User Reviews

Users praise the app for an iPhone-like UI and improved home screen visuals, with strong appeal for older devices. However, there are recurring issues: the app sometimes disappears after sleep or restart and does not stay active, and landscape mode support is lacking or inconsistent. Some users also request more customization and background operation in future updates.

Pros

Apple/iPhone-like UI that many users say makes the phone feel premium
Enhances home screen aesthetics and looks better on devices, especially older ones
Good compatibility for phones with older hardware/buttons

Cons

App frequently disappears or turns off and must be reactivated after sleep, restart, or power cycle
Landscape mode support is incomplete or inconsistent (not full width, requests for proper landscape mode and dimming)

i have tried many apps like this so far among the free versions this is most promising. The deducted star is for that 1. I use it on my left hand screen where i want it to on upper left not in mid as its 100% width isn't enough to cover the screen. 2. On my gaming apps where i touch whole screen without knowingly and this app do some function to interrupt me so add a function where i can disable this app for specific apps.
