DREAM COME TRUE! — It does what it says it will.

I never write reviews. But I had to for this.

It does what it says it does. Runs DOS on iPad!!!! I’ve been playing all of the games from my childhood, and they work EXACTLY THE SAME. 120% recommend this app!!!

Very hard to use

I read dos apps but it is very inconsistent. Very hard to find the right dos packages. Could be apple’s iPod fault It keeps making copies. Of the iDOS package!

Super!

Auf iPad mit norton Commander kommt richtiges Retro feeling auf.
Folders Mount ist richtig gut.
Schwierig ist es wenn man mehrere Disketten .img hat und davon installieren möchte aber 95% der dos Spiele laufen auf Anhieb :-)
Ein Traum für mich. Da kann man die Erinnerung aufleben lassen
