Works perfectly on my phone with Android 12. But not at all on my grandkids tablets with Android 9. The tablets were what I was wanting the app for....to boot them up in Kids Mode. Update: thank you for the link. It was the settings in the battery saving features on the tablets. I had to tell it to allow the app to auto launch.

This is one of the most impressive apps I currently know of. Totally recommend. My old android(3G) is back, "In-the-game". Thank you!

Works exceptionally well. Would give it 5 stars if there was a settleable delay available after each app's start to allow it to complete before stating the next.

Very helpful for my Amazon Fire tablet. I use this to auto-start Nova Launcher when my tablet is unlocked. One used to be able to disable Fire Launcher, but Amazon patched that. Well worth the purchase price!

Does not autostart Android pie. Edit - Thank you for the link. I had read all of those prior to posting. The settings you recommend, for enabling autostart, are not present in Android 8.1 or 9.0 Additionally, the app itself shows "no permissions requested" and the ability to change permissions is "greyed out". Besides my original statement that this does not autostart in Android Pie (9), I can now also state that it does not Autostart in Android 8.1 It works just fine on an Android 7 device, however.

It does not autorun the apps I have added. It seems to me that Boot Apps does not even launch itself.
