Ratings and reviews

Have spent ages looking for a Speccy emulator for my new tablet. This one works great, so far no issues with emulation and works well with the Samsung keyboard cover. It is still supported too, unlike others. Would be great to have an option to hide the onscreen controls without having to press anything (they reappear sometimes). Also a keyboard shortcut to stop the tape would be awesome. Apologies if I've missed them! Overall a great app, was happy to pay for this one :-)

Works great. Now if only we could search the current directory instead of the whole storage. Or better yet, The option to pick the directory your games are stored in & scan the contents to a cache. Then searches would be instant. When you have a very large collection of games, endlessly scrolling right to find your game is a chore. A quick search would be so much easier. Im using the Nvidia shield tv. My games are in folders a-z with many games in each folder. It takes forever

Excellent Spectrum emulator from an excellent Dev! I had an issue using my Bluetooth gamepad with a previous version of this app, but after contacting the dev they were quickly able to sort out a fix and now I can play my favourite Speccy game once more (Elite - or more accurately, Elite Legend, a modern day modded version which is possibly the best 8-bit version of the game). I have nothing but praise for the dev and this emulator is well worth the small asking price.
