★★★★★David Daniel· Apr 13, 2026
Works well and free for me. It hibernates the app that I don't want to use. Saves my battery 🔋.
★★★★★Brandon Cole· Mar 23, 2026
The OG creators of this idea, The very first app that you can use free! System apps feature, I remember you'd to have paid in order to close out all the apps properly, Amazing! I noticed with my Pixel 7, that I am 20w charger, just this app, charging a 5000 mAH battery. I'd estimate a 30% increase in charging speed! Once I run a full hibernation of my running apps and system apps. My phone holds a charge a lot longer, and I notice a more healthy productive CPU Smoother Graphics Easy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!!
★★★★★Patrick Estimada· Mar 5, 2026
Good app, this one actually works🥰🥰🥰, I recommend using this app when your android phone is always freezes, hanging up, or getting slower overtime, usually many apps are running in the background at the same time, hibernator takes care of that instantly...👍👍👍

Very disappointing. I paid for the premium version because the feature was marked as paid-only, yet after payment I still receive the same message saying it is only available on the paid version. If my payment was successful, why is the feature still locked? Please fix this issue or refund my money. Situations like this give users the impression of a scam, which is concerning, especially on Google Play where people expect trust and accountability.

I was liking it as a natural successor to Greenify. But it's started hibernating while the screen is on, and I'm using an app. I don't think I set up a gesture shortcut or anything (not sure you can for Hibernator) which I'm triggering accidentally, and perhaps the app I'm in is one that I set to hibernate automatically, but I didn't meanwhile I'm looking at it! "Hibernating" pops on screen out of the blue and what looks like a button is unresponsive. Uninstalling. Disappointed.

It doesn't retain settings. Every time my phone restarts, the app looses settings to "accessibility ". I have to always manually toggle it back on. Fix
