### 1/5 — Faker

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-02-24, version 2.0.7*

Don’t waste your time with this trash

### 1/5 — Full of Ads

*2025-12-24, version 2.0.5*

I have never seen such amount of Ads in any platform ..I couldn’t touch anywhere…every 18 seconds two unstoppable ads shows up.. I deleted this app… why don’t the creators didn’t think about user experience …they only chasing money by depend on ads..shame on creators….

### 1/5 — Didn’t work at all

*2025-12-20, version 2.0.5*

Rotated ads over and over pushed in app purchases before even being able to try the app and it doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Worst one of these kinda apps

*2025-12-07, version 2.0.5*

The games are great and stuff but not to mention theres an ad for everything you do and also you cannot play for even 2 minutes without it saying “your free one minute is up watch an ad for another minute.” Just ruins the experience this is being deleted from my phone and personally if I was you i wouldn’t get this  app another’s are way better

### 1/5 — Do not get it

*2025-11-23, version 2.0.2*

First of all, there is probably going to be a major lawsuit from Nintendo, second of all you have to pay,third of all apparently someone almost got a virus.

### 1/5 — TOO MANNY ADDS

*2025-11-17*

every time I get into the app I get a ad every single time and it’s annoying I don’t know about the other stuff but getting this game is a waist of your time you might as well get the games in real life

### 1/5 — Better off with delta or manic

*2025-10-20, version 1.3.0*

Ads ads and more ads you open the app ad during setup half the screen is an ad and i couldnt finish setup it wouldnt let me just get delta or manic seeing as they are ad free and allow you to play games from other platforms

### 1/5 — Boring too many ads

*2025-10-03, version 1.2.4*

Most the game I play has no ads

### 1/5 — I have a different game

*2025-09-25, version 1.2.1*

Too many adds and doesn’t work and I recommend Delta or Manic The ones I just recommended are both really good emulators. and it has no adds! Just make sure you go on the right website and don’t get a virus downloading games

### 1/5 — Adds/Virus

*2025-09-21, version 1.2.0*

The absolute amount off adds when you get in is insane. Once you download your game and get to playing there become few and far between, but the problem is the game you downloaded was also a virus. Once you download that game it starts adding pop ups that can further damage your phone with viruses. So immediately delete the file and app off your phone before it’s too late.

### 5/5 — Used to be fun

*2025-09-19, version 1.2.0*

I actually liked the game at first, but now you really can’t play anything because first there’s adds, then you have a timer that only give u five minutes to play and more. USED TO BE FUN

### 5/5 — insanely good

*2025-09-14, version 1.1.7*

the only issue was the ads, the games saved and it had the best nintendo games. the pokémon grind is back on!

### 5/5 — Bro this is actually so good

*2025-08-31, version 1.1.3*

Down load this and delta

### 4/5 — I just wanted to play pokemon ruby!

*2025-11-28, version 2.0.3*

So I got the app to play pokemon ruby for the gba, but a lot of fake games like pokemon ultra violet, I Tried to play a pokemon Japanese pokemon game pokemon shining sun? it made a horoble sound of a crashing GBA, I was wearing MY HEDPHOUNES!!!!!!!!

### 4/5 — A bug or I just don’t know

*2025-09-15, version 1.1.8*

When I was in the app, it didn’t let me play GTA two and GTA Austin I made a report yesterday, but nothing happened so I just wanted to let know if you guys could fix the bug or tell me what I do because get it to tell me a message about GTA two is invalid GTA Austin is invalid also so if you can can fix it, I’ll be pleasured, but the app is good

### 4/5 — Lot of adds but works

*2025-09-12, version 1.1.7*

When I saw the ad first thing that came to mind was, can it play Pokémon? and after downloading it turns out yes some of the consuls that it says it can play games for is a lie, though it can just play game boy and game boy advanced games, but other than that it works a lot of un skippable adds being a major downfall

### 3/5 — Adds

*2025-11-24, version 2.0.2*

When I was in a boss fight and add kept popping up on my controlls killing me and making me restart a bunch. Other than that it was good

### 3/5 — Adds ads and more adds

*2025-10-07, version 1.2.7*

Turn off Wi-Fi to play without an add every minute

### 3/5 — Good game

*2025-09-27, version 1.2.1*

Good game but there are a few problems such as the ads not working properly and not being able to play the games. Another thing is the controller support doesn’t seem to work for me.

### 3/5 — One of the ads lied

*2025-09-08, version 1.1.6*

I downloaded it and it was great at first but the ad said it could have ds games but I searched up one and nothing pop up it’s basically online gameboy and advance games
