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.
