*2026-07-16*

피드백도 레딧에 달면 하루만에 해줌 👍

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! I try to respond to feedback as quickly as possible, especially on Reddit. Your suggestions really help make Runa better!

### 5/5 — It has potential

*2026-07-16*

The emulator has plenty of customization and engine support but for some reason when I try to play a RPG maker XP game doesn’t boot up and close the app

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! I'm sorry to hear that. RPG Maker XP is supported, so this may be a compatibility issue with a specific game. Please let me know which game you're trying to run. You can contact me at kbsoft.support@gmail.com, and I'll investigate the issue and do my best to fix it as quickly as possible.

### 5/5 — Very Promising

*2026-07-07*

So far it’s been a stand out among the other RPGmaker emulators. Plenty of customization options and helpful features. The devs been very helpful with my game bug issues. It’s now my go-to for running VX Ace games.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the amazing review and for the 5 stars! It really means a lot.

I'm glad to hear Runa has become your go-to for playing VX Ace games. I'm also happy we were able to work through the bugs you encountered. Feedback like yours helps make Runa better for everyone.

Thanks again for your support, and I hope you continue to enjoy your favorite RPG Maker games with Runa!

### 4/5 — A first step for iPhone RPGs

*2026-08-23*

A true first step for RPGMaker games on iPhone opening the floodgates for people to enjoy fan games and full length original rpgs on mobile.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! That’s exactly what I was hoping Runa could help make possible. There are so many great RPGMaker games out there, and I’d love for more of them to find their way onto iPhone.

### 4/5 — Pokemon Insurgence Works

*2026-08-21*

Been looking everywhere for a RPG Maker game player that could run Pokemon insurgence and everything online said it was impossible on iOS. Runa thankfully not only can run it but runs it pretty well with minimal issues been playing the game fine enough. If yall removed the few bugs and issues that happen when I play insurgence this is an easy 5 star for anyone looking to play RPG Maker games on their phone. (Issues I had with Pokemon Insurgence) for some reason the move Thunder wave does not work and bugs out the game a little, and I cannot interact with the map or Pokemon detector. But besides that this is the only issue I’ve had so far.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the detailed feedback! I’m really glad Runa has been running Pokémon Insurgence well for you. The Thunder Wave and map/Detector issues you mentioned are both fixed in the next update. I’ll submit it to the App Store shortly.
Hope you can enjoy Insurgence with fewer issues soon!

### 4/5 — 还可以吧

*2026-08-06*

游戏有些加载后能玩，有些不能玩；能玩的游戏中途还闪退

**Developer response:** 感谢您的反馈！部分 RPG Maker 游戏使用了自定义脚本或插件，可能会导致兼容性问题。如果方便的话，请通过 Settings → Support 中的支持邮箱或 Discord 告诉我游戏名称（或发送一份游戏文件）。我会检查问题，并尽力在后续更新中提升对该游戏的兼容性。谢谢！

Thanks for your feedback! Some RPG Maker games use custom scripts or plugins that can cause compatibility issues. If you could send me the game name (or a copy of the game if possible) through the support email or Discord in Settings → Support, I'll take a look and do my best to get it working in a future update.

### 4/5 — Some flaws

*2026-08-04*

Needs a super speed mode feature. It also lacks the ability to switch save files.

**Developer response:** Thanks you for the feedback! The latest update adds a Fast Forward mode, allowing you to speed up gameplay. Save file switching is also planned for a future update. Thanks for your suggestion and support!

### 4/5 — My favorite RPG player on the App Store

*2026-08-02*

Im loving that I can finally play Pokémon rom hacks made on xp rpg maker, the games have a little lack to them but other then that they run really smooth. I can’t wait to see what future updates have in stored for this app.

**Developer response:** Thank you! I'm really glad you're enjoying Pokémon XP fangames on Runa.

Performance is something I'm continuously improving, and every update includes optimizations and compatibility fixes. There are also more features and engine improvements planned, so I hope you'll enjoy what's coming next. Thanks again for your support!

### 5/5 — Genuinely shocked this hasn’t blown up yet

*2026-08-23*

I’m currently in the middle of a Pokemon Reborn playthrough and aside from a few small bugs with speed up, the game runs flawlessly. It’s the best game I’ve ever played on my phone

**Developer response:** Thank you, Eric! Honestly, this made my day. Really glad Reborn is running well for you, and I hope you enjoy the rest of your playthrough! I’m still working on making things like speed-up a bit smoother too.

### 5/5 — 리뷰

*2026-08-14*

ios 어나더레드 실행 잘 되고, 비슷한 앱인 rpg player와 비교했을 때 가격도 2배 저렴한데 맵 로딩도 pc수준으로 적습니다. 
그리고 문의사항도 굉장히 빨리 답변해 줘서 모바일로 하실 분은 이쪽을 더 추천드립니다.

**Developer response:** 좋은 리뷰 남겨주셔서 정말 감사합니다! 어나더레드가 잘 실행되고 쾌적하게 플레이하셨다니 정말 기쁩니다. 추천까지 해주셔서 큰 힘이 됩니다. 앞으로도 더 많은 RPG Maker 게임과 더 나은 성능을 위해 계속 개선해 나가겠습니다. 즐거운 플레이 되세요!
