Doesn’t work

The app displays a message “watch the ads to earn your reward”, and even if you watched 1000 ads, this message keeps looping. From iphone 13 to mac m2.

It’s become 100% paid

It used to be an amazing app for gaming until the developer made it impossible to use it for free at all. That’s a shame and a huge pity. Farewell, VGamepad, you will be missed…
