The app is amazing

I can emulate Debian via the UTM gallery and it is amazing. Would recommend

You need much more than it gives the impression

If you’re looking at the images in the listing and thinking you’ll be able to just install this app and start playing Oregon Trail, then you’re sadly mistaken. You’ll have to install the app, then you’ll have to download an image, then you’ll have to find an OS .iso and download that, and then you’ll no doubt have product key issues, etc.

Which isn’t to say all that isn’t doable, but if you’re hoping for a simple install-and-play retro emulator, this is not the platform you’re looking for.

Had to restart my progress over again… so annoying

I’m giving this ONE STAR since the Windows XP thing I did AT 11PM and finished at 12:30PM, I thought it would save my progress. BUT NO. INSTEAD IT FKING LET ME RESTART MY GODDAMN SETUP so I’m never downloading this again. Farewell, utm SE

Good but also Bad

My iPhone 17 Pro Max ran Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 good, but Vista, 7, 8, and 8.1 are slow (Apple removed iOS/iPadOS JIT), but if I try XP, the XP BSoDs.

I waste my whole week to install ubuntu and one problem solved there’s another appears wasted app

Nothing

macOS runs so well

Despite this app not having JIT support, macOS 9 runs so well! Just can't wait for its future.

Question Of 2026

CAN IT RUN DOOM???

Update

Please update your app in the App Store . It is long overdue

Older Windows Systems won’t run

So if I try to run like Windows 98 it won’t run or Windows XP it won’t run please fix this in later Updates

官方的arch版本/boot分区太小

无法完成pacman -Syu滚动更新鉴定为基本不可用

The best VM app in iOS

Well though it might take a long time to create and run a VM like Windows 10 or Windows 11,it still gives us a chance to run Linux like Debian quickly without JIT. I recommend it

the worst PC emulator ever.

The SPICE servers don’t work and NO BOOTABLE DEVICE errors keep popping up. Delete this.

Really good for hackintosh!

I ran the Intel version of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger! It runs PvZ AWSOME!

It’s fast on my iPad Air 5 but on my iPad 8 it’s slow

So basically UTM se stand for slow edition and I tested it on my iPad Air 5 and it can run windows 11 and Mac OS 10.6 smoothly but on older devices like iPad 8 it’s slow and laggy and crashes I was able to emulate windows 8 and Mac OS 9 and older the reason why I was saying my iPad Air 5 is faster because it has that hyper visor feature which allows to virtualize instead of emulation and it has the M1 chip and has 8gbs of ram and 256 gbs so if you have a older devices get a newer one I hope apple will allow jit ASAP and my iPad 8 has 3gbs of ram and 128 gbs so older devices are for nostalgia and new devices are for modern use so 4/5 stars

Nooooo

I can’t run windows 11 on utm se

Idk

Idk where to get the emulator rom for windows xp I need help

Bad

It doesn’t let me import any files at all no matter what you do I’ve tried so many things and nothing works. How do you even import a file everything‘s greyed out

THE GOTDAMN APP SHOULDN’T BE EXIST!

Somehow, I was trying download "Windows 7" Because I really want to but then there was a problem.. When I check to my File And type "ISOi"… it’s Not here And ALL I HAVE TO DO IS USE WINDOWS 7 WITHOUT A STUPID ISOI?! THATS STUPID MAN! (Yup I Checked it Not Lie)

Great idea needs work

I really would love this to work. Windows XP is slow motion on iPad Pro M5. It installed in 1.5 hours.

If it did work however it would justify the price I paid for iPad (I feel like hardware spent on iOS could be a great desktop machine)

If you maintain this we’d be willing to pay.

Pesima

He intentado instalar CachyOS, Ubuntu etc y no he podido en un iPad Pro m2, incluso use el ubuntu de la galería de UMT y siempre el mismo error, no he podido solucionar el problema de “Display output is not active”. He buscado y dicen que la version SE, no es capaz de solucionar este problema, cuando esto cambien, la probare de nuevo y ya cambiare si eso la review.
