It froze my phone completely until I charged it. Edit: I mean, as in turning on and off, lagging and stuff, and it did not work at all for me
I would not recommend this app it actually permanently damaged my phone charger port cause it to over heat to the critical and causing a burning smell it will shorten out your charging port that can lead to a fire hazard Google needs to remove this app as it a hazard. Some one is going to get hurt badly or killed.
Does what it says though the documentation is a little lacking, wish there was a stated temperature threshold for the heat settings. If you're on a Samsung device the Game Optimising service will artificially limit the app to the little cores after a few minutes thus making the app feel like it has no effect. You'll also want to unrestrict the apps battery usage. I use adguard for my phones private dns so I don't see any ads from the app. While -5c outside it kept my phone around 18-22c.
