The graphics of the games are generally praised for their high quality, with many users noting impressive visuals comparable to next-gen consoles, especially when played on devices with strong internet connections. However, several reviews highlight that performance can suffer significantly with lower bandwidth, leading to lag and graphical issues, particularly on mobile devices. Overall, while the graphics are often described as stunning, the experience is heavily dependent on internet speed and device capability.
“I love how easy I can access my favorite games and how fabulous the graphics and images are of AAA games like Assassin's Creed, NBA 2K20, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Grid.”
“It runs super smoothly and the graphics are the best.”
“Graphics are smooth, no noticeable lag for casual gamers, controller feels nice.”
“Anything less than perfect reception causes noticeable issues, whether that was latency or sacrifices in graphical fidelity.”
“If you can, Microsoft, please fix the graphic problem (the problem where the resolution goes into potato mode) and the lag.”
“The actual graphics are pretty bad; it hardly plays the game.”

The monetization model of the app has drawn significant criticism for being misleading and overly reliant on in-app purchases. Many users express frustration over the lack of transparency in advertising, which suggests free gameplay but ultimately requires users to buy coins for playtime, often at a high cost. Suggestions for improvement include allowing users to earn coins by watching ads, which could enhance user satisfaction and engagement while providing a more balanced monetization strategy.
“There are no advertisements, mom doesn't have to worry about me anymore ha ha!”
“Although I like how smooth the interface is, the membership allows you to watch no ads and play upcoming games for free.”
“I like it, I hate software with all kinds of boring ads, this one is very good, no ads.”
“This app is not even worth downloading. First off, if you already have the game then just don't use this app. But if you don't, I am sorry. Make a way to get coins to play like watch ads for maybe 50 coins or 100, but if you have money do not waste it on this app.”
“The ads said you could play freely, but when I tried to play a game, it told me I had to buy coins to play. This was terrible; these developers lie constantly and also false advertise stuff when you have a button that says play now but then says become a member. That's false advertising.”
“This is a highly misleading app that revolves around click-baiting people with a monetization scheme. The advertisement literally acted like this was free when it's not, and as a new member, I'm not even given a chance to try this out. I literally have to buy the service and risk my money to see if it's good or not.”

Overall, the optimization of the app has received positive feedback, with many users reporting smooth performance across various devices and connections, particularly with a strong Wi-Fi signal.

The app is praised for its ability to balance quality and performance, making it suitable for a wide range of gaming experiences.
“I had a very smooth experience playing even the most demanding PC games thanks to the many options available to help balance quality vs performance.”
“The latest update to support wireless controller use from any device is a game changer, and I also feel like the overall stability and performance of streaming has improved considerably since launch.”
“Fantastic performance, latency, new titles being released all the time, frequent sales of AAA games like RDR2 or Ghost Recon Breakpoint.”
“App is now unusable on my S3 with this update... used the Samsung optimization app, restarted my S3.”
“But I don't really recommend playing high-tension action games as you will definitely feel the lagging and stuttering.”
“It was a bad cloud gaming experience; you can only play what you already purchased on Steam. It didn't give you the games that you cannot purchase, and the most important thing is that the game is not optimized on Android.”

I played at night, so I opened Netboom and played GTA 5, but my saved progress is not here. Netboom's saved progress is deleted after you shut down and open again; your saved progress will be removed.”

Users express frustration with the grinding aspect of certain games, describing it as tedious and stressful, particularly when navigating confusing controls and requiring additional accounts like Steam. While some appreciate the time investment in games like Euro Truck Simulator and Farming Simulator, they feel that the overall experience could be improved by reducing the time needed for grinding activities.
“This app is terrible, stressful, and tedious to figure out. When I downloaded it, I thought it would be an easy-to-access app with good quality games, but when you first get in and pay money to play a game, you have to use a confusing keyboard and you need a Steam account to even play a game. Then the worst part is that you can't even play games like GTA.”
“Grinding in this game feels endless and monotonous. It takes too long to progress, making it more of a chore than an enjoyable experience.”
“The amount of time required to level up or earn rewards is frustrating. It feels like I'm just wasting hours on repetitive tasks instead of actually enjoying the game.”
