Review summary

Users find KeyEvent Display a highly useful and reliable tool for detecting key codes, especially valuable for developers and hardware testing. It is appreciated for its ad-free and straightforward approach. However, some users note missing features like displaying key names, limited support for certain hardware buttons, and customization options such as font size adjustments. The app lacks help documentation and reset functionality, causing issues for some. Overall, it effectively saves time and simplifies key event detection.

Pros

Helps users identify key codes easily, saving significant debugging time
No advertisements or data mining, providing a clean user experience
Useful utility for developers and hardware testers
Performs its intended function perfectly and reliably
Simple and effective interface with straightforward functionality

Cons

Lacks the display of key names alongside key codes
Inability to detect certain keys like home and menu on newer Android versions (e.g., Nougat)
No option to change font size for better readability
No help documentation or reset options leading to user confusion when app doesn't respond
Feature requests for floating display and support for additional input (mouse buttons and scroll) not yet implemented

2019-08-24	A *****	As a developer, this app is indeed very useful to me. But, the ability to change font size should be included. Also, it displays only the key codes, without the names. It would have been better if the key names could be displayed.
