Summary
Folium, a 3DS emulator, generally receives overwhelmingly negative feedback from users. Many report critical issues such as the persistent inability to play games in landscape mode, broken external controller support (specifically after recent updates like version 1.31), and significant performance problems including lag and frequent crashes. Users also frequently criticize the app's paid nature, feeling it does not deliver value compared to free alternatives, and highlight recurring layout issues on iPads where virtual buttons overlap. While some users appreciate the initial effort to bring 3DS emulation to the App Store and praise its interface design, these positives are overshadowed by widespread reports of functionality degradation after updates, making game imports and saves problematic for many.
