Bulk import

Please fix bulk import. It always freezes when I try to use it. Or add a feature where I can set a file path and it automatically imports from those files when added to

I want to put 5 stars.

I love this app, I’ve played many games on it and enjoyed it endlessly. I pay for the premium subscription and Recently it just won’t start DS games. I’ve tried everything I can think of and just can’t get it to work. The second it does work this will be bumped to 5 stars as I do love this app.

iOS app is just busted

The web app and the Mac app are fine but the iOS app just shows placeholder thumbnails and none of my games do anything when tapped - tried on both an iPad and iPhone.

Really a shame since outside the bugs this is such a nicely polished cross platform experience- but it’s literally unusable on my account on iPhone and iPad.
