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

If your phone's power button is broken, don't waste any time, get this app. It's an absolute life saver. It's VERY simple and straightforward, anyone could get use out of it. Default settings work perfectly fine for me. The one "issue" I've had with it is that it doesn't exactly support fingerprint scanners. There's an option to enable such support, but I've found it doesn't actually turn off the display or lock my phone.

Works most of the time. However, I have a samsung a10e and sometimes, when the phone goes to sleep, it does not wake up by motion or angle. Instead, I need to press the power button. May be a slight glitch, but this is not a significant enough issue not download this app or uninstall. The benefit of the app is 99 percent of not having to use the button.

Giving 5 stars because this is the first of this kind of apps which basically does what it is supposed to without totally draining the battery. The only annoying thing is that on my ZTE Zmax it seems to interfere with the screen time out and the screen does not go out at all most of the time if in screen upward position. Works well on the newer Motorola ,e5+ Does not work on Samsung galaxy A32 Lowering ther rating to 3 stars apparently ot works on some phones and not on others. Does not work on Alcatel Avalon ether.
