Great library support
The USB Host library works seamlessly with this board. I was able to read HID devices within minutes of unpacking.

Documentation lacking
Hardware is fine and functions as expected, but the included manual could be more detailed for beginners.

Essential for ADK
If you are doing Android Open Development Kit projects with Arduino, this is the shield to get. Reliable connection.

Good shield, power note
Works well but note that high-power USB devices might need external power sourcing. Otherwise, great value for the price.
