Just like with John GBA, this is the best android emulator for it's systems (NES/SNES). Easy to use, easy to set up, It just works. Like I said with John GBA, I definitely wish there was a feature to add screen filters like CRT TV or scan-lines, and I would honestly pay extra for this as a feature. Much love to the John dev team, thank you for your excellent product.

It could use a longer time between adds popping up, and an option for different layouts for different games or at least two different layouts for NES and SNES games respectfully... But apart from that, it's a very good emulator. Edit: It also struggles to read romhacks and Super famicom games. So playing MegaMan And Bass is going to be difficult... If not impossible. Edit 2: I also think the empty space in the d-pad's center should be filled with the left and right of said d-pad.
