User Reviews

Users praise the impressive concept and note it can run lightweight Linux distros on iPad and works well on Mac, but reliability is hampered by severe performance slowdowns on iOS, limited OS compatibility with frequent boot errors, crashes, and input/mouse control problems on iPadOS.

Pros

Impressive ability to run a VM on iOS/iPadOS.
Usable with lightweight Linux distros (Debian LXDE/Xfce, Alpine, Arch) on iPad.
Works reasonably well on Mac and is a notable PC-emulator on Apple devices.
Niche tool that enables experimentation with virtual machines on mobile platforms.

Cons

Very slow performance on iOS/iPadOS, often with no JIT acceleration.
Inconsistent OS compatibility and boot issues (Windows XP/7, various Linux distros) including boot/installation errors.
Frequent crashes during use (e.g., when adding a drive or at launch).
Input/mouse control issues on iPadOS and general usability frictions.

Recent reviews

My iPhone 17 Pro Max ran Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 good, but Vista, 7, 8, and 8.1 are slow (Apple removed iOS/iPadOS JIT), but if I try XP, the XP BSoDs.
