Been using it almost a year now. works great. no intrusive ads like other unlockers. I love that it restarts itself. you install once and forget. [may 2026 update] the app isn't as efficient anymore. fails to auto start when I restart the phone. Also seems to overwork the phone sometimes, causing heating & draining the battery fast. you're also going to get a hard time while setting it up for the first time, the ads are

Stupid update, NO longer AUTOSTARTS after updating NO LONGER WORKING the changes they made depleted the battery faster, they've turned this app into a crypto miner and should be reported

Definitely helps when you have a phone that simply cannot be tapped on to unlock when the power button is broken. However, it seems that some features are missing or not working properly. I can't figure out how to turn the screen off from the notifications bar, for example, so I have to either wait for a screen timeout or manually go to this app to turn it off. Apps allowing you to lock screen with the volume key actually disable your volume keys for audio, unlike this smart app!

What’s new

All problems resolved with the AutoStart feature whenever the user reboots and re-enter phone password, the app should activate successfully.

Also, start-up sound has been added only with the enabling of the 'Play App Sound' switch panel.

"To test startup-sound you must reboot your device and re-enter password then leave the phone to initialize all start-up apps. "
