Button Savior user reviews :

I love the convenience of this app and the longevity it adds to the buttons on my over priced GN2. Thanks and I bought themes and Pro. Wouldn’t be without this app. Update 11/06/2018: This app was excellent a few yrs ago but is long overdue for an update. Pro version for root no longer fully functional.

I heard this app Actually is 1 of the First Remapping apps which now Adays There’s a Good bit of them and Regardless of a Lack in Having any updates in various Years it still exist in playstore it must Really be a Good app then but I’m wondering can You plz update this app and try competing with Button mapper Which is The Best app currently of it’s kind That can change but since button mapper is That popular Nearly on everybody’s tv it will not be an easy Task but if possible it’s worth a try

When power button fails and the only way to shut off phone is to remove the battery, Button Savior (root) gave the phone a few more months (maybe years) of useful life to run some other apps. Thanks!

Great app when it works. Kept locking up when I tried to change the settings in the application. uninstalled it due to this.
