Ratings and reviews

If you are confused, this gives you a lot of access and abilities that normally you would have to be rooted to get without having to root your phone. There's a slight learning curve and don't go clicking around without knowing what you're doing because you could slow your phone down or worse, but if you are okay watching a simple video you will be able to do amazing things

Shizuku has revolutionized my phone usage. I finally have control over my hidden folders and was able to finally get rid of useless assistant apps that are forced on my phone, all thanks to shizuku being able to give elevated permissions. I highly recommend searching up what apps you can use in conjunction with shizuku, you'd be surprised just how much it can help to delete bloatware or disable certain permissions. as with everything, take caution before deleting stuff, know what you're doing.

In short, because I need to access app data folders often, it's become a necessity to use this just to make my *android* devices usable again. I bought these devices. I should be able to decide what to do with them. I thought that was why android was competitive.
