Well I needed this app to turn on my phone since the power button won't work the issue is it does turn on my phone but at random times it just stops and then I need go through this whole process of getting it back. I would give it 0 stars if I could but it's convenient

Definitely helps when you have a phone that simply cannot be tapped on to unlock when the power button is broken. However, it seems that some features are missing or not working properly. I can't figure out how to turn the screen off from the notifications bar, for example, so I have to either wait for a screen timeout or manually go to this app to turn it off. Apps allowing you to lock screen with the volume key actually disable your volume keys for audio, unlike this smart app!
