### 3/5 — Nintendo 64

*2026-01-25*

I have always loved Nintendo 64 games like the donkey Kong 64. So I was so excited to play it but every time I’m going straight it puts me into the ground the camera does and it makes it really hard to play the game. I would even keep my subscription but I’m not bc I can play that game.

**Developer response:** Thanks for sharing this. This  behaviour is  under investigation.

### 5/5 — Easy Setup, Great Results

*2026-01-17*

Quick to get started, stable performance, and comfortable controls. Works perfectly offline too.

**Developer response:** Appreciate the feedback!

### 5/5 — Retro library

*2026-01-17, version 1.1.4*

Games run consistently well, and switching cores is simple. Save states are a lifesaver.

### 2/5 — N64 Controls

*2026-01-17, version 1.1.4*

Playing the N64 core the buttons seem to not work properly. Example: on Ocarina of Time pushing the stick forward results in going into first person. The yellow buttons just do not work.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-01-16, version 1.1.4*

App doesn’t work on iPhone 16 no matter the console selected no games

### 5/5 — Perfect Little Emulator Hub

*2026-01-16, version 1.1.4*

Multiple cores,smooth performance,and quick saves all in one place. Super convenient

### 5/5 — Always smooth

*2026-01-15*

Consistent gameplay with responsive controls and instant saves. Never had issues so far.

**Developer response:** Thanks for sharing — responsive controls and instant saves are key goals.

### 5/5 — Great for Relaxing Play

*2026-01-15, version 1.1.4*

Runs Well offline, loads quickly, and feels comfortable to use anytime

### 1/5 — Pay and bugs

*2026-01-15*

I got the game to play when I saw it had nintendogs as a game. I grew up playing that game and wanted to revisit it, but the first thing the app did was try to make me pay twice.
Then once I actually got the game started, it asked me to do a voice prompt to name my dog like it used to on my Nintendo DSI but it wouldn’t register my voice no matter how loud or close to the screen I was. I checked the app settings to see if I needed to enable a microphone or something but there wasn’t even an option for it which means I can’t advance in the game if I can’t move past that point.
So overall, needs work.

**Developer response:** We appreciate the report. Voice input is not fully supported at the moment, and this limitation has been noted.

### 1/5 — Controls are terrible

*2026-01-15, version 1.1.4*

The control interaction areas are poorly placed. Tried and laying Super Mario 64 and couldn’t even get inside the castle. The touch screen functionality isn’t there. What controllers has everyone used for this to be successful? I really want this to work.

### 1/5 — Stole money

*2026-01-25, version 1.1.4*

The app took $5 from me and didn’t work no matter if I deleted or reinstalled it did not work I messaged support and they didn’t get back to me

### 1/5 — False advertisement

*2026-01-23, version 1.1.4*

It stated all these different games. In particular they stated they have the game “def jam” downloaded it and no they do not have the game. Don’t bother wasting you’re time downloading it 👍🏼

### 1/5 — Scam. Very disappointed.

*2026-01-23*

I seen this app on social media thinking it was a legit app. I bought a $40 one time plan. First off, It is not a thousand of games. It’s probably like 100. But that’s all right. I played the app for a few days. It worked fine then one day none of the games would work. It would just close the app completely. The customer support AI on the app. Told me to delete the app and re-download the app so I did. But when I clicked on the app after reinstalling it, I try to reactivate my plan, but all it says is, can’t find my account contact our customer service and every time I contact customer service nobody helps me so don’t bother with this app, nobody has been able to help me with my problem or have even try to reply to the emails. Don’t bother with this app. A Waste of money.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing this. Account access and stability issues are being investigated.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-01-23, version 1.1.4*

### 1/5 — False advertising

*2026-01-20, version 1.1.4*

Terrible. Leads you to believe you can play games on a pre loaded emulator but in fact you can’t play anything

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-01-20, version 1.1.4*

They trick you into thinking there are actually games on the app. Liars

### 1/5 — Misleading information

*2026-01-19, version 1.1.4*

This was a misleading app when you use it it link you to the game. When you purchase a plan, you lose the game . It’s only for trails that they have games . It’s a SCAM I WANT MY MONEY BACK. Apple pls

### 1/5 — Microphone access?

*2026-01-18, version 1.1.4*

Can’t progress past naming your new do on nintendogs because game doesn’t connect to microphone or have voice recognition enabled

### 1/5 — Lies

*2026-01-17, version 1.1.4*

Says supported consoles are in the description but it’s nowhere to be seen, also costs an absolute fortune to use

### 1/5 — pay

*2026-01-17, version 1.1.4*
