Dev replied to me March claiming the trigger issue would be fixed. Its November. And an update just came out without it being addressed. It can't be that hard to implement. Please fix this . I would love to play games on my shield but without the trigger buttons, some games are unplayable cuz there are too many buttons to map. If u need a hint, the triggers actually are the z axis

Great in principle. Lack of backup functionality is crippling. Lots of effort setting it up is lost when you upgrade or change devices. Give us cloud or at minimum store the xml, icons and database where they can be easily saved and then reinstalled later.

Not as stable as magic dosbox. Some programs crash or not even run due to no memory. Magic Dosbox runs them all

S70%
by S####:

It's pretty good, having some difficulty getting Doom to work because it says it doesn't have enough memory to run and I can't change the memory size. Also, whenever I try to select a profile, a full screen ad comes up and doesn't open the profile.

Great app. Makes it easy to use DosBox Turbo with multiple games. Only thing I would love to see added is launcher shortcuts for each game/configuration. It would make it as easy to launch DOS games as Android games.

This is been a long-standing issue with this app. This app does not register inputs from the triggers of game pads.

Nice front end, but will it be possible to add cloud storage as option so that you can export all your game profiles quickly and recover easily? Thanks!

Well i love it but i don't know how to play games on it because I'm new to DOS and in DOS box turbo like how do you do it please reply.

Great app but as others have said would be better with a way to transfer config among devices, then 5☆

A must have for any fellow DOS addict. Nice layout and pretty simple to use if you are familiar with DOS and/or virtualization such as dosbox.

I don't have the money for the regular one, so I have to use the free one, and this doesn't have support for the FreeBox.

Developer does an amazing job at providing top notch customer service and an incredible app for PC gaming. Fishstix went WAY above and beyond to help me for over 2 days in order to get my games running. Now I am in heaven playing my favorite PC games-Rise of the Triad, Quake, Wolfenstein, and Doom. Bliss!!! and it's all due to the dev.

N70%
by N####:

I think this is a great dos emulator and love the profiler. I do however agree with the other reviewers that mentioned the need for cloud backup to use multiple devices as well as not being able to use L2/R2 trigger buttons on controllers like the Moga. I have a tablet as well as a phone and setting up the configurations in each is a bit tedious. I also would like to see some additional keyboard buttons that are missing from the selection menu while mapping. I know it sounds like I'm harping on this but really I would still prefer to use this app in comparisons to others because of its polish and list of options.

Shame this app does not allow import of previously created config files when you switch devices. This would justify 5 stars. Otherwise does exactly what it says it does and worked fine for me across several devices.

Its not working correctly. Dos-paid just cant cooperate with manager. Autoexe of manager cant change anything in DOS-paid.

The Dosbox app itself works, but this frontend doesn't allow me to edit configurations on my Droid RAZR maxx HD running KitKat. Same on dalvik or art. Fix it for me, and I will change my review. When I try to edit a configuration the program crashes immediately.

Frameskip settings always seem to default to 2, regardless of settings in the dosbox manager .conf files. Any way to get around this or possibly a fix?

Why make it so you can only use this app if you hold down the app select button to bring up the menu. Iv never seen this anywhere else

K70%
by K####:

Fix this critical bug, and I'll rate higher. Until then, all I can do is launch the default profile.

E70%
by E####:

There needs to be a "remove icon" option, and I would love to see a list view option as well.

D70%
by D####:

Right away you'll think the app doesn't do anything unless you know that long-pressing the Android multitasking button brings up a menu, and have fun figuring out how to switch out of the gamepad keyboard when renaming a profile! So many poor design decisions across these three apps (Turbo, Manager, and GamePad), but it does technically work.
