Works out of the box with no lag when playing roms. No pop up ads or banners during gameplay itself, in fact the only ads you'll see are during the rom selection menu and that's on the absolute bottom of the screen in a very small banner. I normally don't do reviews but the developer deserves to be praised for their app and their ethical advertising practices.

Great app, honestly the main reason why I use my phone, I love it. But something weird happened, I opened the app and all my roms were gone, I've never experienced something like that but the app updated two days ago maybe something changed. I had to search for all the roms again which was slightly annoying. And I've always had trouble with controllers, maybe it's just my low powered phone I use a Xbox one controller and sometimes it just blinks and doesn't register for a few seconds.

Note: I was using a gamepad, so my opinion may be a little diffeent than yours. This is a really good emulator for being free. It does the job, and does it well. My only issues were that the L and R buttons weren't automatically bound, and when you enter a game, you can't switch when your done with the game, you have to restart the app.
