I can’t even contact support, that part is broken too and forget about running mods….Disappointed ### 4/5 — Love the app. *2026-06-29, version 1.2.0* Recommend all my friends to download it but I cannot get my save games to load. I have to keep restarting :( hopefully it gets fixed soon but everything runs great and it’s worth the money. ### 2/5 — Games *2026-06-27, version 1.2.0* I’ve just subscribed but I don’t see any games. My game just disappeared ### 2/5 — Great app but one big issue gets in the way *2026-06-15, version 1.2.0* I’ve been playing through the Pokemon games from DS, and I’ve noticed with pearl, platinum and heart gold (that’s all I’ve played so far) that you can only play up until the elite four. Once the credits have run, there is no way of continuing. This is a really frustrating experience due to this. It feels like the game is cut short and you’re left with no option but to move onto another game after an abrupt end. It doesn’t seem to be an issue with Pokemon fire red, I think it may be the DS games only. But this is a big issue ### 1/5 — Rom is Corrupted *2026-05-20, version 1.2.0* The trial worked great for the zelda games i played, after the week ended, every single game except for those 2 either crashes my phone or says ROM is corrupted. Something is off about the code in this app as well. ### 3/5 — okay *2026-05-08, version 1.2.0* great emulator, ads shown you could trade with actual hardware on pokemon games but emulator just crashes when you try to use it ### 1/5 — Re downloaded can’t use *2026-05-06, version 1.2.0* I re downloaded on my new phone and can’t use it. I can’t look for games and nothing. ### 4/5 — Fun *2026-05-05, version 1.2.0* Love the app just wish there was a section where it kept the games you have downloaded and not have to find it in all the other games ### 1/5 — Cannot Play Any Games *2026-05-04, version 1.2.0* Cannot even load a single GBA game without paying $5 per month. Can’t even test the app before we pay for it. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-05-02, version 1.2.0* Downloaded this game for the old Zelda games and I was so exited to play it, that I got the yearly subscription without even thinking about it and turns out there is no games at all. My boyfriend has tried to even share the games with me since it gives you a “option” to, but apparently you can’t. So 20 dollars down the drain, I want my money back. ### 2/5 — Some games won’t load *2026-04-10, version 1.2.0* I keep trying to get certain games like Yoshi Storg for example to load but it never does. I’ve stared at the black screen for 20 mins and it never loaded. It’s so sad as I pay money for this subscription and can’t play all games ### 1/5 — No controller support 😞 *2026-04-07, version 1.2.0* Will not be renewing until this gets controller support ### 1/5 — No controller support 😞 *2026-04-07, version 1.2.0* Will not be renewing until this gets controller support ### 1/5 — No games *2026-03-26, version 1.2.0* I paid the sub n have no games ### 1/5 — Scammed me for 40 dollars for a lifetime subscription. *2026-03-18, version 1.2.0* Don’t pay this scammers any money. You’re not gonna receive the product they are advertising, instead you’ll just lose your money. Hope this review helps anyone, don’t make my mistake. ### 1/5 — STOP *2026-03-16, version 1.2.0* Stop taking my money. I canceled this subscription but you keep taking my money ### 1/5 — STOP Taking My MONEY! *2026-03-16, version 1.2.0* I canceled this subscription but you keep taking my money! ### 1/5 — Changed the app completely and took my $40 *2026-03-16, version 1.2.0* I bought this at the end of last year and downloaded games on it for $40 lifetime. They had a ton of games for multiple consoles. I changed phones and now they updated the app or something and removed every game. Support will not answer. DO NOT BUY ### 1/5 — Sucks for me *2026-03-14, version 1.2.0* My R button on GBA is not mapped to anything. Renders the game unplayable. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy this *2026-03-13, version 1.2.0* The game sucks at saving ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Gave me a virus. *2026-08-30, version 1.2.0* I downloaded the app and my phone started glitching, I got a billion pop ups and didn’t stop till I deleted the app ### 1/5 — Save Files Not Opening *2026-08-03, version 1.2.0* I have a few hours of Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story on the app. My progress had multiple auto saves on the app. When I booted the app yesterday and tried to load my latest autosave, it said “failed to load” I tried all my other auto saves and it was the same. I tried loading an autosave for another DS game I had downloaded and it worked fine there with no issues. Please could you help me fix this as I do not want to lose several hours of progress and start over. I tried reaching out on your customer support page but I was unable to submit a message. I’m tempted to get a refund for my subscription. ### 1/5 — Game Freezes *2026-07-25, version 1.2.0* Inevitably playing a game on here it will glitch and freeze in app, and then all progress you made playing the game is moot thanks to it freezing. Fun until it’s not anymore. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-07-21, version 1.2.0* Cancelled my subscription. They still tried charging me $7 afterwards lol. I am not paying that. Edit: they tried telling me to cancel my already cancelled subscription after they tried getting $60 more lol. SCAM SCAM SCAM ### 1/5 — Attention: **NOT FREE** *2026-07-17, version 1.2.0* Can’t start the game, it shows the “buy premium” ad and no way to bypass that ### 1/5 — Same bs *2026-07-10, version 1.2.0* Same games never any updates ### 1/5 — NOT FREE *2026-07-09, version 1.2.0* Can’t start the game, it shows the “buy premium” ad and no way to bypass that ### 1/5 — Wasted money for nothing *2026-06-24, version 1.2.0* In order to try and upload a rom to see if it even works, I was forced to pay 3.99. I usually use a different emulator but for some reason, about 15% of my games crash on my go-to emulator. So I downloaded this so I can play those games as well, was forced to pay 3.99 just to try and even run the Roms that were crashing on my main emulator with the result being ‘rom corrupted’ and the app shutting down. Obviously I tried numerous roms, and roms that work well on my main emulator. Same result ‘rom corrupted’. Went to contact support for a refund and I couldn’t even successfully click the ‘send message’ button. In the end, I was forced to pay a weekly subscription fee to attempt to run a sega rom before knowing if it even worked. It didn’t and now I’m out 3.99 for no real reason. Please be fair and refund me ### 1/5 — trash *2026-06-14, version 1.2.0* constant spam for premium. devs, commit sudoku please. ### 1/5 — I lost my data *2026-05-30, version 1.2.0* I got a new phone and all my data is lost!!! I tried to reach out but the support page don’t even work ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Game *2026-02-22, version 1.2.0* Nice ### 5/5 — Nice app but *2026-02-15, version 1.2.0* I love the app… I just would love to have the option to us an actual physical controller.. Is there any updates? I had a backbone controller ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-02-08, version 1.2.0* Nostalgic save state work well only suggestion is having skins for the GBC and GBA or other consoles would make this even more premium and add more titles ### 5/5 — joystick *2026-01-27, version 1.2.0* overall great app and all but please make having a joystick an option because for some games, the d pad doesn’t really work well. ### 5/5 — Cheats? *2026-01-21, version 1.2.0* Great emulator. Is there a way to add cheats into games? ### 5/5 — Long Time Listener, First Time Caller… *2026-01-03, version 1.2.0* I don’t think I’ve ever left a written review for an app but I felt compelled to share how much I love this emulator! It is the RonCo set-it-and-forget-it of emulator apps for iOS. I have only one question/concern…does it support controllers? The haptic response is great, don’t get me wrong, but how great would a full screen game with external peripherals be, amiright? Anywho, thanks for making the process headache free and ready to go as soon as you install. And yes, I purchased the full install, eff that subscribe shnizz. I want it ALL, and I want it NOW! ### 5/5 — Add more games *2025-12-23, version 1.2.0* Add more games before we uninstall please! ### 5/5 — Issue with saved games *2025-12-17, version 1.2.0* Hi there, ive been playing Pokemon diamond on the NDS and I cannot load my game from where I was up to. Even though I can see the quick saves and the auto saves. It was working fine but now I cannot get on. I’ve tried to reboot the app and i’ve turned my device on and off. Can you look into this please? The app has been great and don’t want to lose my saved data ### 5/5 — Import rom/games *2025-10-12, version 1.2.0* What type of files are supported in order to import them in? ### 5/5 — New skins *2025-10-08, version 1.1.7* Please revert to old GBA skins. Certain menu options do not work the same anymore with the ROM I’m running otherwise love the app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
