Was awesome when it first came out. Now it's plagued with ads so bad I'm deleting the app after making this rating. And the bs pay for no ads message that it has, is also a lie. I smell a lawsuit developing in their future. It should be 0 of 5 stars for this ridiculous bombardment of ads.

Intrusive amounts of advertisement. You have to sit through three 15-second ads with three different screen layouts to get to the point where you're able to finally wait another 45 seconds for all your apps to force stop.

Works well. I wish you could set it to run automatically every x minutes though.

It's been awesome but after the recent update it's been flipping thru my apps without actually force stopping them I'm not sure if it's an app update issue or me updating to Android 14 issue but this kinda sucks

It used to be really good but it's now completely over ran with ads. You have to watch 5 videos now every time you want to close apps. It's just way too much now

Was much better before. Now commercials interrupt and stop the process. It's ridiculous because I can't find a paid ad free option

Zero stars. App is now garbage for some reason. Claims it needs access all of a sudden when it already has access update didn't help. It's probably malware. Well it's free and in this case you get what you pay for. Uninstalled.

Does not work. Presents its advertisements and then gets stuck, stating on the Temu's ad forever without the ability to go back. Only option (what an irony) is to force close it. Scam trying to gain money from presenting ads to you. Use at your own peril.

This app used to be the best, now it is part of the worse Billboard apps. Every time I click, a advertising app pop up, taking forever to get to the functionality of this app. Now other apps are better than this app I'm deleting this app
