Review summary

AppNotifier is well-liked for restoring app installation and update notifications removed by Google, providing useful security insights and ease of use. However, users frequently experience inconsistent notifications, a lack of customization options like whitelists, no notification history, and missed notifications for system apps. Reliability varies among devices, and users express desire for enhanced features and better developer support.

Simple, clean, and easy to use interface without ads, providing essential notifications.
Helpful for monitoring auto-updates, especially when auto-update settings are off.

Open-source and community appreciated for fulfilling a needed gap in Android app monitoring.

Cons

Inconsistent notifications on some devices, sometimes failing to notify about app updates or installs.
Lack of features such as whitelist/blacklist to customize notifications for specific apps.
No history feature to view past notifications, limiting user tracking over time.
Issues with notifications after updating pre-installed or system apps, which are sometimes missed.
Some users find the app less reliable on certain phone models and report no developer response to issues.

2026-04-04	Ph*****	I have a Xiaomi device. Anyone who had a Xiaomi device knows the torture of finding new apps on your phone that are now system apps you cannot even force stop. I had this happen to me several months ago where a very offensive app appeared on my phone called Games Centre. The System App Updater silently updates it but hides the visual history from you. This App Notifier is the only app I have found which tells me in real time when these apps get updated. I can't thank this app developer enough.
