### 3/5 — Used to be good before new update

*2026-02-11, version 2.3.1*

I don’t know if it’s because of the new update or not, but this used to be a really good emulator, but now when I try to play my Genesis games, they lag, the sound is glitchy, and then after a bit it kicks me out of the game. Please fix! This is a good app.

### 4/5 — Its great but,

*2026-02-11, version 2.3.1*

After the new ubdate when Nintendo Ds fully came out i want to try Nintendo Ds games. The problem is that i tried the beta before which didnt work. Now I need to delete the older games to put a new one to the system. The delete button is just loading and doesnt work. Please fix it in the nearest ubdate.

### 3/5 — Crash

*2026-02-05, version 2.3.1*

*2026-01-27, version 2.3.1*

Hey guys! Was working absolutely great but now after about a minute of playing a game it keeps crashing! Please fix!!

### 4/5 — Casi perfecto

*2026-01-26, version 2.3.1*

El emulador en general es perfecto, funciona bien, te da justo lo que buscas, pantalla agrandada al maximo, controles limpios en la pantalla y que se sienten bien jugando. Pero desde que actualicé a IOS26 el emulador crashea al minuto de jugar. Este comentario es de alguien con 40h de juego en Pokemon Rojo Fuego en Iphone 14 pro con 0 problemas. Si solucionan esto 5 estrellas

### 3/5 — Los juegos se cierran constantemente

*2026-01-24, version 2.3.1*

Desde la última actualización de IOs los juegos se cierran solos, después de 2 minutos de arrancar.

### 3/5 — Keeps crashing every 2 minutes

*2026-01-24, version 2.3.1*

So I’ve been having this emulator for months. And it was going smoothly… until one time when I opened a game for too long, IT JUST CRASHED. idk if it was my system or something else..

### 2/5 — Bug

*2026-01-23, version 2.3.1*

Application qui fonctionne bien et qui est fluide ça ok.
Mais depuis la dernière mise à jour de iPhone, il ne fonctionne plus et crash en à peine 2 minutes de jeux. Dommage.

### 2/5 — Poteva essere

*2026-01-19, version 2.3.1*

Dopo circa 30 ore di gioco ora non funziona più 
I giochi dopo 30 sec si chiudono da soli.

### 4/5 — Wirklich schade

*2026-01-19, version 2.3.1*

Lief eigentlich ganz gut, doch seit dem letzten Update wirft es einen nach 2-3 Minuten aus jedem Spiel. War sonst eigentlich immer eine sehr gute App. 
Wirklich schade, hoffe das wird bald behoben

### 3/5 — Worth downloading but has flaws

*2026-01-15, version 2.3.1*

Whenever I play on 5g and for like 20 seconds into the game it crashes

### 3/5 — Pokémon rouge feu

*2026-01-10, version 2.3.1*

Ne fonctionne pas actuellement

### 3/5 — Se cierra a los dos minutos

*2026-01-10, version 2.3.1*

No sé exactamente por qué, pero desde la última actualización de IOS, la aplicación se me cierra a los dos minutos de abrirla. ¿Alguna solución?

### 1/5 — So close to good yet so far

*2026-02-19, version 2.3.1*

I was wanting to play sonic 3&knuckles but game constantly crashed

### 1/5 — Ne marche plus

*2026-01-31, version 2.3.1*

A chaque jeu lancé le jeux tourne 1 mn et se ferme

### 1/5 — Eigentlich ein toller Emulator fürs iPhone

*2026-01-25, version 2.3.1*

Ein wunderbarer Emulator, der eine sehr gute Oberfläche bietet. Alle Spiele werden in einer Bibliothek mit Abbildungen von den Spielschachteln angezeigt, die manchmal online gefunden werden und falls nicht, können diese manuell selbst hinzugefügt werden. Zuletzt gespielte Spiele werden auf einer Startseite angezeigt. Es gibt automatische Speicherpunkte in welche direkt beim Spielstart rein geladen werden kann. Die App speichert auch dann automatisch, wenn sie geschlossen wird.
Leider hängt das Spiel sich auf, wenn man mal kurz die App verlässt oder das Handy ausmacht. Da würde ich mir wünschen, dass es möglich ist die App zu verlassen und weiterspielen zu können, wenn man die App wieder aktiv schaltet.
Insgesamt bin ich sehr zufrieden mit der App und nutze sie als meinen Haupt-Emulator auf dem Handy für meine alten GameBoy-Spiele.

Edit: seit kurzem stürzen die Spiele immer ab kurz nachdem ich sie gestartet habe. Somit ist der Emulator leider unbrauchbar weil die Spiele nicht mehr spielbar sind. Ich hoffe auf einen schnellen Fix.

### 1/5 — Ios26

*2026-01-22, version 2.3.1*

Desde que he actualizado se me cierran los juegos

### 1/5 — Its crashing

*2026-01-20, version 2.3.1*

I’m on adboy for over a year with iOS 26.2 its started crashing every 3-5 minutes

### 1/5 — Ya no funciona bien

*2026-01-19, version 2.3.1*

Con la nueva actualización del iPhone se cierra sola

### 1/5 — Crash

*2026-01-09, version 2.3.1*

Dopo pochi secondi si chiude sempre su iPhone 16. Impossibile giocare.

### 1/5 — Diciamo..

*2025-12-26, version 2.3.1*

Applicazione provata con rom pokémon… ogni dieci secondi va in crash e si chiude il gioco, i salvataggi effettuati nel gioco non vengono salvati, quindi ad ogni avvio del gioco si riparte da zero.

Peccato aver speso 4 euro per i cheat code quando non posso nemmeno giocare ai giochi.

NB: supporto tramite Discord inesistente

### 1/5 — Crasha dopo pochi secondi

*2025-12-17, version 2.3*

Impossible giocare. Ogni volta che apro un titolo, ho tentato ormai con 4/5 titoli diversi, sembra inizialmente funzionare, ma dopo pochi secondi torna al menu iniziale.

### 1/5 — Idk how

*2025-12-05, version 2.3*

It’s kinda hard to get/add a game into the playstick

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Amazing just a few slight problems

*2026-06-18, version 2.3.2*

theres no problems to the emulation, just the control buttons for the genesis are too small and can blend in with the game. So it would be nice to be able to adjust the d-pad and button size and opacity. And a button to screenshot your gameplay.

### 5/5 — Ad boy stürzt ab

*2026-02-07, version 2.3.1*

Ich habe das neue iOS Update gemacht aber das wurde automatisch aktualisiert und nach dem Update konnte ich nicht mehr auf ad boy zugreifen bitte beheben sie diese Probleme da ich sehr auf die App mich gefreut habe.
Ich hoffe es wird in Zukunft besser

### 5/5 — iOS maj26 crash

*2026-02-06, version 2.3.1*

A quand une mise à jour pour ios26 ?? 🤞🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

### 5/5 — Amazing! To notch

*2026-02-03, version 2.3.1*

I have tried many others and they all have quite a few issues. The speed is quite good, no lag. Only hiccup playing games has been on DS with a few glitches but it does not impede gameplay. Audio has been on par with the actual cartridges. The one improvement would be key bindings. As some games don’t have in game settings to change buttons. Other than that this truly is a remarkable app 👍 10 stars if possible.

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-01-24, version 2.3.1*

I’m liking a lot the app, but i think that with IOS 26.2 it has a few issues. The games close after a few seconds but i can assume it needs to be updated/tuned to work with this ios version

### 5/5 — New update

*2026-01-23, version 2.3.1*

It’s a good app but we need a n64 or 3ds update because I want to play my childhood games but I can’t really play any because they are mostly 3ds game that also run on n64 please I really want to play ocarina of time and majors mask

### 5/5 — Crashes still recommend

*2026-01-22, version 2.3.1*

So I was playing my game and it crashed somehow so I open it again and still crashed but it’s a good app for sega genesis and snes games

### 5/5 — Complimenti, una domanda…

*2026-01-17, version 2.3.1*

Ottimo emulatore! Una domanda: con il mio iphone sto giocando a Phoenix Wright e verso la fine del gioco chiede di soffiare! Ho provato a soffiare nel microfono ma non funziona, c’é qualche impostazione da cambiare altrimenti non posso andare avanti! Grazie

### 5/5 — Actualizacion IO26

*2026-01-12, version 2.3.1*

Es muy buena app pero me ha dejado de funcionar, se sale de la partida a cada momento.

### 5/5 — Add 3ds core

*2026-01-11, version 2.3.1*

Pls put the 3ds core it would be amazing and make the emulator free to pay and add cheats and put microphone
