### 3/5 — Still Got A Bug

*2026-06-04, version 3.6.9*

I’m trying to check out The Adventures of Tintin for the PS3, but the checkout page appears blank. You guys have a lot of great stuff though. Love your YouTube vids.

### 4/5 — Messager in the app

*2026-03-31, version 3.6.7*

I would love to message the owner just to see if I could get a soul silver I trust him by just watching his YouTube videos but I really don’t want to be ripped off I want a fair price. And a way to communicate with someone from the store on the app would be really cool.

### 2/5 — Way to many notifications

*2026-02-04*

I like the app but it’s constantly blowing up my phone

### 2/5 — Good But…

*2026-02-01*

The app itself is great but the fact that the inventory in the app isn’t anywhere as extensive as the inventory I see in the shorts on YouTube is sad. I’ve seen so many things that I would love to buy but can’t since I live nowhere near the store. Hopefully one day the inventory will be as extensive.

### 4/5 — My honest opinion

*2026-01-31*

I’m new to retro game sellers so take what I’m saying with a pinch of salt but I love the app it has almost everything I want. The only thing I wish it had was a personal request(commission) option in the app where you would spend more to get what you wanted if it isn’t available but other than that whoever designed the app deserves a raise

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review, and for the kind words. I'll ask Jake about that raise  :D

### 3/5 — Stock update time

*2025-12-16*

Ordered a PS2 and an assortment of games. 48hrs after completing the order, I was notified that all but two of my items were out of stock. I double checked the availability of the items before placing the order, but I was informed that the app doesn’t update stock availability in real time. That’s understandable to have system delay, and the staff was extremely kind and helpful; but, it was disappointing and I’m hesitant to place future orders not knowing if the items I selected will actually be available. Hopefully this feature can be updated in the future as it’s an awesome store and I’d love to purchase from them.

### 3/5 — Great customer care

*2025-08-27*

The only down side is the app signs you out every other day.
But besides that great prices great people.

### 5/5 — Great games. Great prices.

*2025-07-29*

Finally a retro gaming place with fair prices and great customer service👌🏾👌🏾. You guys are amazing 🙏🏾

**Developer response:** Thanks for leveling up with us!

### 5/5 — So HAPPY!

*2025-07-16*

PRICES ARE AMAZING! I even called to confirm some things and Jake gave me all the info I needed and more! Thanks for the new PS3 coming from Houston! 🙌🏻🤘🏻

### 5/5 — Great Service

### 1/5 — Incorrect and missing cords

*2026-07-07*

Purchased a Nintendo 64 and was very excited about it as I’ve wanted to relive the glory days a little bit. But the AV cable came with RCA connectors on both sides so I can’t even plug it into the console. In addition the power supply cord was from NTSC region (rectangle port) while console is from PAL region (D shaped port). Now I need to spend even more money to hopefully get it all working together.

### 1/5 — U have to go threw string to even use the ads they so they can shove there ads in your face. Just

*2026-04-10*

Go to sky oldies or game flip there apps aren’t as complicated and they work

### 1/5 — Needs more Photos

*2026-03-24*

I like the TikTok’s this guys posts but as for the buying from the website I am hesitant. The video games don’t let you know if it’s cib or loose copies and there’s no photos to verify if it’s cib or disk/cart only. There’s no photos of the physical item they’re selling just a google image which is fine for most stuff but for items that are hundreds of dollars it would be nice to have a photo of what you’re buying

### 1/5 — The worse

*2026-03-10*

I got my system late and then they send me dirty remote I will never order from them again

**Developer response:** We're sorry you had a bad experience. We're doing our best to keep up with the orders, and we're constantly striving to improve.

### 1/5 — It a scam still waiting for my order I have emailed the guy no response ima contact my bank

*2026-02-20, version 3.6.4*

Sucks

### 1/5 — Empty app

*2026-02-12, version 3.6.1*

Can’t find anything on your app tbh

### 1/5 — Wayyyy too many notifications

*2026-02-09, version 3.6.1*

every 3 hours sends notifications of the most pointless messages same code JAKE15. way too over priced on literally everything

### 1/5 — Trouble handling success?

*2026-02-07, version 3.6.1*

I love the YouTube content, and thought I would try out this seemingly reputable dealer as the store seems quite popular.  Just called to check on an order placed last week as (2) separate emails went unanswered. Young lady stated she is currently 200 online orders behind and not to expect any tracking or shipment info for at least 3-4 more days.  Wouldn’t be that big of a deal if the communication were better, however the only communication is the cryptic bot messages saying Jake doesn’t have admin access, but still plugging the 15% discount.  Hope to hear something concrete soon.

### 1/5 — Predatory

*2026-01-31*

This app sends too many notifications! It’s non stop and way too much as much as I love Jacob this app has to go! It takes his good name and makes it just clickbait trash!

**Developer response:** Sorry about that, we've found a bug in the notification settings, and we're working on a fix. In the meantime, browse our shop at retrojakesonline.com for no-notification shopping.

### 2/5 — No stock

*2026-05-26, version 3.6.8*

There is almost nothing in stock
