    the setup for this app honestly took wayyyy longer than expected, i dont know if its because i had recently bought this macbook air 2017, which may be outdated, or if its just the app itself, this had my computer heating up soooo much and i had bought this laptop a day ago (12/27/24). But overall, it works as intended and it allowed me to be able to play yandere sim (which may also be an even bigger reason of the heating)

  • Dont waste your money on planned redundancy and lacklustre support
