User Reviews

RetroArch Plus is praised for its versatility as an all-in-one emulator and good PS1/PSP and classic-system support, making it a strong front-end for emulation. However, users repeatedly report a cluttered UI, stability problems including crashes, and serious touchscreen/overlay and binding issues that hinder play. Missing ROM search for external storage and inconsistent performance on newer titles or on weaker hardware are common drawbacks. Overall, powerful but with UX and reliability concerns.

Pros

All-in-one emulator/front-end with broad core support
Strong support for PS1/PSP and classic systems (GBC/SNES)
Reliable front-end for emulation and a go-to option for many users

Cons

UI/UX is confusing and not user-friendly
Crashes and stability issues
Touchscreen controls/overlay problems and broken controller bindings
Missing ROM management features like external ROM search
Performance variability on newer games or less capable devices

it keeps on uninstalling saying I don't have enough storage when I obviously do I don't know why this keeps happening but I hope you all can fix this I know this might be the earliest time I say this but this is insane I have to do this two days in a row I hope this works this time please

The app updated a couple of days ago, and now it doesn't read save files or games anymore. It looks like they changed how the app reads the device storage for no reason. edit: I figured out that you have to give permission to every folder that was used before the update happened in the (I think new) directory settings for your saves/states and rescan your ROMs using the system file picker for both (not using RetroArch to choose the folders).
