About this app

AcDisplay is a new way of handling notifications in Android.
It will let you know about new notifications by showing a minimal, beautiful screen, allowing you to open them directly from the lock screen. And if you want to see what's going on, you can simply take your phone out of your pocket to view all the latest notifications, in a similarly pleasing and minimalistic manner.


Features:
- Great design and awesome performance.
- Active mode (uses the device's sensors to wake your device up when you need it.)
- The ability to use AcDisplay as lockscreen.
- Incredible level of stability.
- Inactive hours (to save some battery.)
- Enable only while charging.
- Lots of another features such as: Blacklist, Dynamic background, Low-priority notifications and much more.


This app uses the Device Administrator permission.

Ratings and reviews

Absolutely great, except for one thing. It doesn't solve the problem I was trying to solve. With the default unlock screen, I have to click an icon to get it to show me the text. What I want is the full text of the notification on the screen so that my calendar appointments appear online as a text item with a woken screen when the time is ready for them to appear. So, it failed on what I need it to do because it's a reskin of the standard launcher instead of showing that text. It's really great -- if it showed the full text of calendar notifications instead of requiring interaction with them,, which is what the default launcher requires already.

I loved this app on my old phone and even on my tablet I still do. It's intuitive, fast, sensible, looks nice and minimal, and actually prevents me from missing notifications all the time. However, this is now COMPLETELY unusable since upgrading to a phone with a fingerprint scanner. When the screen turns off after AcDisplay shows, the phone is locked in such a way that you cannot unlock the phone with your fingerprint scanner and will need to use the alternate lock you have on your phone ( i.e. pattern/pin number). For me the convenience of the fingerprint scanner outweighs the ingenuity of AcDisplay and thus I no longer use it on my phone. I still use it on my tablet though, and I miss it every time I have my phone on my desk next to me.

In an age where smartphone manufacturers are trimming down so many of my favorite features such as the LED light and where android system updates are breaking lots of useful apps, I was looking for a replacement for the Active Display feature of my original Moto X and I think I found the closest thing! This app suits my needs, namely that I can be notified of a text right away and get a quick preview that I can immediately dismiss or go to as fast as possible without being frustrated or distracted by so much unnecessary clicking. I do not use it with my fingerprint scanner on my phone or an extra security lockscreen because the ability to customize and be quick on my phone more important for me right now on this device. So I cannot attest that those features interact well. Running on Android 9, Oneplus 6.
