User reviews

Users appreciate that Mobile Emulator effectively simulates device viewports and backend HTTP requests, aiding web testing purposes. However, recurring issues include inability to rotate screens, poor support and functionality in the premium version, and misleading pricing. Additional complaints involve functional bugs and intrusive style modifications, which detract from user experience.

Pros

Works well and is useful for device testing before purchase.
Emulates HTTP requests for backend processing, not just viewport resizing.
Runs smoothly without major glitches in many cases.
Similar functionality to other responsive viewer tools.

Cons

Lacks ability to rotate screen to landscape mode, causing usability issues.
Premium version support and functionality are poor or non-responsive.
Pricing information is misleading or confusing based on user account experience.
Some functional defects and usability problems reported, including unwanted changes to page styles.
