Review summary

John GBC Lite is praised for smooth gameplay, good stability, support for both GB and GBC games, multiple save states, and an easy-to-use interface with efficient game detection. However, users commonly report intrusive and frequent ads disrupting gameplay, issues with save data loss, audio latency problems, inflexible button layouts causing gameplay difficulties, and compatibility problems with certain newer games. Despite these drawbacks, the emulator remains highly recommended as the best free Game Boy Color emulator available.

2025-01-24	Ni*****	I used to have no problems with this emulator. I didn't mind the banner ads at all bc it was so good at keeping my place in game even when closed, and the ads stayed unintrusive. However, suddenly, I get full video ads almost every time I tab out of the app. While they are often quick skips, previously unintrusive ads are now totally intrusive and ruin the experience. Completely scummy way to try and force me to buy the full version.
2024-11-26	Jo*****	For some reason it can't run some GB games past the year 2000 (I tried with FIFA 2000 and DBZ: Legendary Super Warriors but they both just gave me a white screen) but other than that it runs completely fine
2024-09-08	Br*****	Very good emulator, it runs smoothly, the speed changers are good and don't break, you can add games in under a minute and overall, it's the best free Game Boy Color emulator!
2024-05-13	R *****	Fantastic emulator for being free. Fully stable, fast, multiple save states, directory can be chosen by user, and 2x speed are all free. You can not ask for more in an emulator, especially a free one! John GBA Lite is just as good if you need a GBA emulator. The ads are few, short, and usually just after opening the app menus, which isn't bad, and not disruptive like some emulators.
2024-01-04	To*****	One of the very best emulators for GameBoy Color, you can have tons of games , hook up controller and play. Easy to use and find your ROMs, some apps make it so difficult. There should be a one press button that finds them. I might spend the $3 to get it permanent, it takes up very little data or space on phone. Great app, I'm going to get Paid version, this app takes up very little space and all the games too, I have around 60 games and it doesn't drain MB of data, it plays regular GB games to
2022-10-09	Ja*****	The emulator is the best gameboy emulator I seen, it fully Colors each object and character, it's easy to use, you can put the speed by 4x or higher making it faster to play it, it also saves data. The main reason I put at 4 stars is because the save data don't work, it either its dosent work or if you dont play it for a day or just skip it, you'll lose all your data. Can you please fox it, I dont want to restart the game over 6 times. It's getting stupid.
2021-07-05	Sh*****	This is emulator is the best, literally the best. Gonna recommend it to everyone. It has all the features the paid version does except for the ads which aren't so annoying, but since I am a child I couldn't support you guys but gonna support by rating 5 stars. And all their emulators are like this
2021-04-27	1L*****	It's literally like a real gameboy, especially the part where it could remember the real time for games like Pokemon crystal, and on top of that it doesn't take up much battery and there are multiple save slots(even when exiting a rom they will ask to save). Gonna buy the full version because the devs more than deserve to get paid for this, even though i have everything i need from the free version
2021-01-14	Au*****	Overall pretty good, but I recently noticed how much audio latency there is, and now that I hear it, I can't unhear it, and so everything feels unplayable now. If there was improved audio latency / more options for it, this would be a nearly perfect phone emulator
2020-08-24	Ma*****	This is the only emulator I recommend. I've been using this and the GBA emulator for quite some time now and I've never run into any issues. The ads are easily avoided and NEVER interrupt gameplay. Truly fantastic. It reminds me of holding the actual Gameboy in my hands.
