05 / QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about compatibility, permissions, and features.

Is the app free? Does it contain ads?
Yes, 100% free and open-source. There are zero advertisements, zero in-app purchases, and no premium locks. Every single mob is unlocked right away.
Is it safe to install this APK? What permissions does it require?
Completely safe. The app requests zero sensitive permissions. In fact, we deliberately removed the internet permission from AndroidManifest.xml, meaning the app literally cannot connect to the internet or send data anywhere.
Which Android versions and launchers are supported?
Any Android device running Android 8.0 (Oreo) or newer. It works on Pixel Launcher, Samsung One UI, Nova Launcher, Lawnchair, Xiaomi MIUI/HyperOS, and all standard Android launcher environments.
Why isn't my widget animating or updating?
Some aggressive manufacturer power-saving profiles (like Extreme Battery Saver) suspend widget animations to conserve milliwatts. Adding the app to your phone's "Never sleep" or "Unrestricted battery" list ensures immediate and smooth frame playback.
Can I suggest new mobs, animations, or sounds?
Absolutely! Join our Discord or open an issue on the GitHub repository. Community members frequently suggest new mobs and help source authentic pixel sprites.
Is there an iOS or iPhone version?
No. iOS does not support continuous looping frame animations in WidgetKit in the manner Android AppWidgets do, nor does Apple allow sideloading outside specific regional requirements.
