A great Emulator to use. I really enjoy using this one. Though I do prefer another gba Emulator over this one. But I like using both. But what I don't like with this one is, the overall fast forward speed is a little disappointing, the other one I use has a faster speed and some cheats I've entered in, this Emulator has rejected saying the codes are incorrect, but they work absolutely fine on the other GBA Emulator that I prefer to use.

Excellent. The A button is close to my home button so I close it out on accident every now and then but I just open it right back up and its fine.

I love this emulator. Its great! Ive played lots and lots of games on it. But i have a problem. When i press the search button, it doesn't detect some of the games that i downloaded. Please fix this. Overall great emulator! I wouldn't have chosen any other one.

Great emulator! Never had a frame drop at all! I have a potato phone that can't handle most mobile games, so this is honestly perfect for me!

Plays GBA ROMs with no issues. Had to search for some settings but for the most part it can do basically everything i'd expect of it. I have not used the free version.

It's a decent app but there's a bug which prevents me from completing Zelda Minish Cap. It's an old bug and the fact that there hasn't been an update to fix this is reason enough for me to rate it poorly. Last update was in Jan. Lol.
