## Review summary

Users appreciate the app's ability to disable unwanted apps especially with Shizuku's help, offering control on un-rooted devices. However, many express dissatisfaction with the free version's strict three-app limit, the mandatory requirement for Shizuku or root access, and issues with root detection. Some faced problems with previous purchases not being recognized and intrusive redirection to other websites after installation. While some find it useful and effective, others deem it ineffective or a potential trap to push the paid version.

### Pros

- Effective at disabling unwanted apps when used with Shizuku.
- Provides useful functionality for un-rooted Android users.
- Clean and easy to use interface as per some positive feedback.

### Cons

- Free version limits disabling to only three apps, making it largely ineffective without purchase.
- Requires Shizuku app or root access to function properly, not working independently.
- Issues with detecting root or Shizuku leading to app being unusable for some users.
- Some users report previous purchases not being acknowledged or app prompting to repurchase.
- App sometimes redirects to external websites after installation, which is undesirable.
