Huh ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2017-03-13, version 1.0.1* First off, app doesn't work, there are ZERO instructions to setup in the download of remote server itself or from MSI's website. Secondly, app hasn't been updated in YEARS. App is still configured (and looks like) to use iPhone 3GS at the most recent. If running on a newer device, you will get an error message saying it hasn't been updated for compatibility and will slow your phone down. Doesn't matter if you open the required ports and use the correct IP, have all current versions of Afterburner pc app, and iPhone app, and remote server, it will just timeout indefinitely. Skip this app. ### 1/5 — Abandoned and Left for Dead *2017-01-04, version 1.0.1* Lower your expectations... immediately... this app has been abandoned and left for dead. ### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK! *2016-12-17, version 1.0.1* keep getting "The request had timed out" ### 1/5 — Needs an update badly *2016-11-29, version 1.0.1* This app is basically useless. ### 2/5 — PLEASE UPDATE THE APP!!!! *2016-11-12, version 1.0.1* I doesn't seem to work properly maybe cause IT ISNT UPDATED FOR 5 YEARS NOW, Please update the. App for will be stable again. ### 1/5 — Avoid. *2016-10-31, version 1.0.1* App hasn't been updated in years and ratio on screen is distorted. Will let you monitor stats, but force closes if you try to alter anything on the overclock tab. Not worth the hassle. ### 1/5 — Why even advertise this? *2016-10-27, version 1.0.1* I saw this when I went to re-download MSI afterburner for my PC and it was advertised full page like it was a huge new thing! MSI be like: "are you still using that old Bates 4000?!? You need the all new Bates 5000!!" I was like: "wow, that is newer! Thanks!" But the I got home and downloaded it and realized it's made for iPhone 3GS.. no Retina display support.. doesn't fit screen correctly... doesn't work... no instructions.. or information... you know things that make an app worth having been developed in the first place. Oh an you get a message first thing that says "this app will slow down your iPhone!" And the developer needs to patch the app or something like that.. Annnnnnnnd it's GONE! Poof! Deleted. ### 1/5 — IOS 5? WHAT IS THIS 2005? *2016-10-16, version 1.0.1* GUYS YOU NEED TO UPDATE THIS APP. ### 1/5 — doesn't work *2016-08-07, version 1.0.1* doesn't work at all ### 1/5 — Crashes *2016-08-02, version 1.0.1* App only works for a few minutes and then crashes ### 1/5 — IF YOU CAME HERE TO SCREEN RECORD READ BELOW *2016-07-30, version 1.0.1* This deosnt screen record I'm sorry but that's what I came for ### 1/5 — Broken *2016-06-30, version 1.0.1* It isn't even sized right for a iPhone 6 or 6s I have a half inch gap from the top and bottom of the screen. It won't connect to my computer. But it was a good idea 😢. I hope they fix it. The last update was support for iOS 5...(that says it all) ### 1/5 — Terribly optimized *2016-05-31, version 1.0.1* Looks like bloody iOS 6 ### 3/5 — Can you update *2016-05-25, version 1.0.1* I would really like you guys to up date it the overclock doesn't work ### 1/5 — Terrible *2016-05-03, version 1.0.1* Hasn't been updated in half a decade. ### 2/5 — This need an update. *2016-04-07, version 1.0.1* Please update this msi ### 1/5 — no internetconnection *2016-04-04, version 1.0.1* it would say no internet connection When im close to the internet and at 3bars ### 3/5 — Great concept... *2016-02-26, version 1.0.1* This app is a great idea that was never finished. The app is very unstable now and is useless for overclocking. The only thing you can do is monitor your system or the app will crash. I think if MSI got back on it instead of the last update being in 2011 the app would be more up to date and function! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Please update *2020-03-16, version 1.0.1* Please update ### 1/5 — Now updates what’s wrong msi? *2019-05-23, version 1.0.1* No updates for this app ### 1/5 — Please update the app *2019-01-29, version 1.0.1* App doesn’t work with iOS 11+, please update. ### 1/5 — This app is bad *2018-02-06, version 1.0.1* This app don’t work like I thought it would ### 1/5 — Needs to be updated *2017-09-10, version 1.0.1* Don't download, needs to be updated. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2017-09-09, version 1.0.1* Does not work after ios 5. Needs to be updated. ### 1/5 — Same Rubbish *2017-08-31, version 1.0.1* One star to write a review. Same rubbish as all MSI apps will not connect to pc. Contacted customer support via email and reply was just badly translated gibberish. ### 1/5 — Not qorking very well *2017-07-09, version 1.0.1* It doesn't fit the iphone 5 screen and it crash when you switch ti overclocking ### 1/5 — Non app *2017-06-01, version 1.0.1* Doesn't work, doesn't have any instructions, doesn't fit the screen, doesn't do anything except say "request timed out". ### 1/5 — *Please Update* *2017-04-07, version 1.0.1* Please Update this app for newer users with updated phones! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — iOS 11 update needed *2018-08-29, version 1.0.1* This is a great real-time solution for monitoring pc stats. Unfortunately with how Apple ditching 32bit programs has left it dead and the author needs to update it to 64bit ### 5/5 — This is fantastic *2015-07-27, version 1.0.1* I love this app because I love seeing my computers CPU usage and so forth, I prefer the app over the on screen display. Only problem is my app crashes each time I try to over clock from the app. (Iphone 4S) ### 5/5 — Awsome *2013-11-02, version 1.0.1* Before i bought an msi card i was continuously alttabing out of games to check My system usage and temps. Now its eight in front of me. Only thing that the program soesnt show is cpu temps. Overclocking theough the phone doesnt work either but i dont care. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2012-04-20, version 1.0.1* Great app! And please, I beg you, trust me when I say that the reason it doesn't work for some of you is because you don't know 100% how to do it. Please, trust me. ### 5/5 — Nice app *2012-03-11, version 1.0.1* Works great If you get errors try to turn your firewall off ### 5/5 — Great! *2012-01-07, version 1.0.1* Anyone getting time out errors your firewall is block port 80. Works great once set up, overclocking in real time while playing a game is useful and turning the fan down while watching a movie. ### 5/5 — Great app *2011-12-12, version 1.0.1* Works great for me. Took a few minute to remember how to find my ip address. (cmd prompt - ipconfig) Haven't tested it much yet. But it works, adjusted the o/c and monitored the stats in game. Works great. ### 5/5 — Nice APP *2011-12-03, version 1.0.1* A very handy APP for tweaking & monitoring my graphic card ### 4/5 — OC iPad?? *2015-09-17, version 1.0.1* When I first saw this app I was like, "No F-in way, I can overclock my tablet lol. Of corse I got ahead of myself lol. Great app so far though. ### 4/5 — Crash on overclock *2015-09-05, version 1.0.1* App crashes when over clock page is opened --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
