## Review summary

Notification Dots is praised for replacing the native notification panel with customizable and accessible notification management, ideal for large and foldable devices. Users appreciate its ease of use and organizational features. However, recurring issues include overlay pop-ups failing on Xiaomi phones, fixed top-screen positioning limiting one-handed use, inability to reply directly through dots, and the app's aggressive background persistence. Despite minor functional complaints, users remain largely positive about its utility and request continued development and enhancements.

### Pros

- Provides an excellent replacement for the native notification panel, improving accessibility especially for large smartphones.
- Highly customizable notification dots and pop-ups improve notification management and organization.
- Easy to set up and very useful for managing notifications with one hand.
- Compatible with foldable devices like the Z Fold 6, enhancing usability.
- Favored by users for its utility, with multiple users expressing strong appreciation and ongoing support for development.

### Cons

- Overlay/pop-up features frequently stop working on Xiaomi devices despite permissions being granted, causing inconvenience.
- Notification dots are fixed at the top of the screen, making them difficult to reach on large smartphones; users request customizable positioning.
- No way to reply directly from notification dots for apps like Discord, limiting functionality.
- App aggressively respawns when force-stopped, lacking an easy way to fully stop it leading to user frustration.
- Some users experience the app not showing any notifications even after permissions are granted.
