Ratings and reviews

My phone's power button had broken for good, and this was the only app I could find where I could reopen my phone without having to pay using the shake function. It is simple and useful, however the shake function is a bit hit or miss and doesn't always work really well. It would be good if you could also just use the volume button to open the phone, maybe through a holding action since I still want to be able to use the volume buttons normally.

Reason for 3 stars: 5 for efforts making the app, -1 for dishonest about app's information (ads present in the application while not in the playstore desc), -1 for unpolished app (the only thing that work is the power menu, while the volume still doing it's job to turn up and down volume, the turn off screen doesn't work)

it stops working automatically after a period of time and it also stops working if the phone is in sleep for more than 10 or 20 minutes
