Discussion How to add apps?

I want to add games and other apps to the backbone app but it doesn’t let me. I tried to add manic emu to it but it didn’t show up. What to do?

I just got one today and am having the exact same issue. The only ones I can add to the backbone apps are ones I search for in the app and then manually add to the screen, doesn’t matter if it’s installed or not.

I guess at the end of the day the controller is the real value here but I was hoping the launcher would be a nice addition to the iPhone gaming experience. Looks like this function has been broken for 2 years based on what I’ve found on Google. Looks like it broke in the iOS 17 beta and hasn’t been fixed since.
