Спасибо за возможность играть в DCSS на айпаде!

**Developer response:** Спасибо за ваш отзыв. Пожалуйста, сам давно хотел, но лицензия не позволяла. А с помощью такого финта ушами — вполне 😎

### 1/5 — Bad

*2025-09-08*

Trash app it doesn’t work on any safari sites and not even on play! Emulator that was my main purpose to buy it

### 2/5 — It’s alright

*2025-08-27*

Dosent have the @ symbol which I need

### 5/5 — Nice for Dungeon Crawl

*2025-07-18*

EDIT: the issue I original wrote below seems to have sorted itself out. Seems to be working fine now. Not sure what that was before. Thanks for the great app!

For some reason the keyboard will not show unless I set the extension permission to “Ask”, I open the keyboard in safari it asks for permission and I’m good to go once I allow it. But after that, next time I use safari it stops working. Keyboard won’t show unless I set the permission back to “ask” and then regrant permission. Minor annoyance.

**Developer response:** Glad to hear it works! 😁

That's strange: just rested on https://crawl.akrasiac.org:8443/#play-dcss-git and after a page refresh I push menu button in Safari -> ScreenPad -> DCSS and the keyboard appears. Can you please provide the URL you're playing at?

### 3/5 — Does not work in Haxball

*2025-03-02*

Key presses do not work in Haxball, if you could fix this I’d be so happy! Also I’d like a gamepad exactly like the one in Puffin Browser (which also doesn’t work for this game).

### 3/5 — Doesn't work

*2024-09-06*

Key presses on the overlay don't register on the page. EDIT: Key presses don't work on retroapplejs dot github dot io, but the PCEjs emulator by jamesfriend *does* register them.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review. Can you please provide a URL and a way you try to interact with the page and what doesn't work. Thank you in advance.
