Comments on ClassicBoy Pro - Game Emulator for Android

★★★★★ Cameron LaRue · Jun 26, 2026
Awesome app 👍 with all the old school emulators 🕹️ that you can play almost any game ROMs 🎮 on. I was even able to play some of my Switch games as well 🎉 I just converted my paid-for games to a digital copy using an app that's completely free 🤩😊
★★★★★ James · Jan 23, 2026
Developers can you make the app where when you load games that are unzipped not take up space on my phone when you play a game. Other emulators don't do this but this one does. PREMIUM member here. Other than that this is the best emulator hands down. Bought this and the old Gold version. Also, maybe add PS2 to this for it to be the ultimate. Thank you for your hard work !
★★★★★ Amanda Darken (Lucky) · Aug 2, 2026
Hey I love this app, I bought the pro version, I would love a screenshot feature for use with controllers if you could, I would be SOOOO pleased! -Morning Star
★☆☆☆☆ Ben Childress · Jun 5, 2026
You have to pay to save your game, I was at least an hour into a game to didn't have in game saves so when I tried to continue I had to start all over
★☆☆☆☆ Vincent Phelps · Nov 19, 2025
At first, I was going to give this a good review, the setup was perfect, and it was visually appealing compared to some of the other emulator apps until I started playing and after just a few minutes it said I had to pay to play more, so I waited for the next day to play more, and you have to pay to upload your save or continue, this made me incredibly upset and ruined the entire app.
★★☆☆☆ joshua · Mar 15, 2026
Will give a higher rating if alot of games would run smoother, it's jumping from 50 fps to 0 fps then after 5 or so mins it starts to bug out with sound cracking fps then drops to 30 fps to 0 fps. Realizing that you know you have to shut this app off, or it will close and bug out your screen.
★☆☆☆☆ Jesse Wolfe · Jun 3, 2026
Quick Load and a lot of save and load options no longer work as they should even on the paid version....
