User Reviews

The app is praised for working well on many devices and saving battery while reducing wear on hardware buttons, with customizable delay options and usefulness on faulty hardware. However, users report reliability problems over time, failures in calls and some apps, device-specific inconsistencies, and limitations when the proximity sensor hardware is damaged. Overall, it’s useful but not consistently reliable across all devices and use cases.

Pros

Works well as described and is generally reliable across multiple devices.
Helps avoid wear on hardware buttons (e.g., home button) and can save battery by managing the screen via the proximity sensor.
Broad device compatibility; reported usefulness on brands like Xiaomi, Vivo, Samsung, and OnePlus.
Offers customizable delay/timing options to fine-tune behavior.
Useful workaround for users with faulty hardware buttons (e.g., non-working home button).

Cons

Reliability issues: the app stops working after days or over time and may require reinstallation or updates.
Not reliable in critical scenarios: fails to keep the screen on during calls and in some apps (e.g., WhatsApp).
Device-specific or inconsistent performance on certain phones (e.g., Samsung M15 5G) with some reports of non-functionality.
Hardware limitations: if the proximity sensor itself is damaged, the app cannot fix the problem.
