Ratings and reviews

Best 99 cents I've ever spent. I managed to mess up my phone and even though I don't particularly know what this app does, I was able to fix my issue with it.

aShell is Badass! Must use with Shizuku, which is another awesome app use enabled thru Dev Options - USB Debug (to enable next step) - Wireless Debug (any WiFi will do, inc local hotspot, LAN, heck even use a IOT/smart device with no internet access) - pair Shizuku with wireless debug for incredible Android API access normally requiring PC and USB cable, or root... Now fire up aShell and get er done! Pro 1_User Tip: Dev made it easy for this crash-test dummy with list of essential shell CMDS! 🥰

Very easy and convenient to use. I started out setting up Termux with rish and I don't even bother with that anymore.
