Lucky Emulator – GBA & DS Comments & Reviews 2026

Amazing But…... I have been loving the app (playing Pokemon of course) but it would be amazing if we could play DS Games as well. So please consider adding DS Game Support for the app. (Also thx for giving me my childhood in app form) I grew up with these games & the ps2 back in 2005

Too few features. I bought this emulator expecting to at least be able to import my own .zip files but nah, stuck with a select list. Additionally, there’s no option to add any cheats, there are only 3 UI skins, and no real settings. The UI is kinda cool I guess which is why I’m giving this 2 stars and not 1, but nonetheless $9.99 for something you could EASILY find for free. A better emulator is Delta, it’s free and has like 3x the features and 5x the performance, plus you can add your own ROMs.

Never though I could find a game to bring me to a state of joy. I was stuck doing homework then found this game on my phone so I was like why not? And it was so fun Mario is a must try also Pokémon is a great game

Completely won’t restore my purchase. I bought the premium yearly version of the app and it says I am good until January 2026 but it won’t let me past the screen to play my roms. I am very disappointed because it did work flawlessly for a couple of weeks. I would not recommend this. Please do not get scammed. I have read a few reviews similar to this and not one response given by the developer. So it’s pretty obvious they aren’t investing their time into solving this issue.

Phenomenal performance. Because i remember those GBA games as kid after I became an big sister on memory but I will always remember them as games at heart ❤️ and mind including after school I had to study 📚 through elementary to college. As me and my tomboy sister did climbed the ladders 🪜 as family board games, cards, GBA, DS, DSi, IPod, iPhone, 3DS, iPad and finally Nintendo Switch to play from after school as kids and finally evolved into adults.

Yes, 1000x, yes!. Cheap and reasonable for a plethora of nostalgic choices to choose from! Even for just the pokemon it is well worth it! classic meets modern, old game with small updates to help with the slow pace you dont want but, the action you crave! I am not someone to spend money on any app unless it is worth it and 100% this is worth it! Now excuse me while I train my Mudkip haha I may help Middle Earth later

Gave 5 stars so people see this. I tried the game and it was okay at first, but the controls were kinda confusing and I could only get one free save before I had to watch ads to save again. I played for ten minutes then restarted because the music stopped, but when I came back on it told me to either sign up the the VIP pass or watch an ad, then watch another one to enter the game, and when I got back in, my save was gone, and I had to start a new game. Never playing again. 0/5

Wonderful app, but…. I’ve been having a blast replaying Pokemon Emerald on this emulator, but I decided today I wanted to play something new. The plus button on the upper right corner is gone now, with no way to access the catalog of GBA games. I will be continuing to play Emerald, but I am upset I can’t access anything new :(

It’s really awesome but one problem. It’s awesome and really fun, i enjoy playing all the classics and is really fun, only problem i have is with the direction switch, usually have a slight problem with it when i press the direction the character goes the opposite way sometimes, sometimes i press up and usually goes down or to the side, usually have that problem with the Namaco and Mario ones. Also would like control settings. Thanks

Keeps asking me to buy. I purchased the yearly plan, i downloaded a few roms, they work great some lag such as max pain, but them after a few days of use it kept asking me to sign up, & it no longer gave me access to the download website, i tried contacting support it goes straight to a pdf file online stating their terms and conditions, some of my save files have disappeared and i cant access my saved games

Good app, but something’s wrong??. At first this app was awesome. Could download and play many games I loved as a kid. But now, I can’t download any games, and after paying $9.99 for the yearly, it asks me to purchase VIP again?? Not sure what that’s all about. Overall, not a bad app, just a few things that don’t really make sense. If I can get my VIP back and be able to download games again, I’ll change my review.

More games. Can you add even more games like Pokémon infinite fusions and other popular Pokémon rom hacks and more games for the other games as well that’ll be great. P.s please update the app so it doesn’t crash so often when playing Pokémon light platinum. P.S I came back to do my review again because they’re removing games that were previously available which I want to know why like I’m sure they’re probably not going to add any new games or more rom hacks of Pokémon which is unfortunate if you did had those rom hacks already installed then make sure you don’t delete them because if you do there will be no way to redownload it again since it’s been removed from the official website.

Pleasantly Surprised!!!. I was both genuinely and pleasantly surprised to find that the app offers TRULY FREE games to download and play! Sure, if you don’t pay for subscription you have to sit thru ads when you first download a new game, but I’ve been playing Pokémon Fire Red for a couple hours now and haven’t encountered ANY in-game ads! And the gameplay is great!

Works great, keep losing my save file.. I purchased the app, and also the $10 subscription for this app because of how well it works. My only huge issue is that I keep completely losing my save file for my games. I don’t know if I am doing something wrong but I make sure to save it within the game. I have lost 6 hours worth of playtime on a game which is really unfortunate. Hopefully this can get fixed asap!

Enjoyable but crashes often and deletes saves. I love the ease of use with this app, however the app completely crashes often, and deletes my in-game save data. Save states work, but can be very hard to locate a specific save state as it saves all of them. Would be top quality and worth paying the extra money for the additional game slots if these issues were fixed.

Listen I don’t have much to complain about.. I would like to be able to activate an RTC(real time clock) the game says that the emulator needs the option so it can run it in the rom. I cannot run the RTC in my game bc the emulator isn’t giving the option to activate it

APP IS FINE. Just in pokemon team rocket got stuck on mission in pokemon tower where maroghost destroys all my pokemon… i wonder can i buy the premium yearly and get cheats to get rare candy to get around that one battle?

Amazing but…. This game is amazing it’s just the ads but if makes sicne so they can get money if you guys allow a option to spend money for no ads without doing a supscription I would love this game way more

Awesome and for low subscription price, but…. I’m having an issue where the app won’t recognize I paid the yearly subscription a month ago and continue receiving ads to repurchase a sub. Sometimes I can circumvent it easily and sometimes I have to repeatedly restart the app.

i cant even open the app now after paying for the plus subscription. the app was working fine until i purchased the yearly Plus subscription, now the app wont open and i cant even choose the option to write a review when bringing up the delete menu on the Iphone 8

Crashing. I love it so far with the Pokémon games and other classics but I’ve had it just close on me randomly a few times and one of those times didn’t keep my last save. Overall love it but please fix the crashing.

It actually works!. I didn’t believe it but the ads were 100% accurate and now I’m playing my entire childhood on my phone. Amazing.

Option for ONE TIME Pruchase. I love it. Just downloaded and already hit with nostalgia playing my childhood games. I can see myself playing and using this app for 10+ years but I cannot see myself paying $10 a year for 10+ years. Please have an option for a one-time purchase.

So close to perfect. Wanna be clear I’m only giving this one star so the developers actually read this. This is a 4.9 star app easily. PLEASE make it so that it doesn’t pause our music from other apps and it’ll be probably the best app on the App Store. Otherwise, great job and thanks for putting this out there and indulging me in my childhood memories. The very reasonably priced $10 for a year of premium was the easiest call I’ve made on an in-app purchase.

Probably my favorite app. I’ve had this app for a few days and it’s already my favorite app. I’m playing Fire Emblem Sacred Stones and it works perfectly! Looking forward to playing my favorite Pokémon games next along with Final Fantasy and Advance Wars

Great app, but one issue. I really like the idea of playing classic video games on the phone, because I myself am a gamer and I do enjoy a couple of classic video games, but I don’t like the idea that you’ve gotta pay for it though, that’s what I don’t like about this app. 4/5

Fast Reply/Resolution of issues. Downloaded and paid 10$ for the yearly subscription. Noticed a few days later that I was still getting ads and being asked to pay for a subscription. HOWEVER, I emailed the company, and they responded in the same day, very polite, and informed they were working on the problem. They released an update a within days fixing the issue. Overall, great customer service, and there’s tons of games available to play.

My opinion about the game. I’m don’t have much to complain about the game I like the game about all the game boy games it’s good but the music it stops this happens because of the ants takes you to on a place and will cancel the music rarely it will bring back the music, but it must say you just play without the music you can save it, but it will have better than saving in like the original wayin the new way. It was just make worse.

Great app…..!!!. Why is it that we already have to pay if we don’t want ads but now we have a time limit to play, which wasn’t an issue when I first downloaded the app a month ago. Big disappointment on that.

Just an opinion. Where do I go for more games if I want to search different ones after all the whole thing is living it’s absolutely different if u haven’t got to play these games but have the chance to feel how they felt playing back then my pops n them told me it’s fun?

CANT DOWNLOAD NEW GAMES. When I click on game installation it no longer takes you to a list of games to download??? Also won’t let you import from other websites therefore completely useless since update!!! Please fix this!

So far so good. I don’t have that much playtime on this app yet the only real complaint I have so far is that the screen for the games is a bit small compared to the rest of the UI so my only real complaint would be just to add an option to make the game window bigger

It pressures you into VIP. I have been playing this for only an hour and I have realized that it’s a total pay to play. Unless you plan to play it all in one go, you are forced to watch ads to save your game. And I can’t even delete old save files because it said my free time to play was up, forcing me to either pay for VIP or get 30 minutes of VIP followed by another ad! All I wanted to do was play Pokemon!

Fun But Not Fast. A ton of your old favorite games are here, worth to buy in general. I’m trying to play some of my favorites and games from my childhood like Metroid Fusion and the controls are atrocious for it. Calling it tank controls would be a compliment, it’s infuriating how bad this feels to control. And i’m talking about the way the app runs, not the og controls of the game. Between autosaves that happen during boss battles that FREEZE the game, and with there no way to adjust where the buttons are on the screen i’m having to use three fingers to use the right side of the emulator. Using a phone and a touch screen means that you have to have perfect input and luck, because sometimes the buttons don’t respond when they are pressed. Allow me to adjust where the buttons are, and turn off the autosaves. That is, my only complaint.

Stuck on flip screen. For some reason when I open the app and press the game to play. the screen that says you get a better experience if you flip the phone pops up, but it won’t let me clear the screeen to play the game. So I’m stuck in this screen that won’t move. I even turned the Lock Screen off like it says hoping to get Rid of the screen but it just sits there

HOLY COW!. This is not what I expected at all I love it! It’s nice because it allows me to try games I would not previously been able to because they are so expensive individually. Thank you for the game I’ll recommend to my friends to play!

Tomodachi life. I’m absolutely loving this app I think it would be great if I could play a game I’ve always wanted to play but never got the chance to, Tomodachi life if it’s ever added I fear this app would become a addiction

No cheats for games.. Works good. Plays decent. Although.. how does it not use game shark or game genie? 😒 that’s a huge downfall. That’s like a main reason people use emulators. Well 🙄 if anyone wants an emulator that allows you to use codes to make the experience a little more enjoyable this isn’t the right app for you. Not even worth a 10 dollar subscription to get rid of ads.

Crash. I’ve not had a single problem with this app till now. I’ve been able to play some really nostalgic games like gbc Pokémon and I’ve been really happy. Decided to pay for the subscription and INSTANTLY it kept crashing. Restarted my phone still crashed. Deleted and redownloaded, still crashed. If i can’t play it after paying, just give my money back and reset it and I’ll keep the blasted ads. If this issue is resolved, I’ve no problem changing my rating, but this is more than frustrating. Update: 10 days after writing my initial review, still no contact from anyone, and the app still will not open.

App Crashes - Won’t Open. Purchased the $10 subscription, played for a few days. Once the update happened, my app will not open anymore. Click to open it, starts to try to load up, then crashes. I have been trying for 3 days. Attempted to reach out to the app via email but have yet to get a response. I very much enjoyed playing but now it no longer works.

Love it, but needs more variety. As far as I’ve found, reasonable price and overall beautiful gameplay. Only problem, needs more than just Pokémon, unless I just can’t find it there is no other games and having a Mario, crash bandicoot, Zelda, or even banjo kazooie could make this a 5 star experience

LuckyEmulator. I walked into this emulator, thinking that all retro games were bad just because they were old and had bad graphics. Spy was pleasantly surprised, especially with the Lego Star Wars game I spent hours just killing clone troopers and battle droids. It was incredible and when I thought Anakin Skywalker as Obi-Wan Kenobi it was so exciting. It was almost just as exciting as the movies and when I fought Palpatine Yoda, I had never felt such adrenaline rushing Exhilaration before it was awesome. This whole app is just incredible and it really proves that just because the game is old, doesn’t mean it’s bad.

Addition. I think it’s great nothing wrong no ads no freezing or or force closing highly recommended one thing should be added is being able to add cheat codes because certain games have certain events and only way to go back is with AR add a way to drop cheat codes pleasaeee

Options for cheats. Great app! Use it to play old Pokemon games but can’t complete the Pokédex unless I trade (which is impossible) or have cheats. Wondering if there will ever be an option to add cheats or if it’s even possible.

Way To Greedy.. You guys are way to greedy, you get paid from the ads but on top of all that you want people to pay for a weekly or yearly subscription. I mean I understand but dude your running ads there should be no reason why I only get a few minutes of play time when your RUNNING ADS. People will pay for the subscription when they find themselves not wanting to watch ads and get tired of skipping the ads not a force pay to play cause you guys want to limit play time. I’m literally one of those guys who gets tired of ads and pay to remove ads but you literally blew it with the time limit.

Scammers. This app is a scam get delta instead. I paid for 9.99 yearly subscription. I spent days playing Pokemon and gaining soo much progress. Then I updated the app on the App Store and returned to the app and my subscription wasn’t working. I tried to restore my purchase multiple times but that also didn’t work. I became frustrated and deleted the app, thinking that all my saved data would still be in there and boy was I wrong. Not only did my subscription not restore but all my progress was lost. Please I’m begging you do not install this app.

Audio issues and ads. Day 3 now and i’ve had to restart the emulator on my iphone 13 to get the audio to work properly. It just mytes randomly sometimes, and the background music loop tends to scratch occasionally. Otherwise has been free, so no further complaints.

This is meant more for a cash grab (get delta it’s free). There’s a lot of ad’s. It won’t emulate some of the roms I have already, and false advertising because it shows them playing a switch game when it won’t even run my ds games. Not to mention that you have to pay to have more space and have different settings. All im going to say is that delta did it better as it can use more roms than this app and it has no ad’s, unlimited amount of space for games, can run the ds games, let’s you customize your display, fast forward, use cheats if you have them, and has a much cleaner appearance and the best part it’s all free

This would have been deadly in highschool. I mean I’m chilling on my bed on my phone playing pokemon emerald all for 10 bucks a year?!?! there’s mario, sonic, pokemon, and many other classics all in this easy to understand and play emulator. The icing on the cake is the bonus settings you can put on the games like being able to 2x the speed in pokemon for example. Life is good right now.

Great emulation. This works great; although since the most recent iOS update I have had the emulator crashing randomly and losing progress.. rather aggravating. Maybe there needs to be an update?

Never mind. After playing for a bit it ask me to sub and if your like me I ain’t spending my money it’s cool but I ain’t paying

Great Emulator - Too Many Ads. This is a great option but the only downfall is the consistent pestering ads whenever I tap out of the game. Please make this less abrasive going forward!

Just Awful. Playing on the iPhone 11 this app is just awful. Ridiculous money grab ad bag aside, music is stuttery and graphics just wouldn’t load at all. If you have an older iPhone steer clear of this one.

Game link. Where did the rom download link go ? I can’t seem to find any roms once I click on game install, it use to take me to a website and made it easy to download roms

Hands down worst. This is the worst emulator in history super saturated with ads and features locked behind pay walls use delta or retroarch all around better this this waste of space

App crash. Please fix the issue. After play for 2 days suddenly the app crash. I will give 5 stars if it fix.

False advertising. Only gba games

Avoid. Garbage app waste of $$. Another app that doesnt do what it says, total scam & subscription to make a quick $ from you now emulators are in the app store. Should be removed for false advertising/fraud -100 stars. AVOID

Only gba. As says n64 and others but I only see gba even after paying. Please advise.

Very expensive. You have to pay a huge amount to use it from day 1

Keeps crashing. Tried playing Pokémon Fire Red and it was going good for about 5 minutes until it crashed, tried starting it up again and it crashed only 30 seconds in. Can’t even play a game without a crash happening.

Explicit/inappropriate ads. I was using your app to play a Pokémon game today and encountered explicit/inappropriate ads. This is unacceptable for a family-friendly game. Please review your ad providers and remove this content. What if a child sees this? Unacceptable. I shouldn’t have to pay the full version just so I can’t see those type of inappropriate ads.

Complete scam. Do not buy vip it locks you out of the app and u can’t get back in

Can’t Open app after purchase of subscription. I’d like to get a refund if I can cause the moment I purchased the subscription the app crashed and it does so every time I open it, the money came out of my account so I’ve just essentially burned my money…

Not too bad, good app. This game's pretty good for a free app. Theres tons of games like pokemon, mario, kirby, and lots of other gameboy games to play. However, some things i didn't like would be that my save file wasn't showing where i was at the game from when i saved it yesterday to play today, and instead took me to the start of the game and i lost all my progress. Another thing i didn't like was that there was so many ads in the game, usually i'd get that. Everyone needs money to live, But the way you guys went about the ads just make it really annoying to play with. The ads just feel long and annoying, and overall are a bit of a turn off from anyone wanting to play this game. Some stuff you could do instead could be something like putting the ads places where you can see them without making the gameplay annoying, Or perhaps spacing the ads out so they wouldn't be on top of eachother. You could also just moderate the ads for shorter ones instead of long ones, so if you keep the stacked ads you wouldn't mind the ads. Anyway, pretty good minus all of that. Have a good day!

Damn. Can finally play Pokémon on my phone the future is arrive

Dislike. Why is there a time limit why not a maximum of three games or something like that I dislike the time limit

Scam. Nothing works, complete scam. Can’t access anything.

Scam. Paid 15$ on something easily overshadowed by Delta (which is FREE) I’ve never been so disappointed in an emulator. This just shows that app store lets any app exist even if they are just utter scams. The ads for this app PROMISED that this can run GB, GB, GBA and DS games, but they can only run GBA so far. I hate the fact I can’t even ask for a refund because of the apple stupid no refund policy.

Scam. After I paid for premium it won’t open even if I delete it and re-install. Pure scam

Yan. Yan aime love

Scam. Content isn’t bad, but the app said that the „premium“ or whatever was $11.99 per year but charged me $15 a month

Won’t open. The app worked fine when I first downloaded it then I signed for the subscription, after that now it won’t open on my iPhone “SCAM?”

Savefile. What happened, all my quick saves except one were deleted?

Can't open app after buying yearly pass+. Worked great before buying but after can't even re download to work or cancel the subscription

No sound. Yesterday I had no problem but now every time I try and close the add the sound just goes away

This is great. This emulator is great it also works with controllers and has a straightforward download process

Good game. First eulator that actually works

It actually works - no catch. I’m always skeptical of stuff like this, and usually don’t believe those seemingly fake reviews, only focusing on the bad ones, but this actually works AND it’s easy to download and get the games working instantly. I’ve tested a handful of games other than Pokémon such as Harry Potter, Lego Star Wars, and super Mario world 2 and I’ve yet to see any issues. You may not see the exact version of Pokémon you want and besides Pokémon there isn’t a ton of games but so far this has been 10/10 with the very occasional ad.

Works but WAY TOO MANY ADS!. Working GBA Emulator, but way too many ads, and the fast forward button and the Cheats button are locked behind a paywall. Overall unhappy with how they intended this app to just be a money grab. Greedy company that doesn’t care about their users!

Ne vous abonnez pas. L’application fonctionne si on ne paie pas! J’ai payé pour l’abonnement pour ne plus voirs les pubs et pouvoir avancer le jeu plus rapidement mais après l’application n’a plus jamais ouvert!

POKÉMON. There is fire red in there, that alone is 5 stars

The concept rocks. I went out on a limb and subscribed for a year, but once I did that the app just closed on me! Useless if you can’t even play any games on it if the app just keeps closing on you!! So I deleted it then restarted it and even rebooted my cell but it only keeps logging out of the app ! So for that reason one star

????. Won’t let me download more than one game? I even redownloaded and upgraded to a paid version to make sure nothing was limiting me. Very dissatisfied.

Free and actually works!!. I’m so happy to find an emulator that works and doesn’t cost anything!

Works great for me. If you follow the directions correctly you can play GBA Games

good times. its actually really good so far

Ads. Too many of them.. This emulator has you either buy the premium or feed you ads every few seconds.

Nostalgic Satisfaction. Been playing Legend of Zelda: The Minnish Cap, and I’m almost finished it. I make sure to save as sometimes the app just quits, but the downloads work, just make sure you follow instructions in video, so you can see where the Downloads go. I randomly try out each one to see if I like it, and so far I’m having fun!

Don’t buy yearly sub. The second I purchased the yearly subscription it stopped working Won’t open Can’t contact anyone Terrible

You need to add a RTC option. Ive been playing pokemon unbound and the RTC (real time clock) isn’t functioning and theres nothing i can do if you were to add an option to change the time or “fake” a running in game clock that would be awesome

Bruh. Worked amazing u til I got the basic version, now every time I click the app it immediately closes

Loving it. So far, so good and I’m loving it!

Predatory app try to sell you stuff non stop. Predatory app try to sell you stuff non stop

Its not fake. This app actually lets you play the games which is amazing

Works but…. Worked until you bought full version (no ads) can’t get refund. App crashes when you try to open it, very dissatisfied

Paid for Subscription and App Won’t Open. I emailed the company but no response yet, I paid for the yearly subscription and the app crashes every time I open it. Horrible app and no customer service when things go wrong, DO NOT DOWNLOAD

Doesn’t work without service. Need wifi or service to use or it says you need a subscription even tho I paid

Once 5 star, dropped down to 3 star. Ok, the concept of this app to download nintendo’s old games from their consoles as a free mobile game that is obtainable from this app’s website. It’s fun to say the least, but on how much restrictions they add on this is kind of disappointing. You can only play for 30min until you’re forced to either buy premium or watch an add for another 30min gameplay.

Scam!. After annual payment, the app does not open and crashes..

It’s dope. Couldn’t ask for more very simple to set up and start playing

Use delta. This app needs payment options to even mimic deltas power

Too many ads. This app has thousands of ads to the point that even if they have some unique hacks on their platform, it's not worth using for a moment. I would rather play metroid fusion on my 3DS using the ambassador program I got for buying the 3DS early, rather than chop at wolves and die and whatnot every time I want to save, every 30 minutes, and anywhere else they can shove an ad. Additionally, it's a cost per month and not just a one time fee to remove ads. This company is greedy over content that isn't even their own. The only reason I rate it two stars is because I saw hacks of roms that looked interesting. However, the ads lied (wow, really? First time?) there is nothing but gameboy games, there are no N64 games at all or roms for other platforms, despite what the ad said. Not worth the effort, literally just go use a PC, these guys are gonna nickel and dime you till the end of time whether you pay or not. Either through ads or subscriptions. If things change I would improve my rating substantially.

Décourager. J’ai payer l’abonnement, es après Ocun moyen le jeux n’est se réouvre plus

10 adds in 2 mins. Got 10 ads in the time I downloaded a game and opened it (I didn’t even get to the start of the game before uninstalling)

Scam. Jai jouer 2 jours non stop aucun problème je decide de payer l’abonnement tout setinnet le jeux ne démarre pu!

App doesn’t work, devs don’t respond or try to help troubleshoot. The moment I made the purchase of the subscription the app now immediately closes itself every time I try to open it. Went to apple and for some reason it’s not even applicable for refunds either. Be cautious, I wouldn’t buy nothing.

I spent for a year. It’s a two star because I payed for a year and only got a month

Great game. Great game the games fell like the did on the real system. Please add more games👍

Fix it please. I don’t know what all u 5 star reviews are looking at but when u open the app it just closes

Saying i didn’t subscribe. i doubt i will get a non automated response but i like everyone else. my game isn’t closing or having any problems with sound the issue is that i PAID for a year subscription, and sometimes it works sometimes it says i have to upgrade and that my free time is up. it’s funny because the money is still missing from my account. i’m not making threats but this is a big liability for you guys if you’re charging people and they aren’t getting what they paid for. maybe it’s in the fine print, i WILL be looking into it

Disappointed. After buying the subscription, it won’t let me on the app anymore. Nothing but a scam really disappointed I was enjoying it so much too

Variety of Pkm games. I’ve had this emulator on my old device and when I got a new one I realized the “page” feature was gone so I wasn’t able to play rom hacks such as pokemon unbound or fakemon fire red and now I’m wondering is it for certain devices?

Won’t let me watch ads?. I absolutely love it but it for some reason it’s not letting me watch any ads to get the free 30 mins even though I have Wi-Fi

Easy to Use. Spent many hours, days, weeks, months, and even a few years on this Emulator.

App doesn’t work but the adds do. Downloaded a game but want open just shuts me out then constantly spamming me with adds false advertising and a waste of time

DOESN’T SAVE (5 stars so people see this). The game says you save but never actually lets you open the new save file or even lets you see the new file for that matter 1/5 ⭐️

I love this. This gives me the ability to play games that I could not play because I don’t have these games but now it lets me play them. That’s why I like it.

Disappointed. I was happy with this emulator at first but then last night I downloaded a Pokemon rom to play. Spent 6 hours even got a few shinies. I go to continue my adventure and guess what it didn’t save a single second of my 6 hour grind last night and I lost all of that. And you fools want me to pay?

So close to perfect. Wanna be clear I’m only giving this one star so the developers actually read this. This is a 4.9 star app easily. PLEASE make it so that it doesn’t pause our music from other apps and it’ll be probably the best app on the App Store. Otherwise, great job and thanks for putting this out there and indulging me in my childhood memories. The very reasonably priced $10 for a year of premium was the easiest call I’ve made on an in-app purchase.

Paid and making me pay again.. Paid for it to be able to play whenever and save whenever. Bought the yearly subscription for 8.99 and after 2 weeks it started promting me to pay for again. Unless I do so all I have access to is 30 minutes free play daily. If yearly means monthly then it should abvertise that. If it means yearly then I’d like money’s worth and for the problem to be fixed.

App Crashes - Won’t Open. Purchased the $10 subscription, played for a few days. Once the update happened, my app will not open anymore. Click to open it, starts to try to load up, then crashes. I have been trying for 3 days. Attempted to reach out to the app via email but have yet to get a response. I very much enjoyed playing but now it no longer works.

Can’t play. I click on the game I want to play but it keeps kicking me out of the simulation taking me back to the Home Screen it won’t let me play please fix Found another app to play not only game boy games but other systems as well and it works perfectly and don’t have to pay yearly delete this app doesn’t work anyways

Hi. Just wish i could pay for it but i cant so this will be my only review so yah goodbye lucky emulator if you made a free subscription i would come back but that will never happen so bye.

Never though I could find a game to bring me to a state of joy. I was stuck doing homework then found this game on my phone so I was like why not? And it was so fun Mario is a must try also Pokémon is a great game

Mario Kart: Super Circuit. The Controls are a bit clunky but people tend to say that it’s worse than MK64 but I strongly disagree because I just love the unique track selection of this game such as Cheese Land, Sky Garden, Sunset Wilds, Ribbon Road, and My Personal Favorite Rainbow Road in the Entire Mario Kart Series, IMO.

Peak.. Great, amazing way to experience the game boy advance games. I truly think this is one of the best ways to to experience these games without having the jump through hoops and dodged the Nintendo ninjas if you get where I’m coming from.

i cant even open the app now after paying for the plus subscription. the app was working fine until i purchased the yearly Plus subscription, now the app wont open and i cant even choose the option to write a review when bringing up the delete menu on the Iphone 8

Wonderful app, but…. I’ve been having a blast replaying Pokemon Emerald on this emulator, but I decided today I wanted to play something new. The plus button on the upper right corner is gone now, with no way to access the catalog of GBA games. I will be continuing to play Emerald, but I am upset I can’t access anything new :(

Great emulation. This works great; although since the most recent iOS update I have had the emulator crashing randomly and losing progress.. rather aggravating. Maybe there needs to be an update?

DO NOT GET. There are so many better options if you want an emulator. This one has ads on everything unless you want to pay for the mediocre service, and has issues saving. Some MUCH better options are “Delta” if you just want a simple and easy to use emulator or “RetroArch” if you want something that can handle any ROM. Both are free and have no ads

Keeps asking me to buy. I purchased the yearly plan, i downloaded a few roms, they work great some lag such as max pain, but them after a few days of use it kept asking me to sign up, & it no longer gave me access to the download website, i tried contacting support it goes straight to a pdf file online stating their terms and conditions, some of my save files have disappeared and i cant access my saved games

GET DELTA EMULATOR NOT THIS. They try to charge you for something that’s inferior, what you all are looking for is the delta emulator, that one allows u to play games from a bunch of systems not just gameboy and its way smoother and way better features not to mention these guys steal your data and it even tells you, while for Delta it says “Data not collected” do not download this app, download DELTA EMULATOR

Audio issues and ads. Day 3 now and i’ve had to restart the emulator on my iphone 13 to get the audio to work properly. It just mytes randomly sometimes, and the background music loop tends to scratch occasionally. Otherwise has been free, so no further complaints.

Good. Everything was fine it’s a good emulator, but whenever I open a game now the entire app crashes every time and I can’t play a single thing, so please fix this.

It actually works!. I didn’t believe it but the ads were 100% accurate and now I’m playing my entire childhood on my phone. Amazing.

Old school Pokémon player. I’ve been searching for something like this for a long time. And it really don’t get on my nerves and I can play Pokémon all day. I’m starting to play the ones that I didn’t get to play as an adolescent bravo

APP IS FINE. Just in pokemon team rocket got stuck on mission in pokemon tower where maroghost destroys all my pokemon… i wonder can i buy the premium yearly and get cheats to get rare candy to get around that one battle?

It’s good but. So I got the app cause I have no money and I like playing Pokemon games and every time I click on a game and out of it I get 2 ads just to play Pokemon pinball so developers if you see this can you fix it please

Is great. It’s really good emulator, I have a Game boy advanced and the comparison is very good. Like any emulator you can play the game normally and also speed the game up or use cheats(with a subscription) I didn’t use the subscription and minus an ad every time you load a game it’s exactly like the real thing

THANKS. thanks for the website now i could download games and go to delta to play because your app has adds

Stuck on flip screen. For some reason when I open the app and press the game to play. the screen that says you get a better experience if you flip the phone pops up, but it won’t let me clear the screeen to play the game. So I’m stuck in this screen that won’t move. I even turned the Lock Screen off like it says hoping to get Rid of the screen but it just sits there

Amazing. This is just awesome I just got Spiderman 1 and 2 and it just feels so clean to use, it’s free and the only downside is that you have to pay to get the premium version and I’m broke

Really good!. This emulator is very good! You can play GBA games and it’s not like 6 games and that’s it, no you get around 70-90 games! I link you have to pay to remove ads, but they almost never pop up (: . Overall a very good emulator 🤩

Lied about not giving ads. I went into the menu and came out and was gone an ad even though where you can upgrade it says that no ads is for basic level but I was basic level and I have gotten multiple ads good game otherwise though

Lot of nostalgic fun. I’ve been really enjoying playing games in this emulator. My only real complaint is the L and R buttons don’t work with a PS4 controller. Could you fix that, please? (For reference, I’m playing on an iPhone 13 Pro Max.)

Great app, but one issue. I really like the idea of playing classic video games on the phone, because I myself am a gamer and I do enjoy a couple of classic video games, but I don’t like the idea that you’ve gotta pay for it though, that’s what I don’t like about this app. 4/5

Thank you.. I’ve been trying to play these retired games for years. I’ve finally found one that’s simple to use, and actually works. Hopefully the Nintendo ninjas let this stay up!

Don’t believe the over 4 star rating this has. This emulator is trash it says you can play games on your phone with it. I looked up how to on google and Reddit got zero results and what one post on google said that to do you can not do in the emulator it’s self. This was a waste of $30 I might as well just buy one off online for more than $30.

Worth a try!. Got it on a whim. Not disappointed at all. I’d make a way to be able to have a profile of some sort so your progress can be continued on a separate device.

Not too shabby. I liked the variety and accuracy of all the old games definitely worth the subscription if you don’t want to buy one of those retro gameboys

Can we get a Cheat system?. Runs smooth and has an easy to use layout, would like to see a cheat engine built in!

Frank-ly I love this emulator. Regrets, I’ve had a few, but then again too few to mention. I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption I planned each chartered course

Crashing. I love it so far with the Pokémon games and other classics but I’ve had it just close on me randomly a few times and one of those times didn’t keep my last save. Overall love it but please fix the crashing.

Tomodachi life. I’m absolutely loving this app I think it would be great if I could play a game I’ve always wanted to play but never got the chance to, Tomodachi life if it’s ever added I fear this app would become a addiction

Amazing But…... I have been loving the app (playing Pokemon of course) but it would be amazing if we could play DS Games as well. So please consider adding DS Game Support for the app. (Also thx for giving me my childhood in app form) I grew up with these games & the ps2 back in 2005

Options for cheats. Great app! Use it to play old Pokemon games but can’t complete the Pokédex unless I trade (which is impossible) or have cheats. Wondering if there will ever be an option to add cheats or if it’s even possible.

Great emulator, but I have a problem. This app is great! I use it a lot to replay games like Pokémon Emerald and New Super Mario Bros. However, there is a problem, specifically with DS games. When saving the game, The game doesn’t actually save. So you have to make a save state every time you need to save.

Amazing but…. This game is amazing it’s just the ads but if makes sicne so they can get money if you guys allow a option to spend money for no ads without doing a supscription I would love this game way more

Wowzers. I downloaded this full on expecting it to be a whole lot of ads and little games but woah was I wrong this is amazing I just wish you could ad sm64 but this earned my trust 5 stars

Fun!. i really like this app. i support the ads too as a person not buying premium because the ads give money, and the creators need money to continue :D

Unbelievable. This is phenomenal. All the games I’ve been wanting to play ones I’ve never got to play, all on my phone. I don’t do reviews but this is well deserved. W to the creator.
