Comments on Fast Reboot for Android

★★★★★ Does what it says, and clears up memory in the process. 👍🏼 I have Nougat 7.0. This app worked up until Android 11 on my last phone. BUT, it no longer works with Android 13 (Tiramisu). Hoping developer updates app.

★★★★★ My 5+ year old oneplus 2 was having lag issues. This app came to the rescue and all the lag was gone. Though this app needs to be run once in a while to improve the responsiveness of the phone. The app does what it says without breaking any functionality or closing of running app. Thanks

★★★★★ Allowed on my phone app fast active in the charger

★★★★★ Works on my Amazon 10 HD with Android 7.12. But doesn't work on the Amazon 10 HD Plus 2021. Quick close with a message. No list came up. App probably needs to be updated.

★★☆☆☆ Terrible, this will not reboot your tablet, it is a badly named memory cleaning app. Not an actual reboot insight. Nothing worse than a misleading lying developers

★★☆☆☆ Does NOT work for later versions 8 and up.

★★☆☆☆ Don't download. App does nothing at all. Just flashs fast reboot.

★★☆☆☆ Waste!!! Doesn't work on 6.0.1. I prefer doing ADB reboot.

Show details

Trust & Safety: Permissions include GET_TASKS, KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES, and RESTART_PACKAGES, enabling task and process control. The developer notes maybe_proguarded, and the app does not require root. Users should review these permissions and the app’s false-positive reboot behavior (it simulates a reboot by closing processes, not a true device restart).
