Requires a subscription for real use. Free version will only freeze 5 apps, which of course is inadequate so free version is just try before you buy. "Buy" means a monthly subscription. I don't mind paying a fee to buy a good app, but I refuse to ever pay a subscription, so this app is out of the running for me. Pro but "world" developer has materials in Chinese or Japanese and broken English, so there's that. It did run OK for me. I don't have root but was able to follow the instructions.

No longer works. I use it a lot for probably a couple years now. I like it. But now, Android has started to just say the app is not responding and asks me to wait or close. I had this happen for the first time a week ago. I had to completely uninstall and reinstall and had to recreate all my shortcuts on my launcher. Super annoying. I don't want to bother reinstalling. Also, it's not as though it can't get root. Root works fine on my phone with every other app. IceBox isn't even requesting root.

Excellent. I use in parallel with app shizuku to run without root. It really freezes the apps, but it doesn't end the processes that are already running, so I need to use another app to access the Task Manager and be able to terminate the process before freezing with Ice Box. I think that's a bug of Ice Box, not sure.
