I don’t know if anyone else has had this issue with this app, but I personally wouldn’t recommend downloading it. I could understand a virus from some website you were trying to get an emulator game from but this is an app off the store. This wasn’t something I expected to happen. ### 1/5 — Too hard to import game *2026-08-03, version 1.20.4* It so hard to import @ game ### 1/5 — Psp *2026-07-30, version 1.20.4* The app is so stupid ### 1/5 — Ppsspp-psp *2026-05-16, version 1.20.3* Games many ### 1/5 — confusing *2026-05-01, version 1.20.3* can not figure out how to get to the game downloads ### 1/5 — Mds *2026-03-21* E um lixo nem instala ### 1/5 — Problemas com emulador *2026-03-11* O meu psp não aceita mais de um toque na tela está impossível jogar desse jeito ### 1/5 — Screen control stopped responding *2026-03-11, version 1.20.1* I don’t know what happened, but one day when I opened this app to play a game as usual, screen controls (circle, triangle, square, and X) response is super late or won’t even respond during play. ### 1/5 — Da tela preta no iPhone *2026-03-11* Simplesmente não entra, eu já baixei coisas nele e não tô muito afim de baixar novamente, otimizar é bom para os ios. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — LOVE IT but one problem tho… *2026-08-31, version 1.20.4* So i got this to play parapa the rapper on and when i hit the note on beat the game thinks that i missed it it might be a skill issue but still thaks ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-31, version 1.20.4* Thanks so much please do more if possible for other consoles ### 5/5 — Thank you *2026-08-25, version 1.20.4* Nice ### 5/5 — Приложение класс *2026-08-24, version 1.20.4* Приложение класс, но добавьте возможность скачивать его на MacBook 13pro (2019). ### 5/5 — FARD *2026-08-23, version 1.20.4* AHHHH FARD ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2026-08-22, version 1.20.4* So thankful for this emulator. Because of PPSSPP, I was able to download my ISOs from my old PSP memory stick and load them onto my iPad. I can now play my favorite games from growing up using this app and my PS5 controller. Glad to donate to the developers <3 ### 5/5 — good *2026-08-04, version 1.20.4* i was able to play gran turismo psp smoothly.

I LOVE this app and it deserves all the recognition it can get. ### 5/5 — got to play some of my ace combat games with this *2026-07-24, version 1.20.4* Thanks for bringing this to iOS, I finally get to play 2 Ace Combat games on the PSP with this emulator --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
