User reviews

This app has worked perfectly for all phone variations I have so I am very happy with the app The only thing I would request is that there be a widget available for simply turning it on and off Thank you very how much for making a very functional but also very minimal application For anyone having issues with the random operations of this app/phone there may be an issue with your proximity sensor for the edge of your screen is curved slightly which prevent proper operation

Very poor service.The screen starts shutting down on its own after a very short while even when not covering the proximity sensor. I even bought the premium and there seems to be no refund button like other apps have. Contacting the developer didn't change anything,as he said there is nothing he can do. Uninstallled it,useless. Develope refunded me,i'm just sorry i can't use the app.

I think it worked to solve the problem of whatsapp annoyingly switching speakers during audio messages playback and holding the phone to the ear. However, the drawback is that the phone's screen is now waken up by the proximity sensor even on lock screen, which I don't want. There should be an option to disable the app when screen is locked.
