The graphics of the application are praised for their aesthetic appeal, featuring high-quality console icons and background images that enhance the user experience. Users appreciate the ability to customize artwork for games, although they express a desire for improved management options and more efficient bulk scraping capabilities. Some concerns include issues with artwork disappearing, difficulties in editing, and a need for better organization within the app's interface.
- “I came back to update and improve my review to say that I am so impressed with the quality of the console icon artwork and the background images for each console.”
- “The aesthetic is beautiful and the UI is simple.”
- “Great for your retro collection, only wish it was accurate when sorting where the files go to which system and would be nice if there was an easier way to edit. I wish all edits would not glitch, as the background artwork goes blank at times.”
- “This is the second time that after an update it has erased a lot of the hard work and countless hours of organization and finding artwork that I have put in.”
- “Not a huge fan of some of the in-app artwork on the recent and favorite screens, but the actual launcher itself looks amazing once set up.”
stability

Users report significant stability issues with the software, particularly after the recent update (1.1.0.2), which has led to freezing when accessing external drives and problems with game collections disappearing or failing to re-add. While some minor bugs and glitches are noted, the overall experience is marred by frequent freezes, especially when launching games or handling large ROM collections.
- “When I try to access my external drive for the ROM path by clicking 'emulated', it freezes.”
- “The app is great, but after update 1.1.0.2, some of my collections broke and disappeared suddenly (N64 collection was empty) and I couldn't re-add them back in. Some of my games won't add back to the collection. In the previous version, everything was good, but now they broke. All the image downloads are broken and freeze when adding pictures.”
- “Everything works until you try to launch a game; it just freezes and does absolutely nothing.”

Users appreciate the extensive customization options for music, allowing them to add individual tracks or albums, which enhances the overall experience. The inclusion of retro background music and the ability to incorporate personal music tracks have been well-received, contributing to a cozy and unique atmosphere. Overall, the developer's responsiveness to feedback regarding music features is positively noted.
- “It does have tons of customization; you can change art and add single music tracks or even albums, which is cool.”
- “I love the addition of background music.”
- “Great songs and very catchy.”
- “It doesn't get better when the developer behind all of this takes time to truly listen to feedback as he clearly cares about his work... looking forward to seeing music put into the app, it will make it feel cozy and perhaps even unique.”
- “Where is the AetherSX2 emulator? In my opinion, it's a good front end, but I recommend you add background music or give us the option to play our own music.”
- “Also, there should be an option to have videos and music.”
