### 1/5 — USE ANYTHING ELSE

*2026-02-21*

Every time you wnat to play you should have online connection to play put on their website codes put it on the game which is so dumb and even worse it doesn’t save them you need to do this every time you play and what you get? No sound trans controller use retro arch or prance anything else

### 1/5 — Worst way to play Atari 2600 games on iOS

*2025-07-23*

You can’t load the rom manually like every emulator that does, you have to go to a separate website, upload the rom, copy the encode from the website and paste the encode in the app. And the worst part, you can’t hear anything because there’s no sound.

### 5/5 — Amazing!!

*2025-06-27*

Idk why this is so low! 
It was easy to load on all the games and the sound works too!

### 2/5 — Roms??

*2025-02-06*

Doesn’t have link or anything to get roms.  Few can play are lame

### 1/5 — cant get anything to play on it

*2025-01-26*

no ROMs i doenload seem to work , even after following the youtube videos . 
Probably down to Apple but like every other emulator on IOS it is completely useless

### 1/5 — would be five star

*2024-12-22*

this would be five star if you put pitfall in it

### 2/5 — Too complicated to use

*2024-09-02*

Why the hell would you make user paste .bin file’s contents instead of just reading it from the file manager?

### 1/5 — Where’s compatible ROMs?

*2024-07-15*

I watched their videos and it’s super vague about where to download compatible ROMs.
