Full of ads, very hard to play games, game controls cover the screen
useless!
terrible ads
Paid 30$ for premium and I still get ads. Do not pay for this product
horrible had to change settings now I uninstalled the game and I still have ads popping up constantly on my cell phone!
bruh its only ads. thats the whole app. ads.
The buttons do not respond. I have to button Mash in order for it to sense my finger which makes gameplay very frustrating.

It's like a human or anything else they make. A waste of life.
Too many ads.

I tried to open this app several times. the first time it showed me an ad, every time after that I just got an infinite loading screen.
full of ads
Awful, very awful. Too many ads. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS RUBBISH APP!! There are plenty other emulator options to play your GBA games without the constant disruptions of ads!
This app is ridiculous.
Dont waste your time, the emulator is weak and very inconsistent, can barely make it past the heart filling loading screen sometimes.
stealing my money
no use
So bad
Genuinely no idea why this app doesn't have a "are you sure you want to override this save file?" function. It's highly impractical especially when the save and load icons look insanely similar, leading users to accidentally override save files they did not mean to. Fix this please!!
1 time use only loading and adds worst emulator
if don't pay can't pay
too much ads
very poor ...
horrendous. played pokemon red, saved my game 5 times, closed the app, reloaded to my save missing. good job 👍
deleted all my games and when I used THEIR links to download them again they sent me to weird sex sites. inappropriate and gross
give me back my money
not working properly 😭😞
Doesn't load. loading icon Spins forever. unusable
This app is overpriced, the cheats don't work right and usually just break the game.
waaay too many ads
not free
trash can
UPDATE: I have reached out to their customer service for a refund and have not received a reply. I have started a dispute thru my bank. This emulator is fundamentally flawed and will erase your game save files at random. I have lost days worth of gameplay multiple times. It does have save state, which works great, but some games stop operating correctly if only played with save states. I am waiting to hear back from their customer service. I will change my rating according to their actions.
ITS ONLY FREE FOR 3 DAYS!!!!
Awful scam app. having to pay to unlock multiple systems is criminal. also, the AI generated assets are awful. Just pay $2.99 for GBA.emu on the playstore.
Too many adds...
My experience was terrible. It automatically subscribed to 170 pesos without my knowledge. The money that I am collecting using my e-wallet is gone because of this app. I HATE THIS APP!
no deja usar la app y pbliga a calificar es de pago
ads this sucks
need subscribe
ads or pay 30$
Garbage. It could not scan a 3rd of my roms and is so money hungry that there were multiple ads even though I hadn't even started playing the games yet. Please go for Retroarch or Pizza Boy they're miles ahead and free with no ads
before you download its run by money
way too many adds
Asked for a review before even getting to use it
This garbage wont even load.
haven't used it yet but one star
ads everywhere. these morons are oblivious to why people emulate in the first place.
