User Reviews

Pros

Works as advertised and enhances the dual-screen experience on LG phones.
Allows nearly any app to be used in dual-screen mode.
Improves productivity by enabling typing on the lower screen while using the upper screen.
Useful for e-readers and apps that benefit from wide display.
Good support from the developer.

Cons

Reverts back to single screen mode when certain actions are taken within apps.
Initial setup can be tricky and requires awareness of how to engage Wide Mode.
Some apps may have awkward spacing issues or do not utilize the full dual-screen potential.
Wide Mode does not persist when navigating within apps.
Can cause display issues with home screen wallpaper.

Works as advertised. The app makes for one brilliant experience, stretching everything across both screens of an LG phone. I only wish the dev would add the capability to force apps to open in wide view. The use case for this being a word processor or livestream app. Being able to jump directly to a document with the keyboard spanning the entire lower screen is a dream come true, but this always requires multiple taps and swipes to set up.

It's hard to fully blame the app devs because I think the main issue is the dual screen was never implemented well in the first place. This is an attempted fix that isn't a real fix and has its own host of problems. The bigger shame is that lg released so many phones with the dual case but without the software to use it in a way that makes sense
