Listen it's a great app but one must know what one is installing and how its installed and how to use it but for those of us who are familiar with what it means to use superuser permissions the app does absolutely everything it claims and does it well. Hey when I first dove headfirst into this wondrous realm # I drove a few developers probably insane emailing them back and forth as I stumbled my way through a new learning process hint most of these good people are more than willing to assist

Does not work on Lineage OS 18.1 (Android 11). The app says it installs successfully. After reboot, it says it's installed, but every app that I've tried that requires Busy Box says it's not installed.
