### 2/5 — 👎

*2026-06-18*

Parecia promissor, mas aos poucos foi revelando seus bugs, desabilita as funções de background dos apps que vc adiciona no grupo escondido, tornando o recurso de automações da apple completamente inútil por exemplo! 👎

**Developer response:** Olá, nos desculpamos pela experiencia que teve com o app.
Ocultar o app realmente o desabilita, por isso as automações não vão funcionar com ele oculto.
Vamos trabalhar nessa melhoria, obrigado!

### 5/5 — Well

*2026-05-01*
