User Reviews

Users like the app for sideloading and quick access on TVs thanks to its simple, compact UI and home-screen organization. The biggest drawbacks are ads and a need for more customization (card arrangement, non-alphabetical sorting, and control over the recent items), plus some UI sizing issues (large icons, limited screen usage) and a basic look. Improvements in customization options and reduced advertising would align the app with user expectations.

Pros

Simple, clean, and compact UI with quick access to apps
Very convenient for sideloading; straightforward to use for casual sideloaders
Works well on Android TV/TV boxes
Helps organize apps on the home screen with a clear line of apps for fast launches
Visually clear UI elements (e.g., easily visible icons/cursor)

Cons

Intrusive advertising and promotional banners; ads are a recurring complaint
Limited customization: can't rearrange cards, or choose non-alphabetical ordering; inability to delete from the front page; requests for more listing options and a paid version to remove ads
UI/layout issues: icons are too large and layout occupies only part of the screen; screen usage is limited
Perceived lack of polish/look: some reviews say it looks/basic and not visually polished

best for sideloading!

For casual sideload users, this is pretty convenient. No ads, straight to the point. I do wish they added an option to directly delete apps from the front page, though.
