I've used this emulator for years now and I can say it's absolutely solid. $5 is a steal. This would be an easy 5 stars. However, please stop pestering me to sync my email. It's unnecessary when the "Sync to Google Drive" option is disabled in the settings. If I want to sync my saves, I'll do it myself. If the option is disabled, don't send me daily notifications to allow access. It's annoying and a bit suspicious. If this is fixed, then I will give this 5 stars. Until then, it gets two.

Been better. Have been using this emulator for years. Possibly since the beginning. Recently the controls have been buggy. And soda can't get into the buttons. Looked for an update, saw the last update was 2017. Can we please get a bug update? First issue with this came around a week ago. Cleaned up my phone to make sure my phone wasn't bugging out, haven't had an issue with anything else. Love the emulator and have for years, getting annoying to use.

Most of the time, an emulator excels by not being noticed. That the game runs as it would were it not emulated. To my surprise, this emulator also gives you the power to improve the game in some ways! I will save the fan-boy gushing about playing my favourite gba games again and just say "worth every penny."

Every day, multiple times sometimes, a notification will come up requesting access to your Google account. This is an unnecessary permission that has no legitimate purpose. Makes you wonder why they want it so bad. It will push this notification for every account you have on your phone. I use four accounts so I get between four and twelve notifications every day. This is very frustrating. Overall this is a very good emulator, games run smooth, speedhacks are nice, and the save states work well.

So far it's been my favorite GBA emulator on phone due to how simple it looks and to use. Tried several others, always find them either have messy menu or UI. That said, unfortunately the app hasn't been updated for quite a time, while other popular emulators still get constant update. Also the permission to access Gmail is shady, just like others mentioned. Though it only asked me one time in beginning, and after being rejected, it never appears again so far.

Even if you deny the pernission to access your Google accounts and turn off the "Sync to Google Drive" setting, the app will still keep requesting the permission every single day through a notification, which is incredibly annoying. The emulator is perfect otherwise. I wanted to send a bug report instead of leaving a review but there's no option to do that in the app's menu... Might want to add that in so people can report issues and give you a chance to fix them before writing a review.
