Samsung releases another Galaxy View specific app aimed at gamers

The Samsung Galaxy View, a mammoth 18.4-inch tablet device, appears to be a niche product. That is not stopping Samsung from throwing resources in the form of app development at the Galaxy View though. We have already seen a family bulletin board style app for the device hit the Play Store and the Galaxy View Remote which turns a smartphone into a mouse to control the tablet. Following in the path of the Galaxy View Remote app, Samsung has released the S Console Gamepad app to turn a smartphone into a gaming controller.

The S Console Gamepad app has to be installed on a compatible smartphone, which is currently limited to other Samsung devices including the Galaxy S4, Galaxy S5, Galaxy S6, Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy Note 4, and Galaxy Note 5. Once installed, users can select from one of six different gamepads to use with over 100 gamepad optimized games. Users will even have the ability to edit gamepads to come up with their own unique solutions to meet their needs. Like the Galaxy View Remote app, users establish a connection between the Galaxy View and their smartphone using Bluetooth.

If you have a Galaxy View and want to avoid buying a physical gamepad for your gaming enjoyment, hit the Play Store link below to grab the S Console Gamepad for a virtual option.
