Review summary

Users find this app simple, effective, and ad-free for instantly locking or turning off the screen, serving as a lightweight alternative to built-in features. However, multiple reviews mention issues with fingerprint unlocking on Android Nougat and newer versions, persistent notification icons that can't be hidden, lack of configurable lock delay, and some device compatibility problems related to device administration policies.

Pros

Simple and easy to use with minimal setup.
Does the job effectively by instantly locking or turning off the screen.
No ads and requires zero special permissions.
Small app size compared to many other similar apps.
Provides a useful alternative to built-in screen off functions.

Cons

Does not support fingerprint unlock on Android Nougat and above, requiring password/pattern after locking.
Notification icon is always present and cannot be hidden, which annoys some users.
App instantly locks the device without a configurable delay option.
Some compatibility issues on certain devices like inability to unlock or navigate without pattern due to device administration requirements.
Relatively large install size compared to very lightweight alternatives.

2019-01-28	A *****	Works as advertised, but 4 stars only because ScreenLock would be more appropriate app name. I use 10 minutes delay for auto screen lock, and this app instantly locks device. Now, I don't say it is not useful - it is, as a matter of fact, as now I can have both ways as need arise, but there is no way to configure this behavior, because, well, it instantly locks. Also, I have a strange feeling it will be ad powered, and my phone already supports double tap gesture for screen off with delayed off.

2017-10-30	A *****	Perfect ! Please add option to turn off from notification (it's easier too for most users rather than hunting through screens to find widget). Hi, I'm terribly sorry, there is this option but I disabled on first install and forgot it. The problem is that the notification takes space in precious status bar. What's really needed is an option to set it as low priority, do it does not appear in status bar but can be found and pressed in notification tray. Thank you !

2017-06-02	A *****	Does the job and I like how simple it is. But it does not recognise trusted places or devices. Every time I turn off the screen, I need to re-enter the password/pattern, which is a bit annoying.

2017-04-21	A *****	It's very fast and great. It seems like a system lock icon. But pressing the app notification bar while the device is still lock does not lock the device at all. Instead it leads to device password screen.
