Summary

User reviews for this mobile app are overwhelmingly negative, citing numerous critical issues. Many users express frustration over purchasing subscriptions, including 'lifetime' options or 'free' trials, only to find no games available or promised titles missing due to false advertising, specifically noting a lack of PSP, DS, 3DS, or advertised NES titles like FIFA Street and Mario Bros. Recurring problems include significant bugs, such as lost game save data for titles like Pokémon, and app crashes, particularly when attempting to use external controllers. While a few users acknowledge the promising concept of an iOS emulator, find the built-in touch controls functional, or praise the quality of some available games, the high pricing model and absence of core advertised content severely detract from the overall user experience.
