  1. 3/5Accessing Save Files Shouldn’t Be This Difficult

    I’m currently play testing a fan game that’s being developed and wanted to download it on my phone so I could enjoy it on the go. As new patches to the game come out, I can’t seem to pass the old save to the new save. This wouldn’t be an issue if I could get to the save files and copy-paste before a standard .sav file, but for some reason this app doesn’t let you copy (or even have access) to save data. Even just trying to find exactly where my progress is saved is a massive pain and I can’t find anywhere to help me figure it out. The app seems to run fine otherwise, but if you need to update the version you’re playing, just accept that you’ll need to start over

  2. 5/5Great support from Dev (APPLE LET THE DEV UPDATE THE APP)

    APPLE PLEASE LET THE APP BE UPDATED I PAID FOR THIS RPGPlayer has become quite powerful in its development over the past few months This Player works incredibly well and runs many of the best MV and MZ games and has support for a growing number of XP and VX games. The games look and sound great, run beautifully, and this app has many good quality of life features compared to its peers. I sincerely hope RPGPlayer can continue getting updates as it is already quite possibly the best RPGM app on the App Store right now. I understand that Apple is being finicky with releasing future updates, it doesn’t make any sense to me if other emulators are available here. I use RPGPlayer daily to play my favorite games I want it to be the best it can be

  3. 3/5There’s potential, but it won’t save

    I wanted to play the rpg maker XP game Moémon wonders. It takes a while for the black screen to go away. When you open the save menu, the game barely registers your button inputs. You have to hit enter a million times for it to “save”. But the save doesn’t actually work. The game claims it has saved, but then when you reboot the game again, it says new game. And when you use the in game ‘quit’ it says it’s a fatal error instead I’m impressed the game ran at all, but it’s not really playable if the save doesn’t work. I’m not very knowledgeable about installing RPG maker games, especially not on a phone, so maybe it’s ME that messed up…?

  4. 4/5How to save?

    The app is really wonderful and I get to experience RPGXP games on the iphone!! However, most of the time while playing, my character/moving things would pause for one second before moving again, and it’s kinda okay since every else is working graphic-wise. My biggest concern is that I am unable to save!! I check the other comments and they are unable to save as well despite having the save files. I played both Littleroot Researcher and Unbreakable Ties, and both of them have saving problems!! Please help me fix this issue!! Your app help me play those games and I really want to continue!!

  5. 5/5A work in progress with a great developer

    I have managed to fully play through same games, and updates have made previous crashes run like butter. The dev is really putting in work to make sure this apps runs smooth and the difference a few updates have made makes me easily recommend you buy it, if any issues crop up the dev is responsive and has shown a willingness to solve issues quickly. Don’t expect a flawless app but expect an app that at times works flawlessly and its being developed constantly.
