★★★★★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 🤩😊
★★☆☆☆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.
★☆☆☆☆Anthony Davis· Oct 26, 2025
You can save your games, but you have to buy premium/pro to load the saves...crazy
★☆☆☆☆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.
★☆☆☆☆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
