Shizuku is my favourite Android utility, however what number of readers use it?

There are a handful of Android apps that I depend on each day, and Shizuku may be very close to the head of that record. It’s not an app that gives performance within the conventional sense, however it often opens up avenues which are in any other case inaccessible to different apps. I’ve listed my favourite Shizuku-powered apps in a earlier article that highlights simply how far-reaching it actually is.

Naturally, I’d be fairly misplaced with out Shizuku on my telephone, however I puzzled how necessary the app is for our readers. In that aforementioned article, I revealed a ballot asking readers in the event that they use Shizuku on their telephones. The outcomes are beneath.

This ballot obtained simply over 2,500 votes. Whereas the stability of ballots solid throughout the 4 choices is comparatively even, slightly below a 3rd of all respondents (31.4%) use Shizuku usually on their units, simply as I do.

A bigger share of readers (albeit by round 10 votes) admit to having by no means tried it, however now wish to after voting within the ballot. That’s a 31.7% share of the vote, thoughts. An additional 27% of voters have put in Shizuku however hardly ever use it, whereas solely 9.9% of respondents don’t use the app and don’t want it.

Many readers within the feedback notice that Shizuku now not works with newer variations of Android, however that’s not solely correct. Whereas the Play Retailer model of Shizuku is barely up to date, the GitHub model is way more moderen. And, sure, it does work on Android 16 — it’s at present operating on my Galaxy S24 FE. Sadly, there are points for these operating Android 17, and it’s unclear when they are going to be resolved.

When you use Shizuku in your Android telephone, inform me how you utilize it. Do you depend on it to run a selected app or a whole suite? What machine do you run it on, and have you ever encountered any points? Let’s begin the dialogue beneath.
