User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★☆Pretty cool
A little bit of historical background information would be nice as well as description of the functionality and just how advanced this device was.
Nicely executed.
★★★☆☆Awesome but...
This thing is really cool to look at, but there's a problem. You see it works on my iPhone SE just fine, but for some reason, it doesn't work at all on my iPad mini 2 running iOS 9.3.5. It just crashes upon opening! I know it's an old OS on old hardware, but this is not an app that needs a whole lot of power. I mean, you can't run the first computer on an iPad that's only a few years old? Come on! I can't even see what it says on iOS! So please fix this, and I'll give full stars, otherwise 2.
★★★☆☆Great Programme
The programming is absolutely wonderful and I think the concept is perfect. However, I find the rendering makes reading the dials on both sides very difficult to read. Also, the controls seem a wee bit, make that, pretty sluggish. How about a higher contrast view and a lock on the side of the mechanism that is to be read.
