Can’t Unlock it

Can’t use the app because it requires unlocking. But in the T&C screen a keyboard pops up covering where the accept box must be so there is no way to accept the terms and conditions and use the app.

Very dissatisfied

Totally agree with other reviews, a rip off. Having bought the collections once already I was somewhat miffed to find the package re-branded and the expectation to pay once again. No chance, keep your app.

Ripped off

Already paid for and own all of the titles but I am now being asked to fork out for them again after coming back to play after a long time out!i thought once you paid for something you own it?obviously not with these sharks!! Not happy!

No infinite lives & forced repurchase

Had the previous version of the game for the older iOS which offered the cheat option of playing with infinite lives. Had to buy the game again when Apple upgraded their iOS and now there isn’t an a cheat play option. It’s disgusting that Apple allows this to happen. I’m going to ask for a refund.

Please change the control positions, then it's 5 star

The idea is great.
But please change the positions of the controls. It's difficult to use them. It's stopping me purchasing the full game.

More bandwagon jumping by Elite?

Bit coincidental that on the week the spectrum reaches 35 years old and the Spectrum NEXT receives 250k of crowd funding and is on all the major news sites that Elite decide to put this app back on the store. Wonder if the developers will get paid for the game sales this time around?

Oh and a bit about the app itself. Limited number of games available, broken promises of packs being added regularly, and better spectrum emulators available

Update: you can’t even use it on an iPhone to unlock your keyboard because a pop up keyboard which cannot be removed covers the unlock button.

Sham of a scam

So instead of updating their old app where I have purchased every collection, these scammers have made a new app and are charging for the games again.
Terrible behaviour from a company such as elite .

Another person who doesn't want to buy this again

Paid for the original game bundle of 100 games and it was taken off the iPad store, the games reappear on this app with the same company but I'm not allowed to have access to them again . Won't pay again as it might happen again, I know you can back up apps on a pc but who does this or who has the time when Apple do it for you?

BRING BACK CHAOS (WIZARDS)

Please please please bring back the game chaos (it used to be called wizards). Elite games released this as a stand-alone app which no longer works very sad.

Great app and best ZX reproduction so far...

The app is great, also has pixel filter option to get a more 80s (lightly blurry) screen effect.

The app and they keyboard reproduce the ZX perfectly (this means you need to know the ZX before you can enjoy this app at the fullest).

The only thing I wish they would add is rotating screen on the main interface as well as a "go back" button to make it simpler to change games.

Some review reported that Jetset Will stays on loading screen forever, this because the user haven't tried to press ENTER button on the loading screen etc... So if you had an original ZX this app (and the keyboard) is definitely what you want. But, if you never owned a ZX, then you probably want to go for some other emulators with commands on screen and such to help non ZX users.
