## Review summary

Overall, reviews are highly positive about Neon as a mobile cloud gaming app, with strong praise for game quality and the concept. However, repeated usability issues—especially not being able to launch or use the app—coupled with PC discovery/connection problems and a lack of hosting/LAN options—limit its practicality. The app shows clear potential but reliability and networking features need improvement to satisfy a broader audience.

### Pros

- Very positive overall reception; repeatedly called 'world's best' / 'best app' / 'amazing'.
- Enjoyable game quality and user experience; described as 'acchi game hai', 'nice', and 'great app'.
- Promoted as top mobile cloud gaming platform.

### Cons

- App frequently not working; cannot open or use (appears in multiple reviews).
- PC discovery/connection problems: failing to scan for PC or add PC.
- Missing PC hosting feature and LAN/IP configuration options (no host PC option; no LAN/IP selection).
