Ratings and reviews

This is the easiest way to disable and uninstall pre-installed TV apps. I have a Panasonic TV which has a lot of factory catch-up TV apps which despite disabling in the Android settings, always get re-enabled after the TV is restarted. With this app the unwanted apps are disabled and stay disabled. I also used this on a Sony TV to disable a load of hidden Sony bloatware and background processes, which now has my TV running faster and more smoothly than it ever has.

Works as expected. The only issue is sometimes, if the prompt to allow the debugging connection does not show, the user must restart their device in order for the prompt to show properly. The developer should add instructions indicating as such to the setup wizard.

works well but is super aggressive at nagging you for ratings and upgrading to pro. the latter of which i felt was a bit too expensive by my standards. this app works great and was an easy and effiecient way to shutdown all the bloatware on my 2017 nvidia shield tv. freeing up resources and keeping my device running smooth even in 2025.
