What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"Response to dev UPDATE: I figured it out. Issues is with the Arrival of the One UI 4.1 update. I only get the lockscreen feature working, pocket mode and everything else doesn't. But I can live with just the lockscreen feature over AOD. This response is after a friend of mine update to One UI 4.1."
