Ratings and reviews

This is a fantastic simple interface and I recommend that you spend a moment trialling it. That said, with the operating system preventing the main "pull down" settings being accessed, I will not be able to prevent my elder-folk from making inadvertent changes to the system settings. For this reason, I can't go ahead.

Tested it out. 1. I noticed that there was no option to disable the 'Quick Settings panel' feature. The more options there are to disable features that seniors could accidentally modify or misuse, the better. 2. It was also annoying to hide apps one by one. It would be better to have the opposite functionality, where only the allowed apps are shown.

Purchased for family and the app didn't disappoint. It looks better than the competitors with a more polished feel and interface. I had an issue where I could use macros and the develper Vaibhav was able to help me get a working solution within 2 days. That kind of customer service is hard to find these day. Great app.
