## Review summary

Tap Engine is praised as a powerful and usable mobile game engine, better than Godot's mobile port, allowing development entirely on phones. However, users report several issues including a limited scene count, unclear and complicated interface, intrusive ads and pop-ups, touch input problems, and export functions locked behind a paywall. Despite these, the app shows great potential and has improved its ad experience over time.

### Pros

- Works better than Godot's Android port and is a usable mobile game engine.
- Offers powerful features for 2D game creation on mobile devices.
- Allows game development entirely on a phone, useful for those without a computer.
- Has potential and receives praise for being a capable and promising app.
- Improved ad situation compared to earlier versions.

### Cons

- Limited to 5 scenes, restricting project complexity and export options.
- User interface is unclear, complicated, and not very user-friendly.
- Ads and pop-ups are intrusive and annoying to users.
- Touch input issues, such as buttons not registering input unless finger is moved.
- Exporting projects requires payment, unlike free options like Godot.
