| 2024-10-06 |  | | The power menu no longer functions after so long of use. I keep tapping the accessibility API acknowledgement in the app, but no response. 😥 |
| 2024-10-06 |  | | A tip: Just enable the "Accessibility menu" in phone settings and you'll have a permanent button at the bottom to do what this app does. And it'll never lose the Accessibility permission that MIUI does to the "Downloaded services". I had to clear the app data every time and turn off and on the Accessibility permission because that annoying MIUI bug disables it on its own after a while. |
| 2023-09-13 |  | | it was working fine before the update. after the last update, when i go to the app, it say to enable api in the settings. i enabled the api, but the app still doesn't work. still asking me to go to the accessibility to allow api. apparently, i am not the only person facing this. seen others report the same thing after the last update. please fix this, thank you developer. |
| 2023-08-19 |  | | My power switch button was damaged and so I needed to remove it. The contact pad on my phone is still working but I need to use a toothpick or something to press it so it is not practical to do that every time I need to restart my phone (which is quite often when it gets to be this old). This app has been a huge help |
| 2023-08-11 |  | | While it seems easy enough to set I am confused on how this app will work if the phone is off. Also not entirely sure if it is set up correctly as the power option appears at the menu so I no longer get the request accessibility message and it is going through my volume buttons but pressing them just switches whether or not the function is turned off or on. It doesnt actually access the power menu. Could you explain how this works? |
| 2021-10-24 |  | | My power button isn't working, so I was unable to restart the phone. It's MI so scheduling restart option is also not available. This app replaces the power button hard press with one click within the app (need to give access to Accessibility tab in settings on first use). Thanks Devs!! Didn't really expect this to work after trying a few bogus apps. P.S - Users, in excitement don't chose power off instead of restart lol |
| 2021-09-02 |  | | It does what the author says..the menus and embellishments are also for security. I like it personally and also think it's better than any of the others. This is a hardware one that powers down the system not just a screen lock so be warned if your button can't even power on..to only use the restart feature. I also appreciate that I don't have to be a superuser to make it work. You can go to your tray and drag down the eloquent power button icon to the bottom of your screen..it's intuitive |
| 2021-01-10 |  | | The app is good but I have a problem with control buttons. The app has a lot of details - which is good- but starting the controls require to use a real button in the device which is very useful. That button is the volume key. I am personally sensitive to volume i hate loud noises. And most of the videos or games i play use the maximum volume upon start. So this is what bugs me. Also the graphics are too ugly. All the apps in Google play store have good or very good graphics,except this one. |
| 2020-11-10 |  | | Does exactly what it says on the tin. I downloaded this as my power button has been broken for some time. No need for root. You need to set a slightly scary accessibility option (allow screenview and interaction with other apps) to allow it to work, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that that permission is only on for a few seconds as after a restart that option is switched off again. Nice consumer friendly design choice there. 5 stars! |
| 2020-11-10 |  | | My phone's piwer switch is damaged, and i was really looking for an alternative, all i really need is a restart button cause if i turned it off, i can not switch it back on, tried a lot of applications but this by far is working for me. Thank you dev, keep up the good work. If somehow it wont work on your phone, make sure to turn it on on your accessisibility settings. Hope this helps. |
