## Description

**Proximity Sensor Screen Lock** lets you turn your Android display on, off, or lock it by covering the device’s proximity sensor, usually located near the top speaker. The app requires no root access and offers advanced controls for customizing how the service works.

Features include a persistent background service, automatic startup after boot or app updates, adjustable delays, optional sounds, landscape-mode restrictions, and call-specific settings. Test the sensor before enabling the service, and disable the service before uninstalling if device administration is enabled.

## Review summary

Overall, users praise the app for functioning well on many devices and for its sensor-based features, particularly during calls, and they trust the developer. However, multiple reviews report compatibility problems on several devices (e.g., OnePlus 13, Pixel 6) and outright non-functionality on others. Background operation is also a common missing feature. The experience is mixed: strong positive feedback from some users contrasted with device-specific issues that hamper reliability.

### Pros

- Generally works well on many devices with positive user sentiment across reviews.
- Sensor-based screen lock features and testing, including use during calls.
- Positive perception of the developer's reliability and trustworthiness (consistent with other apps by the dev).

### Cons

- Compatibility issues on multiple devices/OS versions (e.g., OnePlus 13 with Android OOS 16, Pixel 6).
- Frequent reports of non-functionality or not working on various devices.
- Lacks background operation support (cannot run in the background).
