This app, Sucks. It takes over your entire phone and makes it difficult to maneuver around. It rearranged all of my pages with apps into one very long page. Pass by this one!! It also broke up apps that I put in groups. Don't do it!! ZERO STARS.

★★★★ victor Akinmusere 4/17/2026
very bad app, it gives my phone virus
★★★★ Brian Marlow 4/16/2026 v1.2.2
It poped up on Zedge as "you're pdf reader is out of date" and to instalI it. It changed the interphase and installed a bunch of useless stuff l can't delete. Some of the 1 star reviews said that the app is malware and they couldn't delete it, but l found a fix for Samsungs. Find the app in settings and open it. It will give you a choice of interphases, the app, or One UI Home, chose One UI Home and the phone will go back to the original interphase and u can then delete the app. DO NOT INSTALL!!
