### 5/5 — Wow!  A must buy paid app.

*2025-05-22*

This is my very first time writing a review for any app and when I installed the roms that I owned the layout and gameplay was very nice.  You can even save the games right were you left off at. You can also use Bluetooth controllers. I then also installed some roms on my Apple Watch series 10 with ease. Please buy this app . I hope future updates will add more  options to talk about. Maybe a link cable option up to (4)players and also a fan community , so we can talk more about future options.👍

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review, it truly means a lot to me! Your feedback and encouragement really help me keep improving the app and adding new features.
As you mentioned, I’m indeed planning to add link cable support soon, and I’m also working on a new GBA emulator for the app. I love the idea of building a fan community where we can share thoughts and future ideas together.
Thanks again for your support and for taking the time to write your very first review , I truly appreciate it! 🙏😊

### 4/5 — Nintendo Games on your Watch!

*2024-12-21*

I love that this is even a thing. There's a lot of work that needs done before it's a "Complete" experience (Saves aren't transferable both ways and aren't currently reliable), but for single session slower paced games, this is an Awesome addition to the Watch Ecosystem.

**Developer response:** There’s a new version of NiN10 (1.9) available!
It now saves both game states and SNES game battery data when you save your progress. These will be saved as .sav and .ram files, with the battery data automatically loading when you start a game.
Additionally, a new icon has been added to the game list on the Apple Watch, allowing you to send saved games to your phone.
Best regards, and I hope this update enhances your gaming experience.
Thank you once again for your feedback and contributions!

### 4/5 — Not too shabby but needs some improvement

*2024-12-11*

Performance seems to be on top so that’s good, but audio for NES games seems to be messed up since you can only hear the higher frequencies. The controls are pretty bad but not too bad for Apple Watch. It just needs to be easier to reach the A and B buttons. Also hoping that GBA support comes !

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! 
Regarding the audio issue with NES games, does it happen with all games or only with specific titles? Also, I'd love to hear your thoughts on how the controls could be improved, do you mean just on the Apple Watch, or on the iPhone as well?
And yes, I do plan to add GBA support in the future! 
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and feedback.

### 4/5 — Whenever I try to load it on my Apple Watch 8:

*2024-10-24*

It says, *IT ISN’T INSTALLED ON MY IPHONE*?!?!

:-( :(

**Developer response:** That's strange. Try any of these options:
- Check if the app is installed on your iPhone
- Restart iPhone and Apple Watch
- Last option, unpair and re-pair Apple Watch (if needed)
If it still doesn’t work or you run into any other issues, feel free to send me an email with more details about it. 
Thanks!!

### 4/5 — OK, but need the volume controls

*2024-10-15*

Add a menu where you can adjust volume controls on Apple Watch

Edit, thank you for responding. I know this is super far-fetched. But it would be hilarious if you implemented in 64 games on Apple Watch. I know we run really bad but it would be funny.

**Developer response:** Of course, I'll try to add that in a future update. The next one will be focused on adapting the app for iPhone 16 and Apple Watch Series 10, but I'll keep this in mind for the following update. Thank you for your opinion and feedback, it really helps me improve the app.

### 4/5 — Awesome!

*2024-09-29*

It is a great emulator since I can now game at school. It was worth the money. Would’ve been 5 stars if better SNES support was added because some of my SNES games don’t work like Super Mario Kart, Doom and Star Fox. Still a great app I would recommend.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback and support. You're right that several games using external chips are currently experiencing issues, and I'm working to fix these in upcoming versions. Thanks for sharing which games aren't working, as it's challenging for me to test them all. So, once again, thank you for all.

### 1/5 — セーブされない

*2026-08-15*

ポケモン銀でレポートしても保存されない。
また、別なエミュレータで使用していたセーブデータを移行できるようにして欲しい

**Developer response:** ご不便をおかけしてしまい、申し訳ありません。

お手数ですが、まずはNiN10を最新バージョンにアップデートして、もう一度お試しいただけますでしょうか。

NiN10では、セーブステートとゲーム内のセーブデータ（バッテリーセーブ）を別々に保存しています。セーブステートは`.sav`ファイル、ゲーム内で「レポート」などを選択して保存したデータは`.ram`ファイルとして保存されます。

そのため、ポケモン銀でゲーム内のセーブを行った場合は、セーブステートではなくゲーム内セーブとして保存されている可能性があります。

また、他のエミュレータで使用していたセーブデータは、エミュレータによってデータの形式や保存方法が異なるため、そのままNiN10へ移行することはできません。

ただし、NiN10のセーブデータはiCloudに保存されるため、同じApple IDでNiN10を使用している別のデバイスからも自分のセーブデータを利用できます。

ご報告ありがとうございます。問題が続く場合は、ぜひお知らせください。改善に努めます！

### 1/5 — 有料のくせにzipに対応してないゴミアプリ

*2024-09-08*

paid app that doesn’t support zip is a trash app

**Developer response:** バージョン1.9.5からエミュレーターが.zipファイルに対応していることをお知らせします。ご意見ありがとうございます。よろしくお願いします！

### 2/5 — One problem

*2026-08-04*

I like the app, but the only problem is that they have a VIP to buy the console I was like dude who in the world would buy this please turn this into free

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback!

NiN10 is free to download, and both the NES and FDS cores are completely free to use. You can even play them on Apple Watch at no extra cost.

The additional console cores are optional one-time purchases that help support the ongoing development of the app. NiN10 has no ads and no subscriptions, once you unlock a core, it's yours forever.

I also try to keep the pricing as affordable as possible, and I hope it offers good value for the amount of work that goes into continuously improving the emulator and adding new systems.

Thanks again for trying NiN10 and for sharing your thoughts!

### 3/5 — Good but not great

*2025-03-28*

Its the best emulator on ios that can find however, the emulation on snes roms are too slow. It needs to be sped up a bit. Also, no settings? Not that I could find anyway. Most emulators have at least the barebones like button mapping, emulation speed, font and display adjustment, etc. If you aren’t going to have these then AT LEAST have accurate emulation. Otherwise it’s great.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback! I understand that emulation can have issues, and I’m continuously working on improving it. Keep in mind that performance can also depend on the device being used. Regarding additional options, I’m constantly adding more updates over time, and I take all feedback into account to implement new features. I really appreciate your opinion and will try to include more options like the ones you mentioned. Thanks again!

### 3/5 — Bluetooth compatibility

*2024-12-25*

Don’t get me wrong the emulator works but I can’t pair my Bluetooth controller to the app, there’s no setting or anything to enable Bluetooth. How do you pair a controller?

**Developer response:** Thank you for your comment! The issue is not with the emulator, as it automatically detects if a Bluetooth controller is connected and uses it by default. Please try pairing your controller again and ensure it’s working properly. If needed, close the app and reopen it, and it should start working automatically. If you continue to experience issues, feel free to let me know via email, and I’ll do my best to assist you further. Best regards!

### 3/5 — Super FX games?

*2024-10-05*

Whenever I launch a Super FX game, it never loads and stays on the Nintendo logo (or something else). I tried a beta version of Super Mario Kart and when I loaded into a race, it had Lakitu infinitely pull me. Please add support for Super FX for watch and iPhone, and at least iPhone. Everything else works though.

**Developer response:** Currently, the emulator does not support games with the Super FX chip, but I am working on adding that compatibility in future updates. Thank you for your support and feedback!

### 4/5 — 機種がまとまってるのがありがたいです

*2026-08-27*

早送り、リワインド、クイックセーブ、クイックロードの機能とボタンの追加、十字キーの斜め入力のオン/オフ機能を追加して欲しいです

### 4/5 — Questions and suggestions

*2026-03-14*

Why can‘t I delete the game? It’s so uncomfortable, because there are some game files that have problems, and they can‘t be sorted at will. The screen interface of this game selection is too rough, and the game archive can only save one.

**Developer response:** To delete a game, simply swipe left on the game you want to remove in the games screen, and the delete option will appear.
Regarding adding more save files, it’s something I’m planning to include in future updates. Thanks a lot for your suggestions!

### 4/5 — OK, but need the volume controls

*2025-09-09*

Add a menu where you can adjust volume controls on Apple Watch

**Developer response:** Of course, I'll try to add that in a future update. The next one will be focused on adapting the app for iPhone 16 and Apple Watch Series 10, but I'll keep this in mind for the following update. Thank you for your opinion and feedback, it really helps me improve the app.

### 4/5 — アプデ頻度が早い

*2025-02-22*

昨年のリリース初期はファミコンのみでしたがアプデでスーファミ、ゲームボーイ、ゲームボーイカラーにも対応しました。
AppleWatch上でファミコンとスーファミのタイトルが動くのはこのアプリだけだと思います。

**Developer response:** フィードバックありがとうございます。動作しないゲームがいくつかあることは認識しています。すべてのタイトルを確認することはできていませんので、動作しないタイトルを教えていただけると助かります。これらのゲームの不具合は次回のバージョンで順次解決していく予定です。ちなみに、FF3はバージョン1.6.2から正常に動作するようになりました。現在、ドラゴンクエスト4の動作にも取り組んでいます。ご協力ありがとうございます。

### 5/5 — Really great emulator for the watch, But needs more.

*2026-08-15*

Everything would’ve been perfect, it had the screen right, controls are great too, I wish you could do inputs and change controls through the watch crown because you can’t dual input on the watch. So being able to use the an and b buttons at the same time as the arrows would be PERFECT. (You did say crown inputs are a thing but it doesn’t seem to work for me, no inputs happen while using the crown, only when scrolling through games

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! The app already supports using the Digital Crown for inputs, so it should actually help with dual-input situations. It’s possible there’s a bug or that the current mapping isn’t as intuitive as it could be. I’ll review the implementation and also consider adding customizable Crown controls in the future 🙂

### 5/5 — Great emulator with 1 flaw

*2026-08-03*

Pls respond, I try to press the select button on voice mode thing cuz I wanna play smb1 with my voice but it crashes when I tap it, is this supposed to happen

**Developer response:** Thanks for reporting this!

No, that's not expected behavior. Could you send me a video/image to e7company@gmail.com, and let me know which iPhone/iPad model and iOS version you have?

Also, please make sure NiN10 has permission to access both Speech Recognition and the Microphone in Settings. If those permissions are disabled, let me know if enabling them fixes the issue.

If it still crashes, I'll investigate it further. Thanks!

### 5/5 — The person that played FNF on the watch here

*2026-07-25*

This is an amazing app and you can use this on your Apple Watch (and you don’t *need* to play just Nintendo games you can also play other games just as long as it works for what you wanna play it on “ex: DS or GB/GBC/GBA” and its pretty awesome)

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind review and for sharing your experience! It really means a lot. 
I'm also happy to let you know that, starting with NiN10 3.1, the audio issue affecting games made with BPCore-Engine has been fixed, so they should now play correctly with sound.
Thanks again for your support and for helping NiN10 grow!

### 5/5 — Plz refund

*2026-06-02*

I didnt mean to pay but there is no way to double check before paying;;

**Developer response:** Hello,
Thank you for your message. In-app purchases are presented within the app and must then be authorized through Apple's payment system. Developers do not have the ability to issue refunds, so if you believe the purchase was made by mistake, you can submit a refund request directly to Apple.
Best regards

### 5/5 — Really good sound quality and performance on nes games

*2026-04-11*

Good emulator

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback! I’m really glad you’re enjoying the sound quality and performance on NES games. I’m always working to make the emulation as accurate and smooth as possible, so comments like yours really help. If you ever have any suggestions or ideas, feel free to share them, they’re always welcome!

### 5/5 — Great Apple Watch emulator / great support from dev

*2026-02-10*

Had this app since I came across an article of how to play games on your Apple Watch , bought the premium version and worked fine for ages then an update broke access to premium features but the dev worked quickly to resolve all functionality once reported - great app / great support!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s always a pleasure to help and to keep improving NiN10. Your support really means a lot and helps make the emulator better for everyone 🙌

### 5/5 — I love this app, needs work though

*2026-02-10*

The GameBoy emulator ArcEmu has the scroll wheel configured to be button presses, scroll up is button A, scroll down is button B. Having this implemented in your app would make this emulator way more functional. Also snes save states keep crashing/freezing the game

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback! Those are great ideas, and I’ll definitely look into adding them to the emulator. The scroll wheel mapping suggestion sounds really interesting and could be a great improvement for usability.
I’ll also review the SNES save state crashing/freezing issue and see what might be causing it so I can work on a fix.
Thanks again for your suggestions, they really help me improve the app!

### 5/5 — アクセシビリティ機能があるのが素晴らしい

*2026-02-05*

とくにOCR読み上げがありがたいです。

**Developer response:** ご感想ありがとうございます。そう言っていただけて本当に嬉しいです。
良いエミュレーターを作ることはもちろんですが、アクセシビリティや言語の壁に関係なく、できるだけ多くの方に楽しんでもらえるアプリにしたいと考えています。OCR読み上げのような機能が役立っていると聞けるのは、とても励みになります。
こうしたご意見があるからこそ、もっと良くしていこうという気持ちになります。ご要望やアイデアがあれば、いつでも大歓迎です。本当にありがとうございます。

### 5/5 — This is only getting better

*2025-07-20*

I want to thank all the devs for making this such a masterpiece. Now that GBA is added I can play an even bigger selection of games on my watch.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words and support! It truly means a lot to me and helps motivate me to keep improving the app every day. I'm really glad you're enjoying the new GBA support, there's still more to come, and feedback like yours is what helps shape the future of the project. 
Thanks again!
