User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's functionality in turning off the screen via notification and its user-friendly interface. It is especially useful for those with broken power buttons. However, multiple users report the app breaks or stops working after updates. A common complaint is that fingerprint unlock is often replaced by pattern unlock due to security policies, causing inconvenience. Several users mention difficulties uninstalling or deactivating the app and lack of developer support. Compatibility issues with fingerprint functionality are also noted.

Cons

App stops working after updates for multiple users
Fingerprint unlock often replaced by pattern unlock due to security policy, causing inconvenience
Difficult or impossible to uninstall or deactivate the app on some devices

Poor developer support for issues
