About game performance & "game boosters"
The Arcade does not alter game performance, frame rates (FPS), hardware behavior or network latency. Claims made by many game booster apps are technically impossible! Instead, The Arcade improves your gaming experience through its console launcher interface, focused game hub organization, and ad-free design.

Ratings and reviews

This is a very good launcher. if it's possible, add more live/dynamic covers, or if it's possible to add a gif image. And I suggest to add more icon customisation icon size and stuff. Also the layout like choosing apps you can make it carousel like sliding option or something like in gamenative. Overall, this launcher is great and attractive, 10/10 would recommend.

Great launcher. Worth paying the $2 for more customization, but not needed. I love how versatile menu creation is. My only issue with it is that when I try to set up a shortcut for an emulated game outside of the emulator for PPSSPP and Snes9x EX+, neither of those options show up in the list provided to pick the emulator. Even though they are on the list of supported. That fixed and also other emulators added(nethersx2) and pc emus(game native) shortcuts integrated into the menus would be 👍💯

I have the paid version. I love it. a suggestion would be to add more customizable options as in sound effects when I select an app if yk what I mean? and being able to change how big the icons are and the spacing between them so and so. so basically a bit more of the feel or look of backbone?
