Review summary

Users praise 'Lock Screen, Button Shortcuts' for its simplicity, no ads, security by avoiding device admin permissions, and useful shortcuts like power menu access. It effectively replaces hardware power buttons and has a small footprint. However, multiple users report issues with accessibility toggles not persisting on Android 14, unclear app instructions, occasional inconsistent functionality on certain devices, frequent permission prompts, and suggestions for improving the app icon. Overall, it's considered a reliable and powerful app but could benefit from clearer documentation and some technical fixes.

Pros

Simple and minimalistic design with no ads, providing an easy and clean user experience.
Works well as a lock screen and power button shortcut, effectively replacing hardware buttons.
Does not require device admin permissions unlike other similar apps, enhancing security and ease of use.
Provides additional useful shortcuts like power menu and volume control.
Small app size with no unnecessary permissions, making it lightweight and privacy-friendly.

Cons

Issues with accessibility features on Android 14 where accessibility toggles do not persist, requiring manual reset every time.
Lack of clear instructions or descriptions on app functionality, leading to user confusion about how to use the app.
Some devices experience inconsistent functionality, working only half the time or with occasional glitches.
Frequent requests for service permissions that can be annoying to users.
Icon design could be improved to better represent its function, as some users find it unclear.

2023-11-07	Ma*****	Accessibility doesn't stick on Android 14. Accessibility says it's ON but it's not. I have to switch it off then on again every time I try to use the app to access the power menu. Works great on my other phone with Android 13. Oh, before you ask, it's excluded from any task stoppers or app optimizers.

2023-08-11	J *****	Works great on my Pixel 6! Unlike other apps I've tried, it doesn't bypass fingerprint and require PIN to access the phone. Also doesn't require Device Admin permissions. Excellent job!

2022-10-22	Ja*****	Best one in its category 👍. No unnecessary permission. Small size. Supports fingerprint unlock unlike some obsolete apps which lock using device admin permission and require manual password input to unlock. Provides additional shortcuts for power menu and volume control. Icon can be improved from a lock icon to a round silver or white colored power button.

2022-03-16	Ni*****	The description leaves the function of the app unclear. Having tried the app (on an Android 12 phone) seemingly the app does the following. It provides a shortcut - in the form of the app's icon - to lock the phone by displaying a totally blank screen that can be exited only pressing the hardware lock button, pressing that button again, and then unlocking as usual.
