Comments on Sideload Launcher - Android TV for Android

★★★★★ I don't fully understand this one, just the basics but not the risks or why some apps show up in its list that were previously assumed to be safe loaded direct. Good to look it up for more details if unsure like me. I hesitate to use it but partly because it helps warn me of possible issues.

★★★★★ Works as described. To Developer. Please allow rearranging Icons. I use it to launch only few apps, but they always require too many remote clicks to reach. I would love to havw then upfront & top. Please consider. Thanks.

★★★★★ Even tho its simple, It's good to use if you have apps that don't usually appear in the apps' menu (by default) I suggest you should download this if you have an android tv

★★☆☆☆ Too simple, I just feel this has a lot of entry levels I am not aware about, seems hidding a huge space on the back end.

★★☆☆☆ Can download the app, but can't actually open it.! And it doesn't show up amongst my other apps.! So to me.that's dodgy.so uninstalled it now. Pointless app, only gave a star to leave a review.

★★☆☆☆ The Xiaomi K50 Pro phone doesn't allow me to open the app which is very strange even though I gave all the permissions for the app.

★★☆☆☆ Problem while install why I've found another one with any problem?
