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

Great app, no problems. I've paired this up with Canta Debloater and I've removed at least ~2 GB of storage from my phone and was able to optimize my phone increasing my phone performance by an amazing amount. I'm glad there are people out there that can offer applications allowing people to achieve digital freedom. Thanks again to Rikka for making android a better place!

Everyone using Shizuku should check out Netwall. Netwall is the only app I found that can block connections without using the Android VPN. I was using a DNS changer with the Android VPN but had no firewall since only one app can use the Android VPN at a time. Now, I have a firewall to limit the connections. It's a great app, and the price is fair. Shizuku is excellent, and the other apps I'm using are for permission restrictions.
