Great, simple app that focuses on doing one thing well: turn off the screen when the phone is covered. Solved the problem of ghost touches/pocket dialing on my zenfone8 with lineageos rom. Plus it has a clean UI without any annoying ads. I highly recommend it!

I was so happy when I found this. It has only failed to work for me once in the last few days. A welcome improvement to the lack of a pocket mode on my Pixel 7 Pro with android 13.

Works fine on Android 12, but Android 13 seems to kill it at it's earliest convenience regardless of disabled battery optimization. I'm sure this is just another case of Google moving the goalpost on what app developers are allowed to do or how to do it.

Update found the settings. Will see how this works..... Doesn't work on my Pixel 5a. Slider switch to turn on is greyed out. Can't see where it is telling me if I need to change some app settings to get it to work.

Life changing! My Pixel 3a has in the last couple of weeks been unlocking in my pocket. Pocket dialling and random setting changes were becoming the norm. The last straw was when my banking app got reset in my pocket and now I'm locked out of my account for a few days until I get a new login through the post. Since installing the app, not once has my phone unlocked in my pocket. This is the solution guys!!!!

A lifesaver literally. I updated my OnePlus 5 to an Android 12 custom rom which did not have a built-in pocket mode. And I was sick of getting random options turned on/off in my pocket. Thank you to the dev for the great app!

Lifesaver, i kept having my flashlight turn on in my pocket draining my battery, but this works exactly as described. I just wish a log was kept, to allow me to check how often it triggered, or to diagnose any potential false positives (not that they've occured!)

If you set up that share data on off it will be 5 of 5 :D thank you anyway i mean big thanks to you i was looking for this for some time. It is a must have on custom roms. One thing to work on app is a bit slow in phone calls idk why it takes a 2-3 sec to turn on screen i call.

Incosistent and doesnt work on phone calls in my Poco f3. It takes time before it realizes it's out of my pocket. Maybe because Poco F3 has ultrasound proximity sensor.

Very good app. I think there is no need to disable pocket mode during calls. If a call came when the mobile is in pocket and pocket mode is disabled there is high chance to accept or recject the call by accidentally, especially when using bluetooth I was faced lot of issues like bluetooth off, airplain mode On, torch on etc. So I denied telephone permission and working as expected.
