### 2/5 — Meh

*2023-01-22, version 4.7.0*

Don’t really use it

### 4/5 — Fun! But…

*2022-01-15, version 4.6.1*

I love using these sounds - but there are quite a few that don’t actually have sound available to use. 🥺 can that be fixed? There are no other apps on here that have xp sounds, so it would be great if you could update it. Thanks! Otherwise I love it! I use it when playing with my laptops I made.

### 3/5 — Quella voglia improvvisa di commettere crimini di guerra

*2021-11-09, version 4.6.1*

Allora questa è una grande app, grandi ricordi sono legati ad essa, dunque ho pensato di supportarla con quei 0,99€ pure per non vedermi la pubblicità dei camion ogni volta che la apro, PERÒ SE TE LA SUPPORTO TU LE PUBBLICITÀ ME LE DEVI TOGLIERE MADONNA IO TI ELIMINO LA STIRPE

Argh, nostalgia sounds.

Not all of the buttons currently have noises, Will they be DLC?

I need the startup/switch off sound for when I turn my phone on and off.

Les sons rappellent des souvenirs et l’écran bleu de la mort est vraiment réaliste. 
La meilleure App pour une simulation de Windows XP.

### 1/5 — Stolen sounds to support their passive income

*2021-11-17, version 4.6.1*

Nice one, might as well add some NFTs for in-app purchases while you're at it. Idiot.

### 1/5 — Persistent ads

*2020-12-05, version 4.6.1*

I payed to remove ads but it keeps the banner ads anyway, I ended up accidentally paying twice for the ad removal because of this. The only reason it got 2 stars instead of one is because of the nostalgia. 
Edit 1 star now because it’s widget is bricked on iOS 14

### 1/5 — Ça ne sert à rien

*2020-05-29, version 4.6*

C’est pas un vrai Windows 
C’est un faux Windows XP où y’a que des sons et un écran bleu 👎🙁

### 1/5 — Non funziona

*2018-06-16, version 4.4.3*

Non funziona su IPhone 7 IOS 11.4

The sound is not really working.

### 1/5 — doesnt work

### 1/5 — I don't usually write reviews but...

*2016-04-24, version 4.2*

This app doesn't seem to work. I've found the blue screen of death, but that's really all it does. The sounds don't play and I've tried multiple ways of selecting them.

### 1/5 — Does. Not work

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — I think I know why theirs some sounds playing and what not

*2024-04-04, version 4.7.1*

The reason for this is because many of these sounds are not in the os itself in the program events, and you have to manuelly select a sound for that event, e.g print complete. Same with menu command and so on. That's all I could say hear. End of line

### 5/5 — Best free app ever
