Great app! Only suggestion is that I’d like to be able to zoom into the game boxes and magazine adds to better see the detail and read them better

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback! We'll be adding this very soon. We implemented this for screenshots in the most recent update.

Update paywalled my purchases

Update: contacted the developer and they fixed my issue

It has been a couple of months since I opened my app and lo and behold my NES library got paywalled by an upgrade I already paid for when I first bought the app! This is anti-consumerism at its worst
