What the hell?!?!

I wish I could rate it zero stars, none of the reviews said anything about pricing, so I thought it was free, it is on the App Store, but the second I open the app, the company that made it asked for $20 a month. I tried to uninstall the app, but my phone wont let me. Screw this app and all the people who made it!
DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!

Needs a subscription

I don’t like this game because it needs a subscription for everything even the beginning survey then they give you the hope of reliving your childhood again by letting you download the games only to make you pay for a subscription to play it the only free part of the app is the installation of said app everything else on there needs a subscription one star hands DOWN!!!

Menu button

Pls make it so that if u hit the menu button that it asks “r u sure?” Because it’s way too sensitive and easy to hit by accident. Do that, I give u 5 stars😊

A complete joke

Was a half decent GB emulator but the ‘added new features’ update was basically changing it to a subscription model ! £6.99 a week ! What a joke. Just get Delta which is free and is far better. Shame the dev got greedy. Would he seriously pay £6.99 a week for this app ? Just greed and stupidity ! AVOID Plus lots of fake 5 star reviews ! A lot of fake 5 star reviews for this app. Totally fake

Thanks for your feedback — we understand your frustration. The subscription was introduced to support ongoing updates and improvements, while core features remain available. We know pricing won’t suit everyone, and we’re taking your input into account. We also want to assure you that we do not use fake reviews and are committed to transparency. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

Absolutely love the app

I would like to suggest two things the first one being if at all possible adding the original music to the games and the second one being to add a two factor authentication when you hit the menu button having a popup come up and make you confirm if you really want to leave the game also fixing the sound issues and the lagging that’s occurring with the sound it’s constantly cracking and breaking up and the lagging issues are a bit frustrating

Games

I like how this app has it all, but I can’t play because I can’t pay. My parents won’t purchase anything that is in a game unless if I buy stuff myself. I know your just trying to make money, so I suggest like cosmetics and points. In other games they have points as in game currency, and these points could buy more games, and I suggest that if a player wants more points they would have to pay for it.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We’re always looking for ways to make the app more accessible while still supporting ongoing development. We’ll definitely pass your feedback and suggestions to our team for consideration in future updates.

Why do I have to pay to play my games??!

I can’t play any games because it keeps forcing me to pay some stupid subscription. You have got to at least have us pay for more features, and not charge us to play games.

Can’t play anything

I was pretty excited to play this game, everything looked good, until i tried to boot up NSMB, suddenly, the game tried forcing me to buy stuff, I ignored it, expecting to then play the game. Turns out, you need to PAY to actually use the game, also lots of the art for the game looked to be either stolen from other artists, or straight up AI SLOP. Most of these 5 star reviews may just be alt accounts, Improve your game, don’t make people pay to simply use what your game is about, and maybe put more effort into it, too.

Todo un engaño

No existe soporte, te obliga a pagar para cualquier cosa. No se puede jugar. Este tipo de engaños deberían borrarlos de la store.
