This is the app called Franco Kernel Manager, one of the best kernel managers that are out there… Even when it was outdated (which I think that’s the cause it got booted from the PlayStore?).

I used it to check the process of my phone and monitor the active and idle drain mostly, I paid for it a long time ago, but now it just fails to check the licence and it doesn’t let me use it fully… I think there must be a cracked APK over there…

EDIT:

Fortunately the app is back in the store and hopefully that update version comes soon enough!

    When the only “valid source” for an app is an app store run by an advertising company that’s more then enough to justify it.

      “Deprive small indie devs of revenue because advertisers would get a cut” is a bad take. Support small developers or don’t use their product. If a small dev chooses to use a platform you don’t like then don’t use their product.

      IMO piracy is only justified when it corrects for a problem. Doing it without consideration for who is being harmed isn’t cool.

      If taking $1 from Google also means taking $5 from a small dev, you’re doing more harm than good

        and big tech mass surveillance isn’t a problem?
