An Excellent Application! Absolutely love this application! The overall experience has been fantastic, and the features are impressive, useful, and thoughtfully designed. The app is user-friendly, works well, and makes everything so much more convenient. It's clear that a lot of effort has gone into creating such a wonderful experience for users. Keep up the excellent work, and I look forward to seeing more amazing features and improvements in the future. Highly recommended to everyone!

Great app. Please add Apple Music widget support in the shelf. Also good if you bring back the parking lot reminder widget which was present earlier on One Plus shelf

Unable to see or use ts app ughhh I liked it, but now it's not available, does anyone know what to-do? I hve a realme btw

I don't know about others, but if felt helpful. Especially when you disable all other services and have "Notes" enabled in Shelf. A quick way to check your To-do or Notes if you are a misser 😅

Ajib bakwas hai ye zabardasti kyu download hai mere phone mai mene iski permission nah in Di yah mera phone hai

App only gives you malware issues, says you can uninstall it but when you do, it will not uninstall. No one including myself agreed to having a suspicious app forced into our phone, that only spies on you, steals your data to sell, makes your phone act wonky and slows things down. Remove this app!

I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH... If you buy a OnePlus device and this is on your phone, DO NOT accept the terms of service. This is an AI assistant/vibe coded widget app that, and I cannot stress this enough, has the least amount of widgets (NONE useful) I have ever seen. This might as well be malware disguised as an "official app" you cannot uninstall or diable.

Worst thayoli man. For OnePlus phones you can't even disable the left Google discover pane and replace with Shelf. Why this much koodhi people existing in OPPO and OnePlus?
