Ratings and reviews

Excellent app, although the free version functionality is extremely limited (only 1 touch option on the free version, which is the "single tap" option), however I purchased the full version and it is incredibly useful and very easy to edit, it's almost like adding new hardware options to your phone, it definitely adds a very useful capability to your phone and for the price to be as low as it is it's absolutely worth it. Would definitely recommend. 5/5 -Sigma🏴‍☠️™️

Worth the very reasonable cost. The flashlight activation is better than the Pixel "double tap the back of the phone" option. The app could use a good English proof-read (it kindly asks the user to consider "ratting" the app), but it functions pretty damn well. I wonder if there's a way to trigger a switch from landscape to portrait mode, rather than just switching between manual and auto-rotate options? Keep going Dev! You can do great things!

I loved the experience and execution of the whole thing. It's very smooth to begin with, and there is nothing wrong with the app. The only problem, though, is that why make a separate app that only touches the notch while the other app does the same thing but more with the notification notch (notiguy app). After paying the lifetime for this app, I was happy until a few minutes later, I discovered notiguy. An app that has custom notifications widget and TouchTheNotch, 5$ together. Refund PLS!
