Best emulator out there for gbc and gba and I can back up all my save files and games through Dropbox is amazing, and you can use the cheat system the speed-up button and all the accessories for free is amazing the only thing i don't like is the ads when you want to switch games or your putting in your cheats then going back to the game is it a crazy amount no just very inconvenient yes you can buy no ads witch is cool but im broke lol so I just turn off Wi-Fi and play with no ads

I think ill rate you 4 stars because some of the buttons disappeared eve when customized, I tried everything, but it wasn't appearing. The only button has is the arrow keys, A, B, Select and Start. Another thing, there are other games that was malfunction like opening a Game Boy rom but stuck on a loading screen, the others were in different angles and the other is missing some images. But most of the games functions well.

I started using John emulators back when gba and gbc were two separate apps moved to this combination when it was released. I paid to remove ads shortly after and have been using this emulator with vanilla and modded gba and gbc roms for years. John GBAC has been my preferred emulator for years, even now while it's becoming outdated. I never have any issues that arise from the app itself. It is wonderful, I recommend giving it a try.

Good app despite sluggish emulation and ads, so cannot recommend. I like this emulator for its ease of use. Regularly displayed ads are annoying tho and inaccurate emulation result in games detecting that they're being emulated which then refuse to work (Finish Cap for example). Author basically doesn't provide support but instead ignores email. This leaves me with save game files that are no longer of any use. Two-star rating only because competition has free & perfect emulation and no ads!

Pls fix your app, I tried to import games, but it said "can't use this folder, to protect your privacy, please choose a folder" which I did, but the same issue is there, heck I took tried GBA lite, and it's also like that, but NESS works, I'm confused I left for one day and this is what I get, please devs, be active I want it to be fixed I implore you
