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.

2020-06-14	Et*****	The app does close the screen when cover the proximity sensor. The app doesn't open the screen when uncover proximity. The app doesn't respect the. "Smart Lock" Android function. I have to give unlock code. No use,as all also till now. Uninstalled right away Even 2 stars is to much. It just doesn't seem to work properly on my phone Nokia 4.2 Android'10

2020-04-13	A *****	Issues on Mi Note Pro 10: sometimes fliplock works other times not (I was interested in and tried flip-lock only). Autostart for app enabled, energy control "No limits" was set too, all the "other permissions" were allowed.
