Comments on EmuSMS XL for Android

★★★★☆ Erliswita Reza · Aug 8, 2026
Gen tuff ig I like the reverb know, and its practically ad free, and is free.
★★★★★ Brandon Layne · Sep 3, 2023
Perfect sms emulator Only problem is the ads you played crunch a different sonic game And other games
★★★★☆ Debouncer · Sep 1, 2026
Although this is a very nice emulator, it lacks a lot of features, such as moving the buttons to where ever you want, speeding up the game, and so on, but at the end of the day, I can't be bothered anymore, this is a must
★★☆☆☆ Zeb Shrader · May 3, 2026
So, upon installing the app, I was met with an "Agree to Consent to selling of your data" pop up. I clicked "Adjust my Preferences" because I always opt out of these things. The sheer amount of data this app shares is insane. Everything from IP Addresses to phone calls was too much for me to even try it. Going through it all there were over 100 pieces of personal data that each company was paying for. I understand personal data gets sold every day, but this was way too much just to play old games
★☆☆☆☆ ForGames-N-Stuff · Oct 13, 2025
It worked before, now it just says that every rom I have is corrupt even though they're completely fine!
