## Review summary

Reviews show that Automaton Locker-Smarter Lock can effectively automate screen on/off using the proximity sensor and works well on several devices with boot-time auto-start and rich customization. However, many users report stability problems (crashes, apps stopping, failing to resume), and the wealth of options can be overwhelming for newcomers. Others note inconsistent proximity/Smart Lock behavior and issues with ignore lists, plus calibration challenges for sensors. Overall, it is a powerful, feature-rich tool that performs well on some devices but can be finicky and risky to configure on others.

### Pros

- Proximity sensor-based auto lock/unlock works well and reliably on many devices.
- Auto-start on boot and background operation with minimal battery impact.
- Highly configurable with many options to adjust sensors, thresholds, and behavior.
- Good cross-device performance with positive feedback from several users.
- Generally fast and smooth operation after setup.

### Cons

- Stability and reliability issues: app can crash, stop functioning, or fail to resume (especially after weeks of use).
- Settings are very extensive and can be overwhelming for newcomers, risking misconfiguration or getting locked out.
- Inconsistent interaction with Android Smart Lock and ignore lists (proximity not respected in some cases).
- Calibration/sensor limitations: magnetometer calibration is hard and some sensors are not well supported, leading to device-specific quirks.
