Ratings and reviews

In the past I've been use to a phone with an actual wake/ home button at the bottom of the scree and I was disappointed when this new Samsung phone didn't have one. I ask EE if I could change it but apparently they are all like this now, a wake button on the side and with the folding case was always difficult to find and press. I try a few apps to wake phones, finger print recognition etc but never had much luck. This one is so simple and reliable. Thank you for your invention. Charles Tibbetts

I would pay for this. I bought a new case for my Note8, and it doesn't automatically turn off the phone when I close it. I'm so used to being able to just slap the cover shut and have the phone turn off, it's really been tripping me up. This app worked like a charm, instantly! Thank you!

I was hoping this app would do 2 things - turn off my screen when I close my flip cover and turn my screen on when I open the flip cover. I guess my expectations were unrealistically high. A message to developer about this went unanswered. Sigh ... Guess I am looking for another flip cover app.
