Found out about this and it only took like 5 mins to transfer all my games and saves across. Idk how but I selected one save to upload and all the others came across too, so cool! Devs are super helpful too, you have an issues or something isn’t working as expected, they look over it and try to give you a workout or fix. Just wish you could change the anime art a bit, gets a bit cringe sometimes 😋 Worth every dollar I spent!!!! ### 5/5 — 一直闪退 *2026-02-25* 第一天就没有这种情况 第二天就莫名其妙玩一会就闪退 ### 4/5 — Battery optimization *2026-02-20, version 1.3.3* Hi . First off a great app but is there a way to optimize its battery usage on my phone. Thank you ### 5/5 — Works good *2026-02-14* Been using this a few years now. Works good like 99% of the time. Sometimes there are crashes probably to do with ram memory issues on my iPad. Definitely recommend if you enjoy renpy games and don’t need to be stuck in front of a pc. My only concern is if it will continue to be updated with the latest RenPy versions. ### 4/5 — Update *2026-02-10, version 1.3.3* Please update for engine 8.5.2 ### 3/5 — Не работает *2026-01-27* Скачал 3 новеллы ни одна не заработала, 600₽ на ветер ### 5/5 — Works perfectly on iPad *2026-01-24* Had huge problems getting Renpy content to get to work on my iPad - no longer. ### 5/5 — Great app, just needs one more thing *2026-01-10* Love this app. It would be awesome if could set custom game covers. It would make the library look much more organized. Hope you can add this in a future update. ### 5/5 — 没毛病 *2025-12-27* 基本差不多都可以玩，偶尔有 bug 存在 ### 3/5 — needs better customization *2025-12-26* Everything is great — the emulator is excellent, and all the visual novels I’ve tried run perfectly! That said, there are a few minor issues with the presentation. It would be really nice to have more customization options for the novel screens: the ability to add custom icons, and to use PNG images instead of the AI-generated anime girls. Aesthetics always matter, and it would be great to be able to style the novel pages to suit your own taste. ### 4/5 — Works well some minor bugs *2025-12-16* The app will run most novels however, a bug I noticed is that sound doesn’t work on any of the novels. It may be due to the newer iOS but noticed apps that had sound no longer do. ### 4/5 — Darn near perfect *2025-12-14, version 1.3.3* Able to run most VNs I through at it - including android ones - to a playable degree! There are no IAPs and it’s very intuitive (even letting you import saves) 2 issues When playing ‘Doki Doki Literature Club’, or modifications of it (including modifications that upgrade the renpy version to one supported by this app), when using the windows version, the text is noticeably too big, overreaching the bounding box Katawa shoujo doesn’t work (expected, as the app never advertises renpy 6 compatibility). It is worth noting that Katawa Shoujo re engineered runs flawlessly ### 4/5 — 1 *2025-12-05* 内存很奇怪，30g的游戏却有70g流量，这是什么情况 ### 3/5 — 一直提示导入失败 *2025-12-01* 在b站看过好多方法了，就是不行 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 导入游戏失败 *2025-12-26* 为啥用电脑解压出来可以玩，用压缩包导入却显示失败 ### 1/5 — Constant crashes *2025-12-23, version 1.3.3* Crashes every 5-10 minutes ### 1/5 — Recent updates causing crashes? *2025-12-19* I’m getting regular crashes with “out of memory” errors when playing. Never had this issue before. Solution please? ### 1/5 — 开发者请看 *2025-12-03* 为啥更新版本了，闪退的这么厉害！可以麻烦您优化一下吗？以前也没有闪退过呀？？？？？ ### 1/5 — New update ruins some old games *2025-11-07* Was trying to get back into a game I like playing in my free time, realized the app would crash whenever I tried to open it and then and tried another game and couldn’t open that either. **Developer response:** Hello, this issue has been addressed in update 1.3.3. I apologize for the inconvenience. ### 1/5 — needs to be updated *2025-09-19, version 1.3.0* can’t play visual novels that run on newer renpy versions ### 1/5 — 宝子们看清楚了再下载 *2025-08-17* 我当时就是没看清楚就下载了，结果还扣了我48，还有不要相信网上那写下载什么游戏的教程，它会让你下载各种软件，特别麻烦。 ### 1/5 — 就只有几个游戏可以导入其他基本玩不了 *2025-07-26* 好多游戏都不能导入进去 ### 1/5 — Mi experiencia *2025-06-26, version 1.3.0* La aplicación me pareció muy buena, funciona bien y la experiencia en general es excelente. Sin embargo, algo que sí me gustaría señalar es el alto consumo de batería. Empecé a jugar con un 80% y en solo una hora ya estaba en 20%, lo cual me parece un gasto excesivo en tan poco tiempo. Esto me preocupa, ya que con el uso frecuente podría afectar la vida útil de la batería de mi celular. Ojalá puedan optimizar este aspecto en futuras actualizaciones. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work, always crashing *2025-06-06, version 1.3.0* Same as browser Renou, crashing on iPad all the time ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome as hell *2026-07-06* I thought it wouldn’t work, surprised me when i did. Honestly 100% worth getting ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-27, version 1.3.6* Works amazingly out of the box, more reliable than the others I have tested. Only unfortunate thing is the battery drain. 99% of games tested have worked, often most errors are fixed by changing the device type to touch/web/mobile. ### 5/5 — 鼠标功能怎么用？ *2026-06-19* 没有鼠标功能吗？因为这个卡关了。 ### 5/5 — It just keeps getting better *2026-06-16* The app development has come so far that I can play any game I want with next to non bugs at all. ### 5/5 — 模拟器 *2026-05-26* 好用，大部分renpy引擎的游戏都能完美运行 ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-05-25* Really good app but I’ve had times where some VN don’t load or it just crashes whenever I try n load but 99% of them work well ### 5/5 — Well worth the money. *2026-04-16* While there are occasional issues with a given VN, Spark does a great job in general and the developer is diligent and responsive on the app’s Discord server. Over the time I’ve used the app, it has gone for good to excellent and I see no signs of that upward trajectory slowing down any time soon. ### 5/5 — Приложение супер *2026-03-28* Единственный момент, даже если разрешить игре доступ в интернет, эта функция к сожалению не работает:( ### 5/5 — 간헐적으로 번역이 안되는 오류 매우 많긴하나 *2026-03-13* 안드로이드, ios 통뜰어서 렌파이 뷰어앱중 최고 투명 텍스트 박스 모드, 자동 번역 지원, 개편리한 ui 출시해준게 감사할정도입니다 아이폰 유저면 꼭 사세요 제발 ### 5/5 — Гугле транслите *2026-03-13* За авто-переводчика респект! Продолжайте развивать свое приложение! **Developer response:** Здравствуйте, эта проблема была решена в обновлении 1.3.3. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
