Review summary

BootControl is a free Android app that reliably launches selected apps automatically on device boot across many devices. Users appreciate its simplicity and developer responsiveness. However, it has drawbacks such as occasional crashes, lack of advanced features like connectivity checks or app minimization, limited Android Auto integration, and some UI usability concerns. Despite minor issues, it remains a highly valued tool for auto-starting apps on boot for many users.

Pros

Effectively automates launching apps on device boot, working reliably on many devices.
Free of charge and provides a valuable function without cost.
Simple and straightforward to use, with some helpful features like easy removal of apps from the boot list.
Responsive developer support with quick issue resolution and useful guidance.
Compatible with a wide range of devices including Android phones and less common setups like Raspberry Pi and automotive head units.

Cons

App sometimes crashes or fails to start on certain older Android versions or less common devices.
Lacks advanced features such as waiting for internet connectivity before launching apps or minimizing apps after startup.
User interface has issues including poor app list ordering, difficulty finding apps, and absence of user guidance/tutorials.
Occasionally runs in the background unnecessarily after apps have launched, with no option to disable this.
Does not integrate or work well with Android Auto, limiting usefulness in car environments.

2024-11-08	Be*****	Every time that I open from my lock screen, it goes into action, opening my start-up apps. Very much a nuisance app. If this is foxed, this app would be a winner. Samsungung Galaxy S22zplus, Android 14.
