  1. 4/5Pretty great !

    The app is mostly a more simpler UI for RetroArch but still it works great ! Has clouds saves if you have a subscription so you can just jump to phone to pc real easy. The creator is also working on balancing the freee tier and paid tier and he’s very chill on the discord. He has made this a job so that’s the reason there’s a paid tier to keep it alive! It also has filters built in which is awesome ! Try it out I myself don’t mind RetroArch being more complex but the simplicity and accessibility is just so much better feels like a 2025 emulator !

  2. 2/5Great, until bugs kept me from doing anything.

    I was having the best of times, literally the best emulator app I’ve ever had on my phone. I even ended up paying the subscription. Then, one day I try to add another game to my files, and I realize everything I press just brings me to the Recently Played tab. When I try to link my account, straight to the Recently Played tab. I try all sorts of options and most buttons don’t even work anymore. For me, the app is effectively broken and I am so disappointed such a major bug has no fix. Even though it went through bug fixes three days ago. I was intending to keep this app for a long time, now I’m afraid I’ve wasted my money and will have to move on. Developers, this is a MASSIVE issue and needs to be addressed immediately. It’s extremely sad, I was so satisfied to feeling beyond frustrated.

  3. 5/5This Emulator Stands Out

    There’s really no better emulator option on iOS. The features and ease of use being Afterplay above the rest, and compare favorably to PC emulation, at least for the unique polish and presentation. It’s worth the price of the subscription, and even then the amount of features you can access for free is incredibly generous. The amount of negative reviews here is unfortunately the consequence of the insane number of people who think everything should be free. Ignore them and reward the good work and polish this developer has put in.

  4. 5/5Favorite Way to Play Retro Games

    This has become my favorite way to play retro games. From the cloud saves, Retro Achievements, Netplay, easy user experience, and the various other integrations makes it hard for me to recommend any other platform. Everything is a very clean experience, which allows me to enjoy various games across different platforms and devices. The level of convenience, continuity, and functionality provided is so well executed that I can’t imagine playing retro games any other way. Looking forward to the future of Afterplay.

  5. 5/5Let’s you play your games anywhere

    Afterplay’s cloud syncing means I can access my games and saves from any device, phone, iPad, PC, or Mac! I love being able to play pokemon on my phone and being able to access my saves on PC and then continue my progress back on my phone again.
