Ratings and reviews

A lifesaver for phones in the Xiaomi series... The amount of bloatware and things I'll never use on those phones always bothered me, I don't want them in my app drawer!! Well, safe to say that this app worked perfectly, my Redmi Note 13 and Redmi 9 look way less cluttered now... Beware of uninstalling them in big batches though, just a recommendation, because then it bugs out (even if the apps are marked as recommended).

I used this app with Shizuku when I noticed my phone had installed that "app drawer" full of ads. It was a bit weird to connect it but once I did, I got rid of over 80 unnecessary services on my phone... that is such a big relief. I'm a minimalist and I don't need YouTube, Facebook or trackers... Brace the developer who put these notes and explains if it is safe to remove the services!

Thank you so much for this awesome app. I have been dealing with a hacker who I suspect is a developer for 4 months now. This brand new phone had 300 system apps! Many were device management and there were several phone apps, all in China. Unfortunately I was so freaked out and did it all at once. It didn't delete any and my phone crashed and I had to reset it and it's all back on there I am going to try again soon, maybe a few at a time.
