Scared the cr@p out of me. Had this installed for nearly a year... or maybe longer. A few days ago I couldn't recall why I installed this and wasn't 100% certain what this would do so I froze almost every installed app to see what would happen. Nearly every icon vanished from my home screen and I was locked out of most of the features of my launcher. Immediately removed all apps from the ice box and all apps returned to Android's menu (but my custom home screen icons were wiped out). Uninstalled ice box. Four days later I try reinstalling but fail because phone is not compatible with newest version of app. I realized how useful having had this on my phone for so long had been. Was set it and forget it to stop annoying apps from annoying me. Once I uninstalled Ice Box the apps started annoying me all over again. Now to find an old version and reinstall it so Ice box can rescue me. Again. An easy five stars...as long as you know what this is for :/

Great idea, and almost perfect but FATALLY FLAWED. It takes a LONG TIME to set up and organize icons on the home screen. This app REMOVES icons (for the apps you want to freeze) and doesn't put them back. It leaves gaping holes. While this app CAN create (special) icons for the home screen to launch a frozen app, it makes no attempt to replace unfrozen app icons with frozen app icons, thereby leaving all the home screen organization in place. FATAL FLAW. App deleted even after buying it.

Best app to freeze other apps that runs in background and eats your ram, or sucking your data plan. With customizable icons and drawer, it's just the best among any freezer apps in play store. The only thing that stops me giving 5 stars is that this app can freeze the apps you put in it when you lock the phone automatically, but doesn't have whitelist feature for it (for example, you put Spotify or any VPN app in the freezer, but you don't want those apps to be frozen when you lock the screen.)
