Comments on John GBC for Android

★★★★☆ Jesse Sanford · Oct 3, 2024

Great emulator with only one minor inconvenience. Would recommend 100% of the time. I just wish that I could make it so that the time wouldn't automatically advance between save stats and loading save states. The system time tracking is a cool idea, but it doesn't work well enough, or at all when you choose to use fast-forward, to have it always on. If I could disable that feature I would give these 5 stars. I just want to play Pokémon without the clock changing between save states. Plz hlp

★★★★★ Eric Burcham · Dec 4, 2025

Have been using the lite version and recently upgraded. This has been working well for me on GBC games and roms.

★★★★★ Trevor Woods · Dec 17, 2024

Recently purchased have used John GBA for some time and just had to get the GBC, so I can play the old Zelda Oracle series, works just as well as the GBA variant. Absolutely wonderful.

★★★★★ แอนดรูว์ เทย์เลอร์ · Sep 12, 2022

Best gbc emulator in android! Been using this app for a couple of years and never gave me a problem. Smooth usage and gameplay as always. Definitely deserves 5+ stars rating!

★☆☆☆☆ DecadentCat Animation · Dec 11, 2025

It has VISUAL BUGS (related to the VRAM of the gbc and the way it loads) creating visual aberrations on game... and the colors are over saturated (I am 100% sure it is an issue of this emulator in specific because I tried another one here in my phone, and it ran perfectly). Not worth paying for the app on this state of development. I hope it gets better one day. Also... it asks for you to be ONLINE sometimes in order to confirm that you paid for the APP (extremely annoying)

★☆☆☆☆ Matthew Gavin (Anzac-A1) · Mar 10, 2024

Useless. Doesn't recognize ANY ROMs. They show as BIN files, despite being GB/GBC.

★☆☆☆☆ Sphiinxxii X · Feb 16, 2024

It won't load any games. None of them will but this app was my favorite.

★☆☆☆☆ William Ford · Nov 5, 2024

Loved this app, but now it doesn't even read any games I tried everything but doesn't read GBC files at all. Needs to be looked at

★☆☆☆☆ Edward Blackwood · Apr 18, 2024

Purchased today to play a game that wouldn't be found on the previously owned gba version and both cannot find any games I the emulator folder

★☆☆☆☆ Jane daly · Nov 24, 2024

Don't buy. Everytime I download a rom it says the file does not exist. Used different rom sites. Now I have a bunch of unplayable nonsense
