Ratings and reviews

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!

Doesn't update number of allowed apps when resuming the Shizuku app, so you get fooled thinking that you did or did not allow app. Also Shizuku app service gets stopped when enabling usb tethering. Also, can you make shizuku make a wifi ap from which it can enable adb connecting to its own wifi (for the case when no wifi is available and you want to enable Shizuku)

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.
