Works great, have almost a full day played time and haven't encountered any issues. Ads are very minimal, I've never had my game interrupted, only when you suspend the application and come back to it will it show you a short ad. Best free mobile emulator I've tried. To the devs; Thank you for making a free emulator that respects the user.

All Gameboy Games are playable and all action replay codes are available for every game. The button scheme is perfect. Ads are minimal and there aren't many saving and loading glitches. There isn't any need to pay money to play and everything about the apo is editable! Lags and crashes are minimal and stays open in the background without crashing better then most games do. Doesn't require wifi to load or play games, but for certain things and removes the need for ads. This is literally the best
