Comments on NostalgiaNes - NES Emulator for Android

★★★★★ Additya Xarma · Oct 20, 2025
I can play all the childhood memories in this console, & this is the better than all handheld consoles I ever played. Yes, you just need a game pad.
★★★★★ ゲイリーダメラム · Mar 7, 2026
Great little emulator for playing nes classic games on the go try it out you won't be sorry.
★★★★☆ Kermit Santos · Jul 21, 2026
The app works as intended. The layout editor is good, but some keys do not want to move in portrait mode. The app lost the ability to search for ROMs by directory, and you have to add them to the list individually. This is an annoyance every time the app gets updated. 4/5.
★☆☆☆☆ Bistu Sanyal · Jan 31, 2026
first of all you need to subscribe to change your game settings. And second game buttons didn't work properly if you press sometimes it will sometimes work it won't, so it is very irritating to play a game in this emulator
★☆☆☆☆ Infinity · May 29, 2026
Doesn't work on Android 13 OS. Even after setting up a Nostalgia game folder and installing rom files to play. The app will recognize the files (title of game), but once selected it trys to run with an error message stating the file doesn't exist!? Waste of time and effort!!!
★★☆☆☆ R e w i n d i n g · Oct 22, 2025
When I play Super Mario so I have to press both B button and left button to run faster, but sometimes it doesn't jump and sometimes the B button stops working which makes me fail too many times and rage a lot
★★☆☆☆ SM Khan · Sep 28, 2026
It plays games well, but doesn't allow me to choose a folder for ROMs. It gives error: Unfortunately, you do not have the software installed on your phone.
