User reviews

Dose not work on lightning port

Love the products they provide but dose not work with my phone even when updated. Also more of a note. I have 2 copies of earthbound one is the uncut repo and the app and the pc application both say it’s original. So keep that in mind for people who use this to test games.

Can’t get to work

Can never get the app to work with my operator - it powers on but it never connects in the app.

Awesome

Love my GB Operator

Love this app for collecting older games, but one major issue

This app is great and I love how detailed it is and how it will give me real values so I can compare when I am buying older games.

There is one issue I wish this app did, cataloguing games I own. It would be amazing if this app had a history feature or a way to note what games I own after verification. That way if I own an official copy or counterfeit copy I can look back and see how it has appreciated or if I own a counterfeit and find an official copy I know that without having to rely on my memory.

Works after firmware update but limited in scope

Works as advertised after a reinstall of Playback. But the app is limited to displaying what is only currently connected to the GB Operator. Perhaps in the future the ability to save cartridges to an in-app collection can be added?
