GO Extender

Great app. does a great job turning screen off when phone in pocket can also put a finger of thumb over the proximity sensor when out for a run to keep screen off. However, I have recently reset my phone and reloaded this app and now POGO acts differently. the Audio Focus (POGO stopping music when loaded) was not a problem with Go Extender turning the screen black, however now it lets POGO audio focus again stopping my music whenit turns the screen back on after blacking it out (if you get what I am saying). I have been playing with setting a for a day now. to sort. very odd. BUT GREAT APP ANYWAY!

Have a few issues: gyroscope regularly is off, having me to figure out how to hold the phone to unblock the screen. And screen blackout also happens when Pokémon isn't the foreground app. Added feature would be nice as well: Black & white overlay to save battery on OLED screens / toggle screen using key combo, power+volup for example

Yukanol Fukov, your review is priceless.

Don't forget to toggle the toggle he recommends you toggle (about some phone's GPS/screen settings making the screen blink) or else you'll be giving a bad review like some of these other clowns who don't read.

Using the proximity sensor to turn the screen off and on is brilliant, and saves a substantial amount of battery while the phone is face down, or in your pocket, or closed in a flip cover case. My suggestions are to have an option to delay turning off the screen in case you just accidentally swipe your hand over the proximity sensor, and to allow the screen to be fully turned off instead of simply dimmed when the device is oriented downwards - for those devices without a proximity sensor.

Another 5 star would be given plus i will buy both app if you can creat a fake gyro for the PoGo so people can use their camera while playing even if their phone dont have this sensors. This is a kick ass app!

App needs too much security. Why do I need to give it accessibility rights? And when I went to do that, my phone warned me that was going to change my encryption and could possibly be a security risk. Um... No. That is too much risk for an app that is only supposed to blank my screen while in my pocket.

Love this app. Only issue I have is sometimes I accidentally lock the screen, and once I unlock it I find that the screen timeout (which I have set for fifteen seconds) starts happening again. I have to restart Pokemon go in order for the go extender to start taking precedence over the screen timeout.

Frequently bugs out and forgets which way is up and down so it turns the screen off when I'm in the middle of a throw and won't turn back on until it "remembers" the correct orientation.

Must have been my phone bugging out, just reset my phone and the app stopped flickering. Love the app.

Activated app. Put the phone in my pocket and the app did nothing to keep the phone from registering unwanted presses.

I used to have a Sony M2 Aqua and it did everything right, now I changed to a better phone, but it is a Xiaomi and the sensor doesn't seem to function with this app.

It is very simple, yet it is something the developers of the game simply had not the mind to do. I consider this app essential for a enjoyable experince in Pokemon Go. Haven't been using it for much time, but so far, no security issues, no bugs, works just as it should. I recommend it.

I get very drunk of vodka sometime. This app make sure phone screen lock so no of catch pokemon while drunk of vodka.

I'm not sure how much it'll save me battery but at least the screen turns off when the device is upside down. It's good to have this app because my phone doesn't have a gyroscope so I can't use the in-game Battery Saver.

It only affect pokémon go app. It does what it says on the tin. The proximity sensor it very responsive, or maybe too responsive. My screen somtimes blink due to my finger passing over the sensor. Other than that, no other problems.

Simple and extremely useful. Without this app, you can't put a running Polemon Go session into your pocket without false screen presses messing with the game. This app turns the screen black and effectively disables screen presses with the phone is upside down. Well worth the $1.49

It's an awesome app for people who has a weak battery and no gyroscope like my Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime I've been looking for this everywhere.

You should know that the free version will entirely cover your needs. It is working without a single flaw! Works very well with Samsung Edge 7 + Samsung Clear View case. Now when I look at my phone there is always something, it saves screen power usage, and you no more waste walking sessions by missing km towards egg hatching. ALSO, @dferreira is a very kind developer who does not hide crucial options behind a buy button. For all that, I buy because I want to support developers like him/her.

Best app of its kind. But proximity sensor needs option to only kill screen backlight when device is upsidedown.

App does exactly what it claims. Helps a lot. No more finishing a walk only to find the game had gone out of foreground in my pocket. Many thanks to the dev!

I use this to prevent my phone idling to sleep but some of the 'power saving' features are already included in the pokemon go power save feature in the options menu.

Thanx for "turn screen off on proximity sensor" option. Save me from pocket actions of my touchscreen

A nova atualização diz que podemos utilizar a bússola e o acelerómetro para utilizar o AR, mas não sei como utilizar...

This is everything that should be in the official game. I hope Niantic buys the software from you to incorporate it for everyone and you make a mint.

This is perfect! Really saves a lot of battery juice. Specially with devices with AMOLED screens.

Very unstable with low light environments

Best power saver+egg hatcher while conserving battery power. No complains from me.

Sweet. Nice going dude. I cant believe niantic couldnt do this. Much love bro. Much love.

When the overlay is triggered, the screen flashes rather than going dark.

Nice interface with plenty of simple options to save power and prevent undesirable screen presses.

It really works! and battery saving is considerable so makes it a great app 1 star less for the inclination angle stuff

No complaints thus far. Good job dev!

very reliable and stable. Keep up the good work. :)

Does exactly what it says and does it well

Works as advertised. You could also use this app to apply PoGo's power saver methods in simple OS UI interactions.

An app is obscuring a permission request

Disables touch screen buttons as well. Nice work!

Best battery saver tool for phones without gyroscope. Worth it!

I've been looking for alternative ways to make battery saver work without horoscope.
