Comments on John NESS for Android

★★★★★ Brandon White · Oct 16, 2024
Just like with John GBA, this is the best android emulator for its systems (NES/SNES). Easy to use, easy to set up, It just works. Like I said with John GBA, I definitely wish there was a feature to add screen filters like CRT TV or scan-lines, and I would honestly pay extra for this as a feature. Much love to the John dev team, thank you for your excellent product.
★★★★★ Ismael Fahad (Abualseba3) · Jun 25, 2025
Hi devs Thanks for this app actually it works fine with its features. But in some certain roms I tried to use cheat codes. Only game genie and PAR codes are worked. I got (STANDARD cheat codes) but the app doesn't support it. Would you please fix it, because I don't want change alternative app which im satisfied with your app? If you couldn't please inform me that I don't want to wait too long. By the way I got the paid version.

I can use a PS4 controller no problem, but I just got a playstation backbone and that however doesn't have support and is not compatible. As much as I'd like to use it this way it's not possible. I've also tried mapping the keys but didn't work. Please fix this.
★☆☆☆☆ Ali Ramirez Ruiz · Jun 10, 2024
Long ago I bought the John SNES emulator and paid for it. Now that I wanted to use it again I realize it no longer exists in the play store, instead we get this emulator that you need to pay for again. Not fair
★☆☆☆☆ Mikio Funamori Jr. · Feb 8, 2025
I am writing to request the return of John NES and John SNES. I paid for both of these, and I believe I should have continued access to them. It would be greatly appreciated if you could restore them.
