### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2025-12-05*

Works so well

### 5/5 — Excellent tool

*2025-12-05*

I use this on my Batocera system for playing media in Kodi. It works great! Still some rough edges and more features would be nice but it says what he can do today.

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2025-04-12*

I used the app for the longest time and it works very well. I guess Tapto will be rebranded as Zaparoo? I’m still excited as this project lets me share my love of gaming on the mister with my niece. 10/10 just a great project and a fun time. Please add more Neo Geo support one day :)

Edit: As of 4/7/25 NEO GEO works like a boss!!!!!! Everything I threw at it works great!!!!!!!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! I hope Neo Geo is working better for you now

### 5/5 — Works well

*2025-04-12*

I had some problems but it’s bc of my own mistake

**Developer response:** Hi. I'm sorry, I only just saw this. Please send me an email or get in touch on Discord if you're having problems with the app, I will do my best to get it working for you. There is no "tapto group" or drama or takeover or anything like that, it's just been me this whole time. I changed the name because TapTo was a registered US trademark which put the project at a lot of risk, for example the app could be taken down from the app store for trademark infringement.

### 1/5 — Drama + broke it

*2025-03-14*

Seems like dude argued with the tapto group, took over the project solely then screwed it up. Doesn’t even work now. Thanks a lot happy to have spent money on this junk

### 5/5 — Such a great app

*2024-04-25*

The functionality of the app before any in-app purchases (there’s only one and I think it’s worth it) is amazing.  I’m going to go get some stickers printed!

Thanks Wizzo!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the support! Hope you're still having a good time with Zaparoo
