One more update to “perfection”

This recent update (sometime within the last few days) + previous update boosted performance a lot!! For context, I have 13 pro max, usually play pokemon omega ruby & ultra moon & occasionally Spider-Man edge of time (purely to test max performance). Only problem is now when I try to use backbone controller the screen goes black. Before, it would show on screen controller with this plugged in, and before that controller-functioning was perfect but the games lagged. So basically the update was 2 steps forward, 1 step back. I’m thinking one more update to fix controller compatibility will make this emulator close to perfect.

The update makes control pad a joke

I had been playing Pokémon X for the past couple of weeks after buying the app, aside from the pretty regular, out of the nowhere crashes of the whole app, it was too pretty great. And the controls weren’t bad, until this new update. When I try to select the deep pad down button, and when I try to select the B button, it has an extreme delay, which makes you miss opportunities in playing the game. There is some form of overlay problem on the bottom half of the screen, I am playing on an iPhone SE 2022, but this is a joke. Plus every time I press a button now it has haptics that jiggle, and no one ask for that. And as far as I can tell, there’s no way to turn it off, which I really would love to do, it’s extremely irritating and distracting. Please fix the down button on the deep pad, and the B button delays and tell me how to remove these terrible haptics. If you’re going to do an update release, do through testing, I paid money for this, that means I paid money for you to do your job right. Which you are not.

kinda works

shouldn’t charge $5 for an app that only kinda works on an iphone 14. lots of performance issues. isn’t optimized at all. but i mean at least the games run (kinda). also the joystick location is stupid and annoying and doesn’t make for a very enjoyable experience. for some reason only half of the A button works too, and if you press too far to the right, the device gives you haptic feedback like you’re pushing it, but the input isn’t registered. i originally gave this app 3 stars but lowered it to 2 after playing for more than an hour and realized how frequent crashes are (every 5-10 minutes regardless of my settings). i will give this a better review if they fix the horrendous issues with this app, but until then, don’t buy this garbage.
