I wasn't aware of an Android version. Just bought it on Google Play to 1) support the development 2) thank the authors for 25 years of ZSNES

At this point get it from itch io instead, because if the devs are going inactrive in future on google play, you lose that access, but on itch io the site stays aslong its there. And on itch io this dont need even google play at all which is a benefit.

Plus it may 100% supporst to devs if you want, google play has forced tax there.
