IF your phone is rooted, this is the app to use to change DNS. If your phone is NOT rooted, go root it right away os you don't have to switch dns changer off because of a vpn or something.
i have been using this app for a very long long time, i hope i can continue using this app forever but unluckily it's quite hard nowadays that rooted phones have been in some way look like not having a better fortune in the more advanced Android system. i hope i don't have to reconsider using this app in near future.
Doesn't work on Android 9.0, returns error message "patchSELinuxSeTools failed". It is granted root access. Magisk 18.
I really like the simplicity of this app yet it complex enough to configure my DNS settings on the fly.
I literally wanted a refund since i didn't see any changes at all. I asked a refund from google and they literally denied me this refund. The same day i bought it was the same day i tried to refund it. RIP 2 euros gone
Had some trouble on my Note 9, but cleared it by installing BusyBox. Way cool, nice to have a little control.
Zero frills, works as described. Setools patching doesn't work on Magisk Canary, but DNS changing works even without patching Selinux
Edit : working just fine, operator error, had private dns set on my phone, which reverted to Google Everytime.
Finally! Working for Android Pie :) Happy that the dev is back! very useful with the descriptive notification. Thank you dev :D
Works on my Android TV devices but not on my Umidigi F1, Android 9 phone.
works great, i can set my own dns and use the convenient presets as well
Can't get root prompt I'm using magisk it says supersu not installed
Easy to use and it works excellently!
The recent update fixed the issue, thanks.
Does not work with Samsung Oreo. It would work with other devices tho.
Appears to be effective & efficient.
my device is not rooted, I like this app. please help me to get this app or a refund. hope u guys update this app in the future
No longer working :( will update this review when is fixed.
from the last update, the app is not automatically override dns anymore.
it worked after new update.
Working flawlessly after the update.. Pixel 2
This is a great app which I've been using for quite some time. It only recently stopped working. I have sent emails to the developer without a response but hopefully he will make it compatible with my pixel 2 XL running 8.1 and the latest version of magisk 16.4.
Does not appear to work on Oreo (tested on a rooted Galaxy S9). The app reports that it updated DNS in its notification & log, but the servers are not actually changed (checked via Network Info 2 & PingTools). Also, does not seem to support IPv6.
Works flawlessly on OnePlus 6. Automated dns changing when switching between wifi, sim 1, sim 2 and vice versa. User can choose preset servers or specify custom dns. For OnePlus 6, must use SElinux patching method=none to work.
Great app, just works. Made my internet absolutely fly after changing my DNS to the OpenVPN protocols. Best part is the option to allow automatic override so anytime I switch networks it switches the DNS for me
Well designed app with useful features however despite status logs reporting successful DNS switching, it doesn't work on my phone running LineageOS 14.1
It was a 5-star app, up until last night. I updated to the May OTA on Pixel 2 and updated Magisk to 16.4 and it's not working anymore. PLEASE fix it ASAP! Thanks.
I've tried many but this one seems to work the best.. The only thing I don't like is that it reconnects itself sometimea...don't know why it can't just stay connected and only reconnect if I do it manually.. but I guess that's normal. Other than that I'm satisfied with this app and I believe it deserves 5 stars because it really seems to work well. I like it..
