Review summary

Screen Off and Lock is praised for effectively replacing the physical power button, being simple, reliable, and customizable with enjoyable animations. However, multiple users report significant issues with fingerprint unlocking and biometric authentication after locking the screen, alongside compatibility problems with newer Android versions and devices. The app appears to be outdated with occasional disruptive notifications, and some users face bugs like delayed locking and system lag. Overall, it remains a valuable tool for those needing power button alternatives but requires updates to address biometric and modern OS compatibility.

2022-12-09	Ji*****	Originally installed because my old phone had a tricky power key. Now use it for convenience and because I enjoy the animations. I've upgraded my review and number of stars. Old rating/review was negative because previous update required permission to access my device ID and call information (just to close the screen? Uh, no) - at a time when Android did not include line-item permission controls. Developers have removed that intrusive and unnecessary demand, so I'm back using it again.

I'm using a galaxy s8, switching it on with the home button and off with either this app's widget or the notification. Didnt have any issues yet. The only thing that comes to mind is those 2-3 times when the notifications button dissapeared so I had to reselect it at the options (in a span of 6 months). Anyway thanks ✌
