Comments on Daijishō for Android

★★★★☆ Retro Boy · Oct 2, 2026

No more updates. Also scraping is very bad now. Been using it for more than 3 years.

★★★★★ Robert Marcelo (Pornraider) · Aug 31, 2026

A great front end for retro emulation on android. There's a need for a little setup but once everything is configured, it works really well. The scraper is not perfect but mostly finds your game info. You can also manually configure the Bogart, screenshot and titles.

★★★★★ Liam Isaacs · Oct 11, 2026

Best frontend for android. I've tried a few paid for frontends but still keep coming back to Danish. I just wish you could export your database with all metadata included to import onto other devices.

★★★★★ Deryl Brent · Jun 30, 2026

Great front end for Android emulation. Very simple and looks great

★☆☆☆☆ Coty Whitsell · Apr 9, 2026

Does not support SMB shares which is a basic feature of any front-end.

★☆☆☆☆ Demi Havok · Apr 14, 2026

Was way too much work to get running, with the only benefit being my games all in one spot. The UI is ugly though, and trying to figure out how to get every emulator to work was a mess of a process. Not to mention it couldn't even pull artwork for all the games, and it was too dumb to separate gb, gbc, or gba games if they are all stored in one folder. Even anbernic stock can do that. Total waist of time, and doesn't even look good. For example the apps' menu at the top. Too much going on.
