Android Compatibility on 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth?

I've been eyeing this controller for quite a while and before jumping the gun I saw that it wasn't advertised as being compatible with Android for some reason despite having bluetooth.

Upon looking around I saw this post that said the bluetooth controller does not support D-Input, only X-Input. So it's partially compatible with Android as long as the game uses X-input.

Any thoughts on this? Does the Guilikit have the same problem?

Latest Firmware update log on the website for the 2.4ghz said

Firmware v2.00 <br> 1. Added the Bluetooth connection for Dinput mode.

Does that mean it supports Android on Bluetooth better now?

firmware update log for the ultimate Bluetooth was not the same.

For now the Ultimate Bluetooth version only officially supports the Nintendo Switch over Bluetooth :(

I hope they'll bring their more expensive version with Hall Effect joysticks up to the same features someday..
