2024-11-06 | Paul Gann | I've used Greenify for a few years to save battery life, and it's worked well. Unfortunately, now that I have my new Samsung Galaxy 24 Plus, the donation package is stating that it's incompatible with my device. (Meaning the pack needs to be updated to show up on the compatibility list.) This leaves me unable to unlock the portion of the app that allows me to control the system apps. With a whole chunk of the app no longer being open to me, I can't give it the 5 stars I'd love to give it. | |
2024-10-21 | Althemist | Please update so we can install it on new phones, I know that Greenify is in theory not longer needed but this is not really the case, and this is just for give us access to the full app, please just realese the full app for all or update the donation package so new phones can install it | |
2023-07-13 | Jj “Neko” Fatts | I love Greenify. Works fine for me on my rooted Android 12 Pixel 3 XL. I removed it for a bit but my battery wouldn't survive the night. With Greenify, things work great. Given that the app hasn't been updated in years, it may or may not work on your phone ... but on LineageOS, it seems to do just fine (just don't use aggressive doze). Shame there isn't a more modern version as everyone says Android has it built-in now but I haven't found that to be true. | |
2023-05-11 | Mohit Thadani | The base app hasn't been updated for around 5 years now. I don't care for new features but the least I'd expect is that bugs be fixed and the app be updated to be compatible with newer versions of Android. It works fine on Android 11 or lower but breaks and crashes on 12+. Premium version isn't worth it anymore. | |
2023-04-15 | Huy Pham | Loved Greenify so much, I was more than happy to purchase the Donation Package which allows Greenifying system apps. Though I thought that this feature should have been included in the app as standard, and instead the donation package could offer other extras like customized widgets and different UI themes (such as dark mode). | |
2022-07-15 | Arnold Cedeño | I installed xposed & just followed the instruction. Then, hibernated most of my social apps, last thing I know, My phone is browsing & processing fast. Drastically fast.What about greenify that other hibernating apps can't offer, is it capability to comprehensively detach an apps that wokeup while opening other apps. SUPERB!! Thanks DEV for bringing such wonderful app. 1 of the 1st & Brightest hibernating app that i found, been using it for years, maintaining my cp's performance & durability. | |
2022-02-23 | Vesa Tamminen | Developer knows the issue, but do nothing. ::: Not able to activate donation package-festures, i never had this problem before?! ::: Still not fixed, problem only occurs on new (Android 10 or newer) Android-releases. Not problem with older Android (see apps latest update). Plus I have no such a issue with any other apps, so it must be app-issue. Donation package last update was 7 years ago, maybe it's not fully compatible with modern system (even when Google may claim otherwise). | |
2021-06-29 | Jen* Miss Jenka | Used to work great, now no longer thinks it's registered (if it's counter piracy your being ott). The actual program also no longer works correctly, it shuts down a single item then just stops. I would avoid purchasing till they fix some of the bugs occuring in more recent devices (older devices android 9 and below still work as normal licencing issues still happen though) | |
2020-12-21 | No one Paolo Everything | Particulièrement good for rooted android and useful for unrooted devices. Highly recommended, and easy to use to use for most brains it will definitely make a substantial difference of battery hold,though don't expect to operate your device as it was new. Based on your phone manufacturer and your particular product model and you might easily achieve a 15 - 22%of increase battery usage | |
2020-10-25 | linson | Considering the way Android handles apps of late, this app maybe irrelevant in case of memory management & battery conservation. However, it had done good enough deed back in the day. It's not fair to knock down stars because it's not updated anymore. |
