NOTE: THIS IS NOT A GAME!! If you don't know what emulators and front-ends are this app is not for you!
This is an emulator front-end that will painlessly organize your retro game collection.
Little to no set-up is necessary in many cases. Dig will automatically scan your device for games, download cover art, and assign emulators.
However, you must supply your own games and install the emulators yourself. Dig will take you to the Play Store pages of emulators that are not installed.
Other features include
* Support for 83 systems and counting * Merged game sets * Android homescreen game launching * 6 game view types * customizable themes with (optional) background pictures, videos, and music/sound effects * voice search * support for zipped CD images
and more!

How to install Dig - Emulator Front-End APK on Android phone or tablet?
Download Dig - Emulator Front-End APK file from ApkClean, then follow these steps:
Update Phone Settings
Go to your phone Settings page
Tap Security or Applications (varies with device)
Check the Unknown Sources box
Confirm with OK
Go to Downloads
Open Downloads on your device by going to My Files or Files
Tap the APK file you downloaded (com.digdroid.alman.dig-v1.44.3-ApkClean.apk)
Tap Install when prompted, the APK file you downloaded will be installed on your device.
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading). As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

3 ★It works decent on my fire tablet for my mame library but lists my snes games for N64 and vice versa asking me to download retroarch...PPSSPP games listed as PS2 as well. I have around 100 arcade games so it works well for what it is.
4 ★So far so great. Really helpful in compiling all the emulators and games in a single app.
1 ★It's useless! My emulators don't even show up on systems... They show up on games, so what's the point... Might as well just run the emulators by themselves. The user interface is just horrible, not user friendly at all.
5 ★Minus not loading citra and redream, it's a great work around for android 11 scoped storage. (which absolutely sucks by the way) Pretty great app all around!
5 ★This is near perfect. Just wish it had more emulators support and better android game integration.
2 ★I wish it gave you the option your options in the main menu I hate having to click 3 menus just to play the game Update: Still no option for what I asked for also Dreamcast emulators don't boot well at all using this
5 ★This app is fantastic, I've been searching the seven seas of the Google Play store for an app like this for about a year and a half and boy! not only is this app what I was looking for, but even more than that! My dashboard now looks pretty cool bow that I've started displaying my games on there as widgets. The way they are shaped is beautiful and not only allows me to quickly access my favourite games from the dashboard but also lets me make it look pretty and be able to show it off to friends. To improve: In the theme editor allow for you to be able to add more than one folder to the background sounds or make the app look inside folders. In the theme editor add a preview maybe? Add different fonts and make it so you can change the size. Great app, must download for anyone with emulators, keep up the good work! This app is perfect even without what I said so don't feel the app is bad because it doesn't have my suggested improvements or don't feel (developers) that you should feel pressured to add them. Thanks! See ya'!
4 ★Nice lightweight and functional front-end! A few of questions/suggestions... Is there a way to turn off the right/left page navigation so I can just click A and B to go forward and back (right/left often leads to accidental page flips). It would be nice to have custom backgrounds for individual systems. Lastly, the "grid" layout is misaligned once you scroll down. It starts out fine, but after scrolling down one step the bottom row is slightly off-screen and the top row shows a piece of the row above it. Nice work!
5 ★Wonderful app - really love it. Would it be possible to go into a system, and view Favourites for that system only? It seems at the moment I can only view all Favourites across all systems. I also have a few games that the automatic scan won't pick up, is there a way to manually add files? EDIT: Awesome! The game I can't get to detect is the Japanese version of Super Mario Bros 2. My file's extension is .NES and I can get it to work with the NES core I'm using with RetroArch, but is the file not getting detected by Dig because the game really came out for the FDS rather than the NES? Other examples are Sega CD games, I didn't have any luck with Mortal Kombat, Final Fight CD or Pepsiman.
5 ★Love this app. A few suggestions however. Introduce some material design theming into the app. This app has a lot of potential, I just wish the interface was more consistent with other apps. Take a look at the material.io website. It has lots of guidelines. I think it would improve a lot of things in your interface. You can implement the retro look into a material design theme while still making it look consistent. Also consider a different icon, maybe a 8bit controller. Also for some reason mario 64 trashman rom for the DS is showing up as a wii game also.
4 ★Great app, but there are improvements to be done, like supporting more emu I use the Johnsnes to emulate snes because the controls there are neat. But this app sadly doesn't support it.
5 ★hands down the best frontend for android. beautiful interface, easy to customize, and simple to use. and it pairs perfectly with retroarch. wow! i ran into a couple of problems with my setup. the developer was incredibly responsive and helped me even though one of the issues was "user error." thank you!!!
