User reviews

Can’t even use the app in this state

I play on an iPhone, there is no “drag and drop” functionality. Please add a file import function (very easy, I’m a dev - happy to help) so people can use it on a phone. Will reduce rating if not fixed, increase if I can actually use app and give a fair review.

Response from developer

To import your games You can use File app together with the folder ArcadeBox. Copy your file into the ArcadeBox folder.

Just crashes on launch

Presume not compatible with ios18 !

Response from developer

It is an operating system bug. If ArcadeBox automatically closes on startup, please reboot your device.
