Ratings and reviews

By far the best way for me to digest notifications without the huge and intrusive stock pop-up banners, so much so I supported w/ premium. I do have some main issues though: [1] Ticker colors are set to match notifying app, but it always uses black/white colors (Snapchat, Messenger, etc); allowing user-selected colors for specific apps would fix this issue. [2] Lack of ticker text customization. You can't modify the text font, let alone the size or spacing; only animation style is customizable.

This gets killed off by Google after some time (some sort of goofy background optimization or something like that) and I have to reboot to get it back. But when it is running right, it's worth it. There are a few quirky things in there but I'm sure Tom will tweak and adjust as he goes along but there hasn't been any updates for quite some time. Looking forward to improvements and added themes.

Great app! Although - on OP7Pro, battery bar animation works when it wants, and charging bolt only appears after restarting the phone while plugged in (using iOS status bar). Once unplugged, it won't reappear when plugged back in again. Also, when editing in Google Photos, the save button is covered by the status bar.... The status bar is preventing simple everyday use. And time in center is in Military time. Any fixes in the works?
