Fleedar is wrong

Fleedar is clearly lazy because the app is still usable even on iPhone, you have to tilt your phone. So, I don’t like this app, but it’s not unusable.

Good idea but has fundamental usability flaws

This looks like a fun clone of Pico-8! Unfortunately, the app can only be run in landscape mode, and rather than using the standard iOS keyboard for text entry, you’re forced to type on a bespoke keyboard that opens awkwardly in the center of the screen. These two issues make the app essentially unusable.
