## Review summary

Users are split: several praise the app as simple and effective on certain rooted devices, but many report major issues — crashes and incompatibility on Android 9/11, root-detection problems, and garbled/unusable password output. Overall reliability appears highly device- and root-dependent.

### Pros

- Works on some rooted devices — multiple users report it successfully recovers keys on compatible phones.
- Simple and fast to use — several reviewers described it as straightforward or "simply works."
- No ads or popups reported by at least one satisfied user.

### Cons

- Incompatible or unstable on newer Android versions (Android 9, 11); many users report crashes or the app closing on startup.
- Requires root access and can be confusing — some users report the app still asks for root or doesn't recognize root even when present.
- Recovered output can be unreadable or appear as a long string of numbers/letters instead of a usable password.
- Many users report the app simply "doesn't work" on various devices (passwords not shown or incorrect).
