  I'm using with the Moga Pro Controller and the SbrickController 0.5 version and works perfect.....even this app have less lag/delay, and the feeling to control a Car (Buggy, Crawler, supercar) is better with a stick.
   
  Thanks to the SbrickController app now i considering to buy another sbrick to play with my son ( i have another Moga Pro controller)

  The only bad thing is that disconnect-connect very often....so make impossible to play.
  Also i can't assign 2 slots of the sbrick (for example C and D) to the same button or trigger.
   
  I will look very close to this app....really GREAT!!!
  Thanks Karl for posting that link....nice find!

  **Edit: Nop....i speak to soon.....the forever loading icon in the app when you want to update your profile or add a new one still happens. Clear the data and enter again in the app fix it, but you have to star from zero.
   
   
  Now you can tell this is a "real" APP!!! 
  @Sbrick-Team: the minimum you can do is send a sbrick for FREE to the active people in the forum who as tested the APP for more than a YEAR!!! i have to admit, I never thought that my patience was so generous.

  The buggy have 2 L motors, so both of the motors are linked to the same function (acceleration) and one othe L motors is inverted.....also noticed that one of the motors have less lag/dealy (stop first), so maybe is also related to inverse/no inverse and 2 motors linked to the same function......i don't know.
   
  Also the app have a bug.....when you select My profiles the first time is ok (fresh install), but if you update your profile in the profile designer and want to update in the phone....the load icons in the Market stay forever. You have to clear cache and info of the app and start all over again.  less

  @Tamas
  If dev team can fix the LAG/DELAY in controls, the app will be (imo) perfect for play. The 1.6.1 and 1.7 version of the app don't have that lag/delay.
  Right now with that 1 second delay is impossible to play with my buggy (2 L motors and lightweight, is a fast buggy), MOC supercar (2XL motors, also fast), and the 9398 modded crawler (also fast).
  The lag/delay is present when you press the slider and when you release the slider (i don't test others resources, like joystick, buttons, etc). You press the slider and you have 1 sec until engine start to move, and then you release....there is 1 sec until the engine stop moving.  less
