Ratings and reviews

Best app to freeze other apps that runs in background and eats your ram, or sucking your data plan. With customizable icons and drawer, it's just the best among any freezer apps in play store. The only thing that stops me giving 5 stars is that this app can freeze the apps you put in it when you lock the phone automatically, but doesn't have whitelist feature for it (for example, you put Spotify or any VPN app in the freezer, but you don't want those apps to be frozen when you lock the screen.)

Interface is nice and it works, but has lots of GUI bugs. Too many wakelocks running in background, could not Brevent this app. Hail does the same thing, has a simpler and bug free GUI and does not have any wakelocks running in background. Would have paid for Pro version if app was not so obtrusive running in background and GUI was not so buggy.

It's really an amazing app that I've ever met! My phone's bought in China, therefore it has many annoying and useless built-in apps. With this app, I can easily Freeze'em to block unwanted notifs. What's more, I even freezed my system launcher because it's terrible. I can use any launchers I like regardless of the restrictions which is already freezed by me!
