Add the dpi option as well.

If you could add pull down to refresh on the updates screen that would be cool. It currently only works on the installed apps screen.

Edit: it looks like pull to refresh doesn't work on the lower half of the screen. Only on the top half.

I've attached a video showing this.

Edit: Removed link as issue is fixed.

[rumboalla]

This will be fixed on next version

[warmoans]

It's fixed now so I'm taking the video down from my mega. Thanks for fixing it.

I have a request :3
A possibility to use Shizuku for silent installs

[rumboalla]

Added this to the list.
If you are on Android 12+ silent installs are already supported.

I'd like to have an option to download specific/older version. Not only install but also an option to download the apk file.

Also it would be nice to be able to choose which source to download from

Why actually feature requests in a discussion? That's not really optimal imo, because:

1. Now users who want to contribute can't link it to an issue (because there's none). Theyll have to find the discussion first (which is inefficient as issues are the way-to when looking for pending bugs or feature requests)
2. It's against good Git practices
3. You as a maintainer would have to keep updating the list you created at the beginning of this discussion

[rumboalla]

I find it easier this way. The important issues are in issues and don't get buried by tons of stuff and the feature requests are curated in a handful of discussions.
It is OK to open issues for features that are being implemented and link to it.

[AnonymousWP]

But what then happens is that the issue of the feature request is closed, and thus you can't link to it anymore in a PR (or well, you can, but what's the point as it's already closed?).

Apologies for posting this in the wrong section first. I forgot to select the proper form. Again though thank you for the work you've put into this!

Ideas to ponder that I think would make good features and benefit the app for a smoother experience

(1) Ability to see updates source and applications source. For example tapping on the application to see it's source and the source for a update.

Theses features would make it a little bit more convenient to see whats in the new update (instead of blindly updating it) and saves time in my opinion. Something equivalent to how you can pull up the application information on Droid-ify. Being able to go directly to the apps source [GitHub, APK mirror ect] alongside a list of the new features in the update you're installing/viewing. Maybe even a previous versions list for comparison

(2) The ability to ignore updates (all new updates) for certain applicants alongside ignoring the current update (Already on your list)

(3) Being able to have Shizuku Installer as a 3rd installer option. I think it would be really beneficial.
(Already on your list)

(4) Having the ability to have some applications set up to automatically update while other's can be set to manually update. That would help with applications that are sometimes know to be released with bugs/issues in their newer versions but allowing others to update automatically.
Personally I'd love a feature like that.

Reworded repost of #453 I posted in the wrong place accidentally.

Edited for a typo and better clarification.

[Request] Compile-time option to disable the search tab

I'm trying to make my phone as distraction-free as possible while still keeping my needed apps up to date. The search feature makes it too easy to install distracting apps in moments of weakness. A compile-time option to disable search would greatly reduce my ability to install distracting apps. I am not asking you to provide builds with this option (though that would be really great).

Might seem wild and far away from what you would want to invest time into so I'm not requesting it, just dropping it here as something I thought about.

• Icon Pack support

I'll add two more
Given

• Collapsed ignored apps.

How about making it a toggle like 'hide system apps' and 'hide disabled'

Also an option in the Settings page for a "one time full check" including Ignore Apps.

Two small feautes for improved usability.

• List view like what we have in v2.
• Version upgrade info like we have in v2 (currently installed version -> Upgrade Version)

[imxade]

Update all button

• Auto update check notify

This app is would be really useful for people who are trying to make their smartphones "dumber" by removing all kinds of browsers, stores and social media apps, while maintaining some other important apps like banking and music ones.
However, requiring a browser to download the apps kills it for this specific use case. Implementing a custom, embedded web-view to download the app is a nice solution if direct downloads can't be implemented.
