| 2024-07-06 |  | | 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 |
| 2024-03-21 |  | | 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. |
| 2023-10-31 |  | | 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. |
| 2023-10-07 |  | | Works well as expected unlike other similar apps. Though it delays working immediately after activation, but surely starts working after a few minutes of Turning On the service. And more importantly, the service timing matters a lot. I had to set mine to 23hrs.59secs to keep it ALWAYS ON on my device. Not a power consuming app, keeps ur screen on while playing voice notes and this is one more reason why I recommend it to anyone the Test works well on his/her phone like mine. |
| 2023-06-20 |  | | I found out this app could help bypass a faulty proximity sensor by keeping the screen on during call. However, it'll be nice if there's an option to assign the proximity sensor task before enabling the service. I had to force reboot my phone because the screen went black after enabling the app. Besides that, the app is helpful. |
| 2023-05-24 |  | | I'm not sure what's in the paid version but e basically what the free version does is to set your preferred action on how your screen behaves when you hand passes over the sensor. Not useful for those trying to disable sensor while listening to voice messages or having phone calls in both screen on and off states. |
| 2022-08-17 |  | | OK when it works! Then all of a sudden it just stops. Once you go back into the app and straight our again, it starts working again. All permissions granted, auto start etc, and battery optimised properly but keeps doing it. This of course means the battery drains much quicker because it's stopped working. If no solution found then it's pointless! |
| 2022-07-02 |  | | You kill two birds with one stone the test feature shows you if the sensor is faulty or not so you can narrow down problems. It's also incredibly easy to use took me less then a minute to fix my problem |
| 2022-04-05 |  | | I am using the free version that it works very well with Android 9 os. It keeps the screen on or off during calls. Has a test to make sure your proximity sensor and your device works. Love it. |
| 2022-03-20 |  | | Yes it is perfect my screen goes off when I lay the phone face down. The only thing I don't like about it is that the proximity sensor is super easy to trip if you could make it so it wouldn't trip the proximity sensor so easily it would be perfect. |
