Review summary

User reviews repeatedly flag missing/disabled menu access on modern Android, preventing loading games and disks. Compatibility issues with Android 10+ and perceived abandonment by developers are common. Additional downsides include inability to load disk images/files, limited keyboard input (no multi-key combos, shifted chars not supported), and non-working save states. Some positives noted are emulation quality, absence of ads, and occasional keyboard support on certain devices.

Pros

Emulates C64 well
No ads or micropayments
External keyboard support works on some devices

Cons

No accessible system/menu on newer Android versions, blocking ROM/disk loading
Compatibility problems with Android 10+; app appears abandoned and unmaintained
Cannot load disk images or access files/SD card due to missing menu
Keyboard input limitations: single-key input only, shifted characters not supported, shifting can break with physical keyboard
Save states and other menu features don’t work or are non-functional

2023-10-30	Ro*****	The app actually starts, and on an older phone I am able to get to the menu. On my newest phone, there's no way to get to the menu, but my wireless keyboard works! Now, if there was a way to get into settings, and change the key that activates the menu, this would be dandy! Hope the programmer can fix this, because a lot of people are waiting for the rest of the functionality to work. Where are you mr. developer? We'd like to hear from you ! :)
