## Retroman Reviews in United States

### ***** "Works like a charm"
No complaints what’s over . Great  emulator and very clean interface
-- @Bxlarry176, 2025-10-19

### *---- "Doesn&#039;t work for me."
Every time it says it&#039;s running it just has a white screen. 
Tried several different roms that all run on my SE but won&#039;t run here on my 11. Running 13.5 on this and this was the only one I could download for it.
-- Bkrenfro, 2025-05-11

### ***** "Works but glitches from time to time"
It’s not perfect but the developers are working on it 👍
-- Diray Acosta, 2025-01-26

### ***** "Clean &amp; Fun (Now with GBA!)"
Really like this app; I’m a huge fan of the iCloud sync, and also the developer is responsive (thank you for the GBA!) Great stuff if you need an IOS Apple first class experience that is streamlined and not cluttered with features you don’t need.
-- Mosscow, 2024-10-23

### ***-- "Still needs more work"
I see major improvements in gfx and frame rate advancements but the portrait touchscreen controls need a better resizing where are all.the promised shader settings that you said were in the last updates please add more settings and add support for snes Genesis and pc engine MAME and Fb Neo And U Might Just Have The Emulator.ouy if.you can work on All of these if rather use retro hub on a bad day lol
-- purrpgoddpeebles, 2024-10-02

### ***** "add 8 direction buttons"
I hope to add 8 direction buttons, so that it will be more convenient to play Contra
-- RuiFengBian, 2024-08-12

### ***-- "Minimalist Emulator"
It’s a good emulator that does as advertised. While it has a way to load saves, I think it would be a good addition to have a save button. Corner directions don’t seem to work, it’s frustrating trying to fire up-right in Contra for example.

It’s great that I can play my favorite games wherever I am, but it took me 3 hours to figure out a way to get my Roms onto my phone. This process could be improved. When using iTunes or whatever file transfer app, some phone apps appear to support transferring files, but not this one.
-- ReallyDeadTom, 2024-08-08

### ***** "Outstanding emulator"
Thank you for making this nes emulator, I love the retro themes. I would recommend adding cheat code support, support zip files, shaders, and fast forward in the future. Cheers!
-- Robertsnes, 2024-07-10

### ***** "Nicely done."
I appreciate the little retro touches like the TV static on screen before you load a rom. Additionally, the non-emulator UI I nicely done and the emulation itself is solid. 

Great work!
-- BurritoFridays, 2024-07-09

### *---- "Scam"
I couldn’t load super Mario 3
-- prin-ce25, 2024-07-06
