Dharm Mankad		 Only works in portrait mode That too it seems to work but it's just a black part which phone still thinks to be a part of a working display, but what I wanted is that phone does not use that upper part for anything

Raghu Nair		 Very useful and apt for what it intends to do. It hides the top notch without eliminating notification, battery and time information from their dedicated spaces. It does so by simply applying a black adjustable strip allowing the phone to have desired symmetrical appearance. Pros: Stable and customizable. Cons: WhatsApp status, lockscreen and notification screens aren't optimised very well, so you'll continue to see those ugly notchs here and there. Will update if it gets better or worse.

Huy Pham		 I have an LG V40 with a notch and this app does an excellent job hiding the notch on all 3rd party apps. It also let's me add rounded corners so it could match the rounded corners of my phone. You could adjust and tweak the options if you need to, it should work with any Android phone that has a notch. One tiny suggestion to the developer is to add a more precise & custom percentage for the height of the notch so the user could get it perfect looking. Landscape mode is bad also and didn't work.

Samii		 Finally. Finally.. FINALLY. You guys is the best! I've tried many notch remover apps but they just don't do it all. Example: this app can have your icons seen even when they normally change black. OTHERS, you won't see ANYTHING. Like when you go into amazon app the icons will change to a black color.

Nayera		 it is a great app .. but if it can make these things it will be perfect !! 1. an option to disappear on homescreen and gallery to have full display and not hiding the content 2. an icon for it in notification panel to easily access to turn it on or off without opening the app

Malc Singer		 I had previously used Nacho Notch which was inconsistent with the apps it worked with. Android 10 all but broke it, but this works with EVERY app I use. Plus a great addition of rounding the corners. The app I previously used for this was also inconsistent, but again this works with EVERY app I use. PERFECT!!!

A Google user		 I tried many notch remover or notch hiding app but this is the best in google store. Why best because it not only removes or hide notch on main screen but even works on other apps on my phone and even we can edit the shape & size of notch which other notch hiding apps doesn't e.g. on video player, which makes the play back of video wonderful to watch without notch. Good work developers.

A Google user		 I really want to like this app, but there is one major issue with it. There is no option to change the colors of the corners/status bar, which is currently a pure black. And if you didn't know, OLED Pure Black = Burn-in! Until now, I wouldn't recommend anyone to use it, unless they want burn-in...

A Google user		 The black bar with the curves should auto-move to the right side if landscape mode is in clockwise direction. No issue when landscape mode is in anti-clockwise direction, when the notch is on the left. I hope this will be fixed.

A Google user		 excellent, but it changes the colour of my navigation bar despite turning off the option to decorate it. also, the app doesn't work on the lock screen. 5 stars if these issues are fixed. my phone is the Pocophone f1. Edit: just discovered my requests can't be done in Android 9 and in my device
