The graphics of the emulator receive mixed reviews, with some users praising the overall quality and smooth performance for less demanding games, while others report significant graphical errors, lag, and glitches, particularly with more complex titles like those on the N64 and DS. Many users express a desire for more customization options, such as resolution and graphic filters, to enhance their experience. Overall, while the potential for high-quality graphics exists, performance issues and inconsistencies hinder the experience for some players.
- “Those of you who are familiar with RetroArch will find a similar experience here, though minus all the setup and a much more aesthetically pleasing UI in my opinion.”
- “It runs smoothly too, even when playing more graphically intensive DS and PSP games.”
- “The controls are awesome, graphics are the best you can get, game experience was amazing, very simple and easy.”
- “There is almost no point in having artwork if the image is literally smaller than any app icon.”
- “The lack of virtual pad customization is made even worse with the strange layouts for systems with a lot of buttons such as the Genesis and N64, and don't even bother with N64; there are so many graphical errors that it's not even worth playing.”
- “DS emulation is pretty annoying; you play for 5 minutes and then it starts to lag, with audio distortion and delay, graphical glitches and unresponsiveness, all quite annoying. It doesn't matter what your emulator cores are; both Melonds and DeSmuME cores result in the same problem.”

Overall, the app is well-optimized for most devices, particularly Pixel models, providing smooth performance and user-friendly controls. However, some users report performance issues with specific consoles, like the PSX, and suggest additional optimization settings for heavier platforms. While it generally runs well, there are minor issues on certain devices, such as Samsung, where additional adjustments are needed for optimal touchscreen input.
- “Cloud saves are awesome to have -- and the app is very well optimized for pixel devices -- I use a Pixel 7 and tablet and love this app.”
- “Optimized on-screen controls by default, good size/spacing and doesn't cover gameplay.”
- “Best UI I've used in Android emulation and incredibly easy to set up and get optimized.”
- “I think my only wish would be a bit more optimization settings for heavier platforms and maybe framerate unlocking for some platforms.”
- “I enjoyed using it but for some consoles the performance is quite poor, so you're better off getting a singular emulator (keep in mind it's just the PSX that didn't work properly for me because it would delete my progress) while the rest work fine.”
- “The app does have a small issue on Samsung phones - you need to download Game Booster Plus from the Samsung store and change this app to the performance profile; otherwise, it doesn't detect touchscreen inputs correctly.”

The gameplay experience is generally user-friendly with well-optimized on-screen controls that do not obstruct the action, making it accessible for those seeking simplicity. However, players have reported issues such as lag during gameplay, unreliable save functionality, and a desire for more customization options like resolution and graphics settings. While the gameplay is enjoyable, it is hindered by technical shortcomings that detract from the overall experience.
- “Optimized on-screen controls by default, good size/spacing and doesn't cover gameplay.”
- “If you are intimidated by something like RetroArch or Dig that gives tons of options, and just want something simple that takes you straight to the gameplay, with basic filters and options, this is the best thing around.”
- “Works like a charm the green button flashing is a bit jarring for when I record gameplay.”
- “It's not bad, but it's also not top-notch when it comes to gameplay.”
- “But here's the problem, it's laggy as hell (only in gameplay). It would be nice if you had more customization options in the app like resolution, graphics, controls, and it would be kind of nice if there was an FPS counter on the top.”
- “Lost several hours of gameplay because the save doesn't register correctly if you don't quit with the in-app exit (which you'll probably do on a phone!), and that even if you save multiple times!”
