Allows you to install, and then approve several permissions. But then gives you no clue as to WHERE they hide the Settings (in order to customize it). It's not 'operator error', as I've used other similar apps. Needs work, but has potential. Uninstalling, but will try again, at a later date.

UPDATED REVIEW 4⭐: Google denied my original refund request but the app developer issued it and I thank them for that. My review is being updated to 4 stars for their quick response. There are still some bugs in the app and I hope that they get resolved. Outside of those bugs, this is the best dynamic island app I've tried so far. ******** OLD REVIEW 1 ⭐: I made an in-app purchase that says it's supposed to remove ads but I still have ads AND locked out of all the settings.**********

Cool App: Its only been couple of hours since the download and l am already loving it. It has added bells and whistles to my relatively old Samsung A40. In my opinion its better than Appe dynamic island. Its genuinely a great app. You can tell a lot of time and effort went into the creation. Best of all its totally 👌 & free

Could be better if the app allowed the persistent view to be hidden behind the hole punch camera and expanded from that point instead of a literal face pill shape always on screen. Functions very well. But visually replicating the pill of ios defeats the purpose of the hole punch camera that most phones have

BEWARE CYBERSECURITY MINDED USERS: This app collects user data within the accessibility service API to upload telemetry data to the developers, but the functionality is as advertised. Should not be collecting data regarding phone calls as the data is unnecessary for bug fixes or improvements. I highly recommend Dynamic Spot by android developer Jawomo. Their app is in beta, but they don't collect unnecessary telemetry data from users and they have had less bugs compared to competitors.

Unfortunately I wasn't even able to try the app, when I already got 2 full screen ads. There's too many alternatives to this to try to be so greedy. At least let people try the app before you run them off with ads.

It works pretty well. I really didn't like how the bar persisted instead of going away once all notifications were gone. And I'm not really sure if it was my phone or a bug, but installing and running this app disabled the back function for gesture controls and interfered with swipe gestures from the bottom so I couldn't use those gestures either

Cool. Screen images and picture quality enhanced slightly yet obviously noticed and screen display uplifts some another dimension to effect. I gave the score right after 1st glimpse at the app's run. For accessibility concern, yes the app makes access to contents from home screen handier and simpler and quicker..much better than previously.

Don't install this app for following reasons 1) it's not supposed to replicate island in phone with punch-hole camera 2) poor customization options 3) bad-looking app layout and poor aesthetics 4) very ugly island with limited functionality 5) annoying notification that keeps coming (eg. When phone comes, the notification will stay atop and I can't dismiss it) I wasted my money, so I'm warning others to make the same mistake.

I am guessing all the dev time went into building ads into the app because they are everywhere. The app doesn't seem to have any functionality outised of displaying notifications and with no way to clear them it becomes unusable. After 2 days I had 150 notifications and counting and nothing seemed to clear them up. If this meant as a demo up to make you pay than it does a really poor job of it since all the other functionality is behind a pay wall from the first minute with no way to try it.
