It has VISUAL BUGS (related to the VRAM of the gbc and the way it loads) creating visual aberrations on game... and the colors are oversaturated (I am 100% sure it is an issue of this emulator in specific because I tried another one here in my phone and it ran perfectly). Not worth paying for the app on this state of development.. I hope it gets better one day. Also... it asks for you to be ONLINE sometimes in order to confirm that you paid for the APP (extremely annoying)

Have been using the lite version and recently upgraded. This has been working well for me on GBC games and roms. I have not had any issues with saving or the app crashing.
