★★★★Ahhh yeasss8/19/2026
Good, but the watch syncing needs work.

It’s a really good emulator but it lacks one thing, being able to play locally on the watch, whenever the phone is disconnected from the watch, you can’t access your games from the watch, so at that point it’s better to use your phone than the watch rendering the watch gameplay pointless. Oh yeah extra thing, you should add crown inputs for like a b buttons also for some reason the games disappear when disconnected to the phone

Stolen and ad-ridden

It is a fairly good GBA emulator, well-made and works with just about every popular game. However, the uploader just took GBA4iOS (an old but relatively popular iOS emulator), slapped their name and a bunch of ads/trackers on it, and uploaded it to the App Store. They could've at LEAST credited the original developer, Riley Testut, but instead they've removed ALMOST all mention of him and GBA4iOS from the app (there are still some mentions of it in the file system). Anyway, I wouldn't recommend using the app, at least not while connected to the Internet, because it just gives money to whoever uploaded this for doing nothing. Can't wait for actual developers to put their own emulators on here though. I'll make sure to rate those 5 stars :)

Impressive

It’s about time we finally have a legit emulator on the AppStore. I have been playing with this for a few hours and I’m blown away by how easy it is to set up. I understand this app is still relatively new so I won’t be too critical. My only suggestion would be to allow for controller mapping and perhaps color adjustments. The GBA has high contrast compared to the SNES, so providing the option to fine tune these settings would be great. Despite this I truly believe this app is a 5 out of 5. I really hope the Dev will at some point add the N64 and PS1 to the lineup of Emulators on the AppStore. Thank you so much for FINALLY doing what should have been done decades ago lol.
