Ratings and reviews

I've had this a couple days & so far, & I like it. It doesn't seem to use a lot of RAM or battery & stays on for the most part. It's only about 20MBs too. The only annoyance is that the toggle to move items around the notch doesn't actually move them, so you won't see whatever is under the notch. The ads can be annoying too. They popup randomly & pressing the "x" doesn't get rid of them (maybe because of gestures being enabled?), but it says they go away if you pay.

Promising but has many issues. Notification icons with color don't display properly. On my home screen (nova launcher) it just disappears after bringing down the quick settings. So many options are locked behind "premium" it's confusing as to why this is even a free app. The battery optimizations present on Samsung phones (which have to be manually disabled per app) make this disappear after exiting the app but there's no mention of this being necessary. This is just what I found in 7 minutes.

Nice app. Very functional. However, the battery bar does not work properly on a Samsung Flip 3. Upon restart and other random times it is misaligned in the offset. It takes going to the app, moving the offset slide any number plus or minus, and the bar immediately repositions itself to the correct offset. It happens randomly as well when phone is closed and opened. So I guess this app is not optimized for the Flip 3.
