Runs like a charm, but a lot of the ads will fully block your screen and on the Google pixel you can't press the X because it's off screen. It's... absolutely infuriating. If you don't save often you'll lose a LOT of progress to an ad popping up, which usually happens after you've switched to a different app to reply to a text or switch videos. This forces you to close the app to get rid of the ad. Make the ads just a bit smaller so pixel owners can hit the X without risking losing progress.

One of the best out there. Great haptic feedback, very little lag, speed up options up to 16x! There is literally nothing more an emulator needs. The ads aren't as bad as people say, mostly just small banner ads at the bottom and a skippable ad everytime you switch to another app. In all my time using this, it's only crashed twice, both times I was using over x4 speed (let's be honest, all emulators struggle with that). And the quick and auto save are extremely helpful. All in all a solid app.

I have used this emulator ALOT, and for a free emulator, it is FABULOUS! Firstly, the ads are not so intrusive and annoying! That makes the game actually playable and puts the game in the highest quality possible! Second, the fact that you can speed gameplay is very helpful! When I play Pokèmon, I end up getting in LOTS of battles which is annoying. However thanks to the speed up feature I can play faster! This is just amazing!

I used this app on my old phone to play Pokemon fire red and loved it! Now my 3 year old daughter is starting to like Pokemon so I've added it to my current phone to teach her about the games. It works great, aside from 1 issue. It won't play GBC games. The engine seems to be limited to GBA games, so in order to play GBC, I need to install the separate emulator. It's not a big deal, I just wasn't looking forward to having another app. Otherwise, this is a great emulator!

I love this Emulator. For being free it's really high quality. There are plenty of settings, most of them enhancing the game, but some of them just fun to experiment with. I usually play with my PS4 controller which works great with all of the games, especially since you can change the controller input. I love playing these old games I never got to experience. Keep up the great work.

It is fantastic! I've only been playing for about an hour now and from previous reviews and my own experience this game emulator is the real deal and works fantastically. Download a rom like you would for a computer emulator and it pulls it up automatically. Sound works great, no lag even for a very full phone, no ads from what I saw AND it tells you your time and battery percentage of your phone on the bottom so you have constant emersion without having to swipe down to see the time!
