Not much to go off of, but here we go. For a mobile app, the controls are fantastic. The customisation is, while small, a nice touch. My only possible complaint is that you have to download the games externally, but it's to be expected. Wonderful emulator overall. In addition, the savestates you create seem to be stored in the ROM files instead of in the app, so even if you uninstall it, you'll have your Pokemon save file ready.

Superb app, I have near 21 games on this emulator. And still it does not crashes.No, you don't need to spend money on this emulator, it is completely free. There are ads, but it is okay. Because you need to wait for 1-10 minutes only. Not like other emulators that you need to wait for 15-30 minutes to skip the ads.It also searches games super fast, and still it does not crashes. Superb emulator

I have used this emulator ALOT, and for a free emulator, it is FABULOUS! Firstly, the ads are not so intrusive and annoying! That makes the game actually playable and puts the game in the highest quality possible! Second, the fact that you can speed gameplay is very helpful! When I play Pokèmon, I end up getting in LOTS of battles which is annoying. However thanks to the speed up feature I can play faster! This is just amazing!
