Works well enough, but don't expect to keep a save on any long playthroughs. At multiple times in the last few months, with no rhyme, reason, or warning, the library just appeared empty and the app wouldn't recognize any GBC or GBA files. I still have my save states, but the app just no longer recognizes the games. Usually a quick re-install "fixes" things, but not this time. I ought to give this app 1 star cuz it just doesn't work, but I'll settle for 2 since it sometimes actually works right

I'm loving this emulator. I use it mainly for pokemon and have had zero issues so far. I only wish I had more inputs on screen. If I could have 2 different speed ups on screen to switch between or more speed options to choose from than I'd give it 5 stars. I also wish I could enable turbo buttons while playing, without having to go to a menu. Other than that, this app is the very best.

Amazing GBC and GBA emulator. A large amount of features are available gor free, including but not limited to: several different game speeds, cheat codes, save slots, and screenshots with no watermark. The UI is just great too, having clear markers for all your games, ability to filter what platform they are on, and a number of different color themes to choose from. Highly recommend, will be purchasing full version to support the upkeep of the app.
