basically useless
this app is useless unless you have money, i just wanted to play some retro games and i have to pay i don’t know, $10 to play pac-man
and pong, which are games that are about 40+ years old and it’s not only for globally known arcade games, you also have to pay for trashy games that you would see on those cheap arcade gameboy looking things on amazon. waste of cash, waste of time, and a stupid way to play retro videogamesgoofygoofball1234567890
Awesome Product!
First, the subscription is very reasonable (and it’s been around awhile, so you shouldn’t be surprised by it). Second, the app works perfectly with zero crashes. Finally, BackBone controller support is also perfect, and much easier than on screen controls for many games. I’d love to see an Apple TV version, but I’m thrilled this is finally on iOS!
If there is room for improvement, maybe making the thumbnails in the menu a bit larger? It’s kinda hard to see each game on iPhone.jkeitz
Beware - Subscription Service Only & Seems Scammy
So while this app is free, you can’t play a thing unless you cough up at least $5 for a subscription. Without so much as having trials games (because if you have access to 1,300 licensed arcade games, how do you not offer a demo?) so you don’t even know how they play, this seems like a scam.
Even if it isn’t, y’all don’t just waltz up and ask for money out the gate without giving us a chance to try your product. Hard pass.V. Raven

Thanks for your feedback here, we've now introduced a free trial so you can check out Antstream.Poor controller support
Would love to rate this higher because the library is pretty impressive. I’m just upset that I can’t play anything with the Backbone one and retro games with touch controls just feel so unsatisfyingDevbr0s

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.Calaba.Ariel
