Overlays is fully translated to Hungarian (Thanks to Egyed Ferenc), Spanish, Arabic, Russian, Portuguese and is partially translated to other languages. Please contact me if you want to help and translate it to your language.

User reviews

Major bugs & feature-limitations on a Galaxy S24 Ultra OneUI 6.1 Android 14 Bug: "Long press" is broken, so settings for modules cannot be access. Most modules therefore have no accessible settings. Those with initial-config windows — like choosing an image for the Image module — require the app be uninstalled to change. Issue: GIFs do not animate in the image module. If you purchase the video module, they can't be opened.

You can't minimize a full-screen image overlay. everytime you long press & try minimize it it just closes the image instead because the minimize & close both buttons are down so when you long press & drag a full screen overlay, It closes the IMAGE instead....EVERY TIME. PLEASE FIX IT. ATLEAST MAKE AN OPTION TO DISABLE THE "CLOSE BUTTON" SO THAT ONLY MINIMIZE BUTTON STAYS THERE.

Keeps crashing on Android 14 Xiaomi HyperOS. After a crash it reverts to default settings and overlays.db file needs to be imported every time. It may be HyperOS's fault. The app doesn't recognise Google email account from which it was originally purchased (perhaps it's a matter of permissions) and to retrieve pro version it's necessary to go to Play Store/Manage apps and device/ uninstalled apps and then scroll all the way to find "overlays pro" to install the previously purchased pro version.
