Ratings and Reviews
Not there yet…
You would expect it to be polished on release for a premium app. I appreciate the work of the developer and would have no issue paying £5 for the app if it were fully functional. Other emulators (Delta) are free and provide a much better experience. Some features have been improved and added since I purchased, however I am now encountering new issues with the 1.4 update. Playing on iPhone 14 Max and had been experiencing low FPS and audio stutter before update but not constantly (had to tweak settings A LOT). Performance has suffered massively with new update, game runs very slowly and audio stutter is now pretty much constant. App also severely drains battery and causes phone overheating after ~20 minutes to the point I can’t hold the device as it gets too hot. Not sure how that can be improved on though, it’s a very intensive app to run (as to be expected). Quite a shame as this app could be great but feels like it was released too early, especially at a premium price point. Looking forward to future updates with hopefully improved performance and functionality.
Needs testing
I refrained from writing a review before as I generally had good experiences with this app before it was on the app store. That being said, when updates are constantly breaking basic functionality (and in the newest update's case, literally make it unusable) it becomes obvious something somewhere is going horribly wrong. Hope it gets better in the future but don't hold your breath. Not worth the money currently as nice as the concept is
1.7 just crashes every time on startup
The first time I ran the new version it asked me to Sign in with Apple , after doing that the app crashed and now crashes every time I try to start it
