happy this existsSaves a ton of time testing minor changes.Jdog1764Version: 2.0
Good, but could be betterIt’s a good app, but some stuff that can be fixed:
-The app could have large screen support (If your game supports it)
-Less lag between the PC and the phone
Those are the only problems I’ve had so far. The main one I want you to focus on is the large screen support. Please fix that one!.SuperJumpBrosYTVersion: 2.0

OKIt is a cool concept but I only works about 15% of the time. I will follow all the steps to set it up but I have issues with frequent disconnection, it just not displaying anything when I hit play or it just straight up crashes. Although when it dose work it is flawless but I wish it would work like that all the time..Jarred3098Version: 1.1
Works perfectlyCouldn't find a flaw. Easy, simple and works smoothly. I have an iPhone 5S..CometzapVersion: 1.1
Doesn't work on windowsCan't test it now but it seems this app only works with the OSX Unity editor. Something to keep in mind if you're coding on windows....Niall111Version: 1.0
Screen resolutionIt works, and it allows you to control the game, which is good in some cases, but the screen is squeezed to fit on some older devices. This makes it very pixelated..Blahblah31415Version: 1.1

Unity Remote 5 Negative Reviews
Does not work with new input systemPeople have been asking for this app to be compatible with the new input system for over 2 YEARS! There has been little response from the team and no idea on when an update might be available. Without this feature, the app is pointless and testing for mobile devices requires a full build every time, which really slows everything down. Please fix this or at least communicate to your users.C. wehttaMVersion: 3.0
I would give this zero stars if I couldThis is completely broken, and the Unity site offers absolutely no helpful mac documentation about how to fix it. I've followed all of the steps they've listed to no avail, and have tried for days (seriously) to get a game of any kind to show up on this useless screen. I would pay $100 for a working version of this, or even a slightly less broken version that offered support or tips or feedback of any kind.AmsteinitzVersion: 3.0
Please give us back every playPlease give us back Everyplay it was the best app ever seeing you take it away made my heart broke I don’t know what to do with my life without it it is even better than instagram and Facebook so please bring it back even do whatever you want with other apps all I care for is Everyplay the app you deleted October 1 “wow it seems like every developer is deleting their best popular apps.Fireblast1004Version: 2.0
Fails despite every effort, with no helpful messagesWhile I love Unity3D, this is not a well engineered tool at all. If the stars align and it works for you, consider yourself lucky. For over a year, this tool has refused to work, despite following all troubleshooting steps given by Unity's support page. iTunes and Windows have no problems at all in interacting with my iPad. Why the tool gives ZERO info/error messages is beyond me..WistesoVersion: 2.0
Works but the performance is trashThe app is working fine, you can test your games on your iPhone which’s cool but the performance is trash which makes the app unusable especially if you’re optimizing your game and want to test while doing that.
Might be good for testing controls etc. other than that it’s not necessary at all.I7sMoDVersion: 3.0
This trash company.Fyi, this company is the same company that makes Scam games. For the APP STORES.
They pay for bold face lie advertising . It’s absolutely clear how much the FEDS Should be stepping in soon.
They have you win a ton of cash easy.
So you watch MORE lie Ads so you keep making them money. They
NEVER PAy OUT WHATS promised. Bingo, lottery and scratch offs.
They even go so far as to ask for your cash app info as if they intended on sending u anything FRAUD!.
so if you want to have an investigation happening in your back yard, i suggest you dump Anything related To UNITY. YES, same one! IM
SICK OF these people scamming everyone!.Em photoVersion: 3.0
Unity 5.4.1 bugThis does not work on unity 5.4.1
I have an iPhone 5s and was using it on 5.4.0 and it worked properly, and then I updated to 5.4.1 and I tried to find my iPhone in the editor settings in unity but it wouldn't show up..Dopo17Version: 2.0
Unusably slowThis app is useful only for getting touch screen events. The frame rate on the target device is so slow it’s not usable for testing. You will need to make a full build and install it on device to reasonably test your game..RavbugVersion: 2.0

Cannot ConnectI tried this on Unity 5.1.1, 5.4.0, and 5.5.0, none of them seem to work. Also, I tried this on iPhone & iPad with no success. The unity editor successfully lets you select the device but the application does not connect once hitting play..RbailzVersion: 2.0
