No functionality and robbed my rom. Remove it- **Developer response:** Hi, I’m sorry to hear you’re having a bad experience. Your review is a bit unclear, so I’m not sure what went wrong. The app does not remove or “steal” ROMs, and I’d like to help figure out what happened. Please contact support and let us know: * What device and iOS version you’re using. * What happened when you imported your ROM. * Any error messages or screenshots, if possible. We’ll do our best to investigate and help you get everything working correctly. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Охринеть не встать ! *2026-06-20* Очень круто ! Давно ищу как можно поиграть в игры Денди и Сега и Снес ! Спасибо вам за разработку эмулятора для айфонов! Круто ! ### 1/5 — 无法正常打开nes *2026-06-03* 无法正常使用 ### 4/5 — Nice emu *2026-04-28* It’s a emulator, download roms from google. It lacks the reset button if you want to reset game otherwise a good game. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-04-13* Amazing emulator ### 2/5 — Kein Reset von Spielen möglich *2026-04-04* Die App ist genial. Leider kann ein Spiel nicht neugestartet werden. Wenn ein Spiel durchgespielt ist kommt man nicht mehr an den Anfang zurück! Das ist total Schade. Die Funktion war früher verfügbar. Wenn Reset wieder möglich ist gibt es mehr Sterne! **Developer response:** Es tut uns leid, dass diese Funktion aktuell nicht wie erwartet funktioniert. Wir verstehen, wie wichtig ein Reset für das Spielerlebnis ist, особенно nach dem Durchspielen eines Spiels. Wir arbeiten bereits daran, dieses Problem zu beheben und die Reset-Funktion so schnell wie möglich wieder bereitzustellen. Vielen Dank für dein Feedback und deine Geduld! ### 4/5 — Screen controller needs improvement *2026-01-20* If you’re confused - add the ROMs that you already have (just google how to get them). The scanlines feature is alright. The controller needs improvement. If you have a Bluetooth controller you should be fine. 4/5 stars ### 1/5 — Worst emulator *2025-10-07* l tred to play some games but there was literally just two games I tried to search Super Mario bros and it didn’t even have! ### 1/5 — Brutto *2025-10-05, version 2.2.0* Non ha senso! Entri e prima cosa ti chiede di abbonarti per salvare i progressi, io ho rifiutato e quando sono entrato c erano DUE giochi, DUE, flame e scroll, flame devi guardare un fuoco, basta, scroll devi girare a caso in sto coso con robe a caso. E bruttissimo! Vuole solo i soldi pk se fai l abbonamento ti dà tutti i giochi. ### 2/5 — Audio *2025-09-30* The emulator is good, but it has a slight problem with the audio. Some NES games like the first Ghosts ‘n Goblins, or the fanmade mantle.nes have music missing a track. ## Frequently asked questions about eNES ### What is eNES? eNES is a lightweight retro emulator for iOS designed to let you play classic NES and SNES games.
