## Review summary

Users praise a clean UI and solid emulation with responsive developers. However, recurring issues include ROM loading/transfer problems across devices, input control limitations (no 8-direction D-pad, corner directions problems, resizing), and missing features (save/load, shaders, cheats, zip support, and broader platform support). Overall, core emulation is strong, but polish and feature parity are needed.

### Pros

- Clean, uncluttered UI and interface
- Solid emulation with noticeable gfx/frame rate improvements
- Responsive developers and active support
- Nostalgic retro aesthetics and touches

### Cons

- ROM loading/compatibility issues across devices and cumbersome ROM transfer
- Input controls are limited: lack of 8-direction D-pad, corner directions unresponsive, and touchscreen resizing needs work
- Missing essential features: quick save/load, shader options, cheat codes, zip support, and broader platform support
