It's ok, but needs work. I am going to uninstall it. It needs an option to pay for no ads. I gave administrative permissions to it many times, and kept it enabled indefinitely. It disables itself consistently though and require watching full sceen ads to enable again. Enabled lasts about a day. There's no escaping the ads though, even if the creator wanted a 'free always' app. Need a pro version available. I like this app, but it gets on my nerves plenty. Edited

Very handy. I use this to save my power button. I do wish it let you turn lift to wake on or off by tapping notification. But before I was manually going to phone settings to turn on and off lift to wake, so adding this apps icon to the home screen I can turn on and off quicker. As said wish could pause and resume by notification and also wish enabling/disabling load time was quicker. Soon getting paid version to fix this. Great app, thanks devs! Edited

I tried to edit my review but couldn't. Love the app and the no-nonsense user interface. The one big bummer I've discovered is this app will not turn the screen back on if the phone's screen initially turned off from natural timeout. The app only works if I manually turn off the screen first via the power button. Can this be addressed in a future update? Lovely app all things considered! Edited

worked inconsistently. thanks for trying. When i would pick the phone up, the screen would not show most of the time. I tried to use higher sensitivity. Also, it doesn't seem that the phone understands the difference between horizontal and vertical states; it is just looking for a change in state. It did work once, but it worked when I set the phone down, not when I picked it up. Ideally, it would work just like the iPhone does, the screen showing when i lifted the phone from my pocket without having to press any buttons. Edited

Well ideally if it works correctly on my phone I'd be all for it. But Everytime I press the turn off screen it pops back on within two to 3 seconds with out being lifted. I tested to see if the phone maybe on an unleveled platform, if maybe as I placed the phone down effected it, but lastly I had the phone flat on the sturdiest table and pressed the button to turn of screen very lightly and it always turned back on , I changed the settings of sensitivity and same. What am I doing wrong ?
