    Users generally praise the app for significantly enhancing the graphics of GBA games, making them smoother, sharper, and more visually appealing with effective shaders like hq2x and hq4x. While some mention occasional lag or increased battery drain at higher settings, the overall sentiment highlights a noticeable and appreciated improvement over original graphics, bringing a fresh, clean, and sometimes 3D-like quality to classic titles. A few users request further enhancements such as HD or 3D graphics and better performance optimization.

    • “I started up a game of Final Fantasy 6, which is my favorite port of it, and the smoothness and detail you get make it feel fresh and new, adding a very clean quality to the graphics.”
    • “These shaders are great and improve the graphics of GBC games. Although HQ4x seems to lag, HQ2x is just as good but faster. Great job.”
    • “Great shader... brings the game graphics to life... excellent work!!!”
    • “Need to improve graphics and button sensitivity.”
    • “Sure hq4x gives a big graphics boost but for that high quality is lag.”
    • “The only thing that it does that I notice is make everything in black & white... would rather it enhance the graphics or textures... seems like it can't.”

    The app delivers smooth performance on lower-end devices and runs without lag using the hq2x filter, earning positive user feedback. However, some users report significant performance issues with the hq4x filter and express a desire for improved shader optimization and additional shader options. Overall, optimization is solid but could benefit from enhancements for higher-quality filters.

    • “It's an awesome app for lower-end devices; it runs smoothly and is easy to use, so 5 stars for that .”
    • “Good performance .”
    • “I've tried different screen sizes on both 1080p and 720p... hq4x has severe performance issues.”
    • “Will stick with hq2x for now, which doesn't have lags, and I am hoping for updates that will improve hq4x filter's performance.”
    • “The shaders are excellent, but I think the shader Super 2xSal should be added as well, and the performance of the shaders improved.”

  • gameplay

    • “Almost like the old game but please optimize this for smoother gameplay.”
    • “Emulator improves... I really enjoy playing a smooth gameplay.”
    • “Graphics, gameplay, and also controls are okay but the battery drains so fast, and when I use HQ4× my game lags a lot and my mobile's battery drains twice as fast.”

    • “I keep my MyBoy frame skip rate at 2 fps and hq4x works perfectly, no lag or sound glitches.”
