### 5/5 — Actually works

*2024-03-27*

Every other emulator I tried would connect to our AS400 but I couldnt use the menus correctly, this one actually works properly, highly recommend!!!

### 2/5 — Not good enough for the price

*2012-05-15*

This app looks like it will work well once it is complete.  For the moment there are entirely too many keys simply not available.

### 2/5 — Great interface, no English

*2011-07-07*

I love the interface, however I'm requesting that the greenscreen (5250 emulator) shows up in English, it only shows up in chinese. Please fix, I'm looking for an alternative to Mochasoft TN5250
