Comments on My Boy! Lite for Android

★★★★★ Tyler McGrew · Feb 22, 2026
I love using this app and the My Boy Color app to replay all the old Pokémon game ranging from Blue, Red, and Yellow to Gold, Silver, and Crystal Versions and for the My Boy Advanced Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald to Leaf Green & Fire Red Versions. I highly recommend use the 2 I've named if you're looking to play a free emulator and play any of the old school Pokémon games. 🎮
★★★★★ Shadow Fan · Jun 16, 2025
It didn't save my data, and it erased my Pokémon fire red and emerald I work super hard I was almost to the end, and it deleted my legendary Pokémon and everything I'm so depressed about this now I have to do it all over again 0 out of 5...😢
★★★★☆ Matt Schwartz · Jul 28, 2025
Had this on my old phones and loved it, not set up for my new phone, please add newer phones to the list, so I can play my Game Boy again 🙏
★☆☆☆☆ Angel Darin · Aug 4, 2026
Used to love this app until you have to watch and ad to load your saves or buy the full version, I don't have problem with watching add but the problem is ADs don't load like? How many I have times I have tried to load an ad to get back to my progress, but it's always "there's a problem with loading ads, please buy the full version" (m a broke student you all 😭) I lose all my progress because of this, had enough and deleted the emulator I have been using for some years
★☆☆☆☆ Maria Gkolemi · Aug 5, 2025
Loading a save requires watching an ad (I'm fine with that), but the ad never loads. So my save is effectively unloadable until I buy the full version.
