09 / GOOD TO KNOW

A few more details.

Is this the former Remote Access feature?

Yes. Ascendara Companion is the new name for the mobile experience previously called Remote Access. The name reflects what it does: keep your Ascendara library and downloads within reach.

Do I need to install a mobile app?

No. Companion runs in your phone’s browser. If you’d like it to feel like an app, add it to your home screen from your browser’s share or menu options.

Does my desktop need to stay online?

Yes. Ascendara needs to be running on your desktop to report downloads and launch games. If it goes offline, Companion lets you know and shows when it last connected.

Can Companion start new downloads?

Not yet. Companion can pause, resume, and cancel downloads already in your queue. Start new downloads from Ascendara on your desktop, then follow them from your phone.

Where can I learn how Companion works?

Companion is open source. Explore the source code on GitHub or read the developer documentation using the links below.
