## GenZD Reviews in United States

### *---- "Launching any game crashing issue still exists"
iPad Pro 13.9 on IPadOS 26.1. Launching even basic Doom crashes the app. It was on 26 a couple months ago. iPhone Pro on 26.1 is working fine though.
-- Dario9999, 2025-11-08

### ***-- "Mouse glitch"
Hi, I really enjoy this app for Doom—it’s great! But I’ve been having trouble with the mouse controls. When I play as Doomguy, he doesn’t move around like he should, and it seems glitchy. It even used to kick me out of the game before. Hope this can be fixed in a future update. Thanks!
-- Dr7945, 2025-10-13

### ***** "Amazing."
Great port. It’s like Delta touch for iOS. Now I can play Doom on my iPad. Maybe more features/things can be added in the future? Thanks for making this possible. :)
-- xm4r5x, 2025-07-26

### ***** "Very good!!!!!"
Very good app.  Works well and easy to use after getting the hang of it.  Just one question, where does the autoexec.cfg file go?
-- RickJWill, 2025-07-07

### ****- "Awesome port, but…"
I love this port. It’s fantastic and easy to use. The only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is because the touch screen controls, namely the directional pad, needs some serious work. I can’t just slide my thumb in the direction I need to go. You have to press the direction you want to go. If this was fixed, I could easily give it 5 stars. Other than that issue, it’s a GREAT port.
-- p|nhead, 2025-02-27

### ***** "Better than official ports"
Easy to set up and runs great, fully customizable controls make it better than the official ports.
-- Dementoror, 2025-02-10

### **--- "Touch controls need work"
The touch controls are missing some basic functionality present in most mobile FPS games. The movement joystick doesn’t snap to the location of your finger, nor does it register any input outside of one of four cardinal directions, meaning diagonal movement is impossible. The size is fixed also. The “press and swipe” motion that I’m used to for moving in other games is impossible. It’s more like four tiny buttons which are difficult to reliably press. If this could be fixed, this would be a great port. It’s still better than Bethesda’s iOS port, which they haven’t updated in years.
-- YuckFoo2021, 2024-11-23

### ***** "Widget question"
Update 3: I don’t use Discord or have an account on Reddit so hopefully to get this.

How do I add launch configurations  to the new widget? All I see is a white box and no options to add to the widget in the app. iPhone 15 PM on iOS 18.01. I will try the iPad after this.

Side note: I am sorry about the long delay with Apple’s review of ArcadeMania. I check for it every day so I can appreciate the frustration with this. Keep up the good fight because we love your work. Thanks!

Update2: love the iPad support and additional enhancements. This continues to be a steal at this price!

A suggestion - iOS 18 includes ‘game mode’ that works similar to the Mac’s ‘game mode’. From what I read you have to classify your app as a ‘game’ versus something like ‘entertainment’. I am not sure how easy it is to change this or if it creates havoc with the app approval process. But it might be worth looking into. Otherwise, great job!
-- Dario9999, 2024-10-24

### ***** "Been waiting for this for years"
Now able to run Project Brutality on my iPad, with mouse and keyboard support - incredible! (Look it up, download source from GitHub and change extension from .zip to .wad and you’re good to go).
-- Fan of Catan, 2024-09-21

### ***** "Promising Start"
Being able to run GZDoom on iOS has been a longtime dream of mine, and it&#039;s finally here! What&#039;s here is already promising, but it&#039;s definitely missing key features, and other things definitely need tuning.
 -aiming with a touchscreen feels less like a mouse and more like touch input being translated to controller stick input that&#039;s then being given to the game. It DOES NOT feel good whatsoever, and if you have a background with other touchscreen FPS games, it&#039;s gonna feel especially bad.
 -as another reviewer pointed out, not being able to have generic buttons that can be used for mod specific bindings is also an issue, along with the fact you can&#039;t actually resize any of the buttons, nor control their transparency independent of each other. Being able to mess around with the top buttons as well would also be nice. (Having a separate button that pulls them all out and hides them would be a nice addition as well)

 Those are the things that stuck out the most to me, but as an enjoyer of doom&#039;s community modding scene and mobile gaming, this is a HUGE blessing. Thanks for making this, and good luck on your future endeavors!

-EDIT 9/16/24: the dev has fixed all of these issues and more, absolutely wonderful app. If you&#039;re on the fence, just buy it.
-- CoolStory375, 2024-09-17

### ***** "Great app but 1 problem"
I love this app but how do I make keyboard cheats work?
-- scpgaming, 2024-09-10

### ***** "Phenomenal"
This is just about the best port of GZDoom to iOS I could ever have hoped for. It’s considerably better and more capable than the official Doom mobile ports. Excellent work by this developer.
-- SimiaDei1312, 2024-09-08

### ***-- "Very good but one big issue"
Is there no way to remove wads you’ve added to it? My apps flooded I need to delete some and can’t figure it out.
-- Coppersalmon, 2024-08-31

### ***-- "Works perfectly but controller support needs fixing"
Everytime i connect a controller it begins to only let me move right and forward, this was using the base ultimate doom wad, and a candy con wireless controller, please attempt and fix this tiny bug and make this playable for controller users
-- BluddReddSky, 2024-08-31

### ***** "New update is great"
Title says it all. I was already happy with the fact that zdoom mods are now playable on iOS. Now it controls better! Buttery smooth
-- Biowarfare117, 2024-08-26

### ***** "Sup dev, amazing app, can&#039;t wait to watch it grow"
Best $2 I&#039;ve spent on the +100 apps I&#039;ve bought so far lol, thank you for porting gz , got disappointed Doom on Xbox didn&#039;t have support but this has saved that feeling, 1 suggestion is could you get configs in game to save after changing binds and sens? Or do I have to play with the gzdoom.ini?
-- Fffftffrffgijgefhu, 2024-08-15

### ***** "Awesome!"
I was a little skeptical at first, but I figured it’s only $2. I’ll try it. Winds up, this is one of the best ways to play DOOM right now. It works with all of my favorite mods, and it even supports Legacy of Rust as well as the new soundtrack from the just-released update.
-- Ryan Fuhst, 2024-08-11

### ***** "Awesomeness"
Every mod I’ve tried has worked. My House, Doom Infinite, Brutal Doom, Alien Trilogy, and even Splatterhouse! Also worked with the GameSir G8 controller no issues.
EDIT: also the developer has been super responsive to fixes. Buy it now!
-- UESC, 2024-08-04

### ***** "Thanks"
This is everything i ever dreamed of thank you best app ever all my doom mods work flawlessly
-- darkduke117, 2024-07-28

### ****- "Works great! Except crashes when switching games."
Took off a star because it crashes when switching games. But works fine after restarting the app!
