## Linking Boy Reviews in United States

### ****- "Wish I could map my controller"
This app is great for trading Pokémon between 2 devices. My son and I have used it and it works well. Yeah you have to pay $3 for the ability to use it but it’s a one time fee and it’s only
Required on the host device, not both. Works with my Xbox controller which is awesome, I just wish that I could map the fast forward to my controller but I don’t believe it’s possible from what I’ve seen.
-- FatalScroll819, 2024-12-12

### ***** "Essential for multiplayer"
As most emulators don’t support multiplayer I was very skeptical towards this one, but it turned out to be true. You do have to pay $3 to be able to perform multiplayer but it’s worth it since it’s not too much. Make sure you’re not in 2x speed while linked or it will be laggy. Thank you developer.
-- SoEvolved, 2024-11-29

### ***** "Fantastic"
For any multiplayer game that relies on a link cable or the wireless adapter, this emulator is a must have.

I’ve tried various solutions however when it comes to iOS I haven’t found anything that worked except this.

Games run well. I occasionally have some weird connection hiccups and bugs but it’s honestly hard to tell if it’s my ROM or the emulator.

Regardless 10/10. Keep up the great work!

### ***** "Linking works fantastically!"
Just traded a Pokémon with my roommate ;) App runs smoothly without stuttering while trading. Been waiting for this to happen on iPhone for years.
-- Kittenguy333, 2024-10-04

### ***** "Works very well"
I got the premium right away hopefully they’ll continue working on this because I love this!!!
