Comments on DontKillMyApp: Make apps work for Android

★★★★★ Davie Craig · Jun 20, 2026

Does what it says on the tin. Helped me experiment with settings ton allow apps to persist in the background on my Chinese ROM phone.

★★★★★ Darkest Love · Apr 19, 2026

These people are trying to help us keep Android the way it should be. Support that. Support the mission to keep Android ours, modifiable to operate the way that we, the user, who purchased their $1200+ phone, wants it to operate. Not some company who already profits off of our ignorance and willingness to conform as a whole. That said, this app is so easy&simple that it's almost confusing 😂😅 I'm so used to things being hard, that when something is this easy, I fear I'm doing something wrong.

★★★★★ Mark Harris · May 25, 2026

I didn't understand a word of the information in the box, but my phone seemed to charge well whilst the app was doing something with my battery.
