The best free SNES Emulator. No ads popping up constantly, it has never crashed on me, it has a crazy amount of downloadable games from Google. I give the SNES EX+ a 5-star review and would recommend it to anyone who likes these retro games. I grew up playing these games and this emulator brings back sooo many childhood memories of me and my 5 older sisters playing and fighting over whose turn it is to play!

The best emulator for Rom hacks for Super Mario world and kaizo's this is great

What about shaders like ScaleFx or Xbr, BRZ? Nowadays, cellphones are powerful enough. With last version, it doesn't allow saving SRAM, not even if you gave permissions, chose folder. I went back to the previous version, and it's ok now (1.5.84)

NOT GREAT, don't get me wrong the emulator is amazing but I give 1 star because the in game full screen or fill screen is not working at all. I love playing with the whole in game screen stretched because I hate black bars at sides

The touchscreen controls suck so much, no way to customize, in between press is super bad, hate the genesis button look, you can't change that??? It's so bad and makes playing on your emulator so annoying, especially platformers. Would rate zero if I could. Don't know how anyone could comfortably play on this garbage without a Bluetooth controller.

Can't open any files. The app defaults to the apps' data folder which Android doesn't allow users access to. The app also won't allow you to change the directory either. The app is essentially useless if you can't load games.

I feel like the touch controls is very boring that I hate color black buttons. Some of the emulators made by this same devs is reusing a same control design. Geez at least try to make a controls muck colorful I remember that 1.5.55 had mod touch controls color.
