Castro Castro | Castro Premium This month, Castro received a new “Nomad” update that adds search across all information and fixes many bugs in the app’s functionality and design. Search At the moment, the application already has a lot of information about all aspects of the application and it can be quite difficult to find what you need. That is why a search bar was added to the main screen of the app, which allows you to find any information from any module (except for “Sensors” and “Codecs”) and immediately go to the screen with this information.

Skit Skit | Skit Premium The first big update for Skit, numbered 2.2, is here and the main change is the new “Apps usage” tool. I think some of you sometimes wondered how much time you spend in this or that application, how much Internet it consumes, and so on. This is where the new tool will help you. In addition, several interface improvements were made, namely: a new design of the “Themes” window and the “Jungle” theme was replaced with “Retro”.

Skit Earlier this year, there was a huge update for Skit - 2.0 “Odin”. It came out big and brought a lot of changes for users. But as it turned out a little later, these changes also introduced minor problems, namely performance problems and problems with people understanding of “.apks” files and “App Bundle” apps. These are the issues that I decided to focus on in update 2.1 “Frigg”. Performance I slightly reworked the mechanism for loading applications and saving their icons to the memory cache.
