One of the essentials I install on every Android device I own. Just a couple of suggestions for improvement: 1: please add an option to block newly installed apps by default. Every time I install an app and open it for the first time it connects to some server or other. I hardly ever remember to pre-emptively block first before opening a new app. 2: Register AFWall+ as a handler for . json. and use the system file browser. Trying to restore from backups saved in the cloud is a PITA.

The app works great so far but there's a few improvements I'd like to see made if possible. Sometimes the app takes too long to check for root access and i have to close and reopen the app. An option to auto tick the WiFi box for newly installed apps would also be nice. Applying a new rule means the app has to update ALL the rules and not just one. I like to switch rules a lot so for me this is very time consuming. Overall it's a great app with few annoyances.

On version 3.0.3, still cannot make persistent notification icon go away. When enabled, persistent notification is a shield, when disabled it is a white ball. Developer says white ball is from Google. That may be, HOWEVER, neither existed in v2.9 and earlier, so persistent notification icon is due to some change within the app between 2.9 and 3.0. Based on other reviews, these changes should be reverted back to how the old version handled things. I'm glad I still have a copy of 2.9.

I removed notification dot in the recent version. But active notification (on going) will stay until I find a workaround.
