BusyBox is a software application that provides many standard Unix tools, much like the larger (but more capable) GNU Core Utilities. BusyBox is designed to be a small executable for use with the Linux kernel, which makes it ideal for use with embedded devices. It has been self-dubbed "The Swiss Army Knife of Embedded Linux".
Leave this installed if you always want to get the latest version of busybox!

Doesn't install on boot on Android 11 (even though the notification shows success it shows not installed if you open the app). I was hoping for the best, since the new partition structure was known before the last update. Yet another device switched to the Magisk module that works fine on 11.
So if ur rooting a Samsung (modern + exynos), you want to install busybox module through Magisk. This busybox app, free and paid, is a waste, because it does not cooperate well with magisk and will probably leave you reflashing your phone again. Save urself the time, if Magisk doesnt have the download menu for busybox module, you messed up, start over.
i remember using the free version a lot on my old Xperia Play. however i brought the pro version thinking i would need it in android 9 magisk and no, magisk has it's own busy box module. well, wasn't completely wasted money, since i did used (a lot) back in the day, so i finally paid up.
bug: upon launching app and pressing the Install button, it asks if i want to enable auto-reinstall-on-boot. if i select no, the app does nothing at all and the install button seems broken. upon relaunching the app and pressing install, if i select yes then it installs just fine and i have to turn off the auto-reinstall-on-boot feature.
Still using this app since my Nexus5 (kk 4.4.4). Many years later, and many many Google/LG/OnePlus/Motorola phones later, there is still no better implementation of BusyBox for Android out there. No issues to date and that says much about the app.
I bought this sometime back. It is in my list of things that I bought. When I see it in the Play Store it shows I purchased it. But when I try to reinstall it it asks for me to buy it again!
the only problem im having to s that is t sometimes does not reinstall again at boot. It still has notconsecutively three times in a row reinstalled itself at boot. What am I doing wrong??
Garbage of app. The app install itself after every reboot although in the free app it says that in the pro it won't. Uninstall it and install busybox magisk module.
while not as needed as it used to be on mobile devices, this is still by far the best compilation if you need BusyBox!
This App is for people that unlock the freedom on my phone and your phone too with the right tools this app would be good for you!!!
the app wasent installed proper so i will uninstall and reinstall the app with the aid of root checker pro which will fix the error but hay everyone this is a great app 5 star!
Time for an update! Not a bad applet manager.
Auto update doesn't work on pixel 2 with Android 9 and 10.
Does not auto reinstall after reboot. Which was t he reason for buying the app.
great app, but no longer automatically reinstalling to sbin, even with option checked.
No longer updating. The latest busybox stable is 1.31.1 why is this not updatimg
Awesome app for rooted phones, if yours is rooted get the pro version. Guarrantee youll love it!
Outstanding application lol now figure out a way for Busy Box to make rooting easier 🤣😂ðŸ˜... For real though 🤔
Finally coughed up for it, only pain is when you can't reactivate pro version on fresh install
Cannot change the auto-install directory for reboots.
Busybox Pro has been a #1 app for rooted androids for years & still going strong!!!
Free version worked fine but the pro.. I have to always reinstall
Cannot update our reinstall anymore.
Best BusyBox app for sure 100%
Where is the shell? Wheredo I tap the commands? Does it work in Android 9?
keep the money dude app did not run even when I followed apps instructions
Ok, it's my fault. Install busybox in magisk before.
Great app works for all Android devices
must have app for a rooted phone with custom roms
Best Busybox app hands down! The pro version is definitely worth it. Even the self reinstall on reboot is very handy. It has not failed me yet. I am a little confused as if I have to use pro and the free version but I deleted the free version and just running the pro version. Overall 10/10 would highly recommend. Edit: on android 11 it doesn't automatically reinstall itself to /sbin so I have to manually reinstall on reboot/power off to /system/bin but it still works as intended
