## Review summary

PPSSPP on iOS is praised for strong control customization, external controller support, and generally solid PSP performance with an ad-free UX. However, updates have frequently disabled multi-touch input, leading to gameplay restrictions, and introduced stability issues such as crashes and glitches, plus loading errors for certain titles. Overall, the core experience is strong, but reliability during updates remains a common concern.

### Pros

- Excellent on-screen control customization and button layout for PSP-style play.
- Ability to connect a physical joystick/controller for a more authentic PSP experience.
- Runs many PSP titles smoothly with solid performance.
- Ad-free experience with minimal intrusive prompts during use.

### Cons

- Recent updates remove multi-touch input, preventing pressing two on-screen buttons at once.
- Occasional stability issues, including random crashes and video/audio glitches.
- Some games fail to load after updates or show 'game not found' errors.
