Comments on NostalgiaNes Pro for Android

★★★★★ Atlas · May 5, 2025

I paid for the pro because I've been using the free version for years. Back in the day I could scan my rom folder, and it would add all of my games. Can we get that back?

★★★★★ soni jigs · Oct 23, 2023

Please bring back auto searching for roms, selecting folder doesn't work sometimes

★★★★★ Артур Шмыров · Sep 13, 2024

Really the best NES emulator I ever used! With 8bitdo nes30 controller - it's like back in childhood! For a few years I can't update this app gives an error

★★☆☆☆ matt johnson · Mar 10, 2024

I totally can't stand how the controller setup is now. I could change the button layout so the control and buttons were bigger playing landscape, now control and buttons are small. I can change the control layout, but it always goes back to original settings and buttons are stacked; vertically, I can change the configuration and go back to the game and everything is fine. I don't like playing on portrait mode, I love playing landscape, it's more comfortable for me and easier to use, please fix!

★☆☆☆☆ John Paul Landry · Jan 21, 2024

Was a great emulator, but has become almost unplayable. I can no longer change the layout of the controller and if it was so counterintuitive, I wouldn't mind. With the A and B buttons stacked the way they are it makes platformers almost unplayable and definitely not fun. Would be great if a patch or an update would fix it, or if a reversion to an older version were possible

★★☆☆☆ Sandeep · May 9, 2025

Fix the directory issue on samsung devices please

★☆☆☆☆ Tyler Stanley · Aug 1, 2023

What happened?! It lost all my progress data and changed the way the ROMs are loaded so all the names are wrong, and you can't save changes to the controller layout anymore. This used to be fantastic.
