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.

excellent helpful power button replacement. its not working everytime and again need to do all setup for button.

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
