## Review summary

Many reviews praise the app for capturing the feel of the classic Dr. Mario and finding it addicting as a quick game. However, a majority flag persistent control glitches—buttons sometimes register opposite commands or don’t respond—along with general bugs and occasional crashes, especially after updates. Compatibility issues with iOS 14 and concerns about changes to the old theme/experience appear in several reviews. A few players also note the game could use background music and fewer disruptive ads. Overall, the positives contrast with unstable controls and quality concerns.

### Pros

- Very similar to the original game and addictive.
- Nostalgic concept; a solid mobile rendition of a classic NES game.
- Fun to play and serves as a good quick-time waster; easy to pick up.
- Ability to quit a game and resume later is convenient.

### Cons

- Controls are buggy and unresponsive; buttons often do the opposite or are hard to press.
- Frequent bugs and crashes, especially after updates; performance issues.
- Updates changed the game and reduced the nostalgic feel; not the same experience.
- iOS 14 compatibility issues; not working on iOS 14.
