About this app

It turns automatically the screen off when you put your phone into your pocket or onto a table. And turns the screen on when you take it out or up. No need to touch any button and you are ready to go. It's especially helpful if your lock key is hard to reach or the power button is broken.

BATTERY USAGE

It should be not significant. I experienced about 6 per cent extra consumption on the test device. However it can be much higher by often using the Rise to Wake feature. Thus, keep your phone face down if you want to save energy.


UNINSTALL

Please, use the Uninstall button in the app. Due to Android restriction the app cannot be uninstalled on a normal way.

Ratings and reviews

This app is a life saver!! And it works really well, has many options. I only wish it also had the option to program either of the volume keys as a power button (if that's possible). I have just now installed it so I'm concerned if it will drain the battery faster... I'll install some sort of battery alarm just in case, because my power button is broken, so is the volume + button, and the fingerprint scanner stopped working somehow. Thus far this app looks like a miracle, thank you so much.

Excellent app! It really works as great as it says! I would just suggest the timeout feature to be available when the device is locked as well (like unlocked/locked/both). It is not useful for me when the device is unlocked, because the system already has its screen timeout and I might leave the cellphone on the table to see it. However, when locked, lying down the device means it can now turn the screen off (after shaking it to see the clock, for example).

Stupid app. It masters on screen time out settings and fixes it on 10 minutes and doesn't let me to change it from 10 to 1 minute which leads wasting battery charge. In spite of modifying its own setup or the mobile's setup, nothing changes and still keeps the screen for 10 minutes!
