  • Why isn’t there a trial

    I want to try this but don’t want to pay anything unless I know it’ll run well. It’s 2024. Where’s the trial?

  • Excellent app, works perfectly with Backbone game controller!!

    Excellent app, and fantastic application support! At this point, I’ve only played one of its included games (Space Invaders), and it’s been a joy (Space Invaders is just how I remember it, with authentic game sounds). The app works perfectly with the Backbone game controller (no issues whatsoever). It’s so nice to be able to play so many included games from my youth, and I look forward to exploring the app’s vast assortment of games! A ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ app in my opinion!
  • Doesn't seem to work with game controllers

    I've tried two different types of game controllers and both failed after five to ten seconds of play.

    UPDATE to first review: After a couple of weeks of frustration, I discovered that the problem is connected to the use of a VPN service. When my iPad Pro is connected to a VPN service, regardless of the vpn server's location, game controllers work fine in Antstream's menu system but fail within five to ten second of game play. When the VPN service is shut off, the controllers works as expected. I've revised my rating from 1-star to 4-stars.

    Hi, the app fully supports controllers including the Backbone one - sorry to hear this is not working for you. Could you please raise a support request at https://antstre.am/support we'd like to rectify this asap!
  • No way to sample

    Seriously? I can’t play a single game until I jump thru all your registration hoops and subscribe? NOT A SINGLE GAME‽ thanks for wasting my time. Now go away.

  • The definitive way to play retro games

    Antstream allows you to not only play retro games legally and comfortably but it also adds fresh takes to these old games by adding extra content like challenges, online leaderboards and more. A must for every retro game fan
  • Just amazing!

    Such a great experience, huge collection of hits! Well worth the money, highly recommend.
  • brings back memories

    Honestly for five bucks a month it’s a great deal definitely worth it
  • Love this

    Best thing to come around. Don’t know why people are complaining games run smooth and whoever said you can’t use the backbone controller is a liar because I use mine all the time and no issue. Keep up the great work devs
  • Not worth it

    Don’t waste your money it’s too laggy the games freeze a lot
