Interesting app, but it causes this complication -- when later turn on phone by fingerprint it always asks for secondary authentication (ie, PIN, pattern, password) of whatever I have setup. In contrast, when I don't use this app and simply use the power button to turn off the screen, then turn the phone back on by fingerprint, there is no required secondary authentication.

Very practical! No complicated install, no crazy permissions asked. This is just what I needed! Except, originally I was looking for just a screen off feature without locking, since my physical phone power button is set that way because I don't need to keep phone locked all the time, but this is the best option I found, so if I have to input password again on every screen on... oh, well! This app helps to extend lifespan of physical power button since it won't get pressed as often.

EDIT: There's a bug. Sometimes after shutting off screen the lock will be disabled. I'm uninstalling. I leave the original review below for if this bug is ever fixed. --- Does one thing only and absolutely nothing else - and for that reason only takes up 0.068 MB. It turn off the screen; that's it. My phone doesn't have fingerprint scanner, so I can't say if that works or not. But for those people who complain that it's hard to uninstall I must disaggree; it's just a little complicated because of the way it has to lock into Android to work. For those that think the icon is too hard to see though; I aggree. But since I have linked the app up to one of my hardware buttons, I don't need the icon to be pretty :-) Thanks!
