Thank you, it just works fine in my Panasonic T44 (very cheap phone). It does what it is indented to be, lock the screen with a tap. I've tried at least 10 similar apps and settled with this. Nothing comes close. Only glitch is I've to reinstall the widget, not the app, every time I switch on the phone.

I don't know why people have trouble uninstalling? I just went in and unchecked the device administrator privileges and uninstalled it. I think some people do not know what they are supposed to do to uninstall an application with admin privileges. Oh well, perhaps things just are easier for me?

It just turned off the screen. In my eyes, waste if space and should be called "turn off screen". The install instructions work as described, however. "uninstalled"!

Do not install unless u want it to never come off. Market says its uninstalled but still on my phone. Terrible app

E70%
by E####:

The app will do what it says it will do but when you go to uninstall its a pain in the you know what. Don't waste your time

Works perfectly on ver. 2.3.6 of my phone but when I updated to 4.0.4, whenever I hit that button, the screen blacks out and turns back onto lockscreen. Fix that bug and five stars will be rite away.

Sony experia arc: works like a charm. If i could say anything bad @ this point it would be that the text title isnt required.

Does exactly what it says on droid X. Five stars. Not four stars because its not customized to me lol. For u stupid people, learn to read and u can uninstall just fine.

It does exactly what it says it does. Locks the screen. End of story. Its an app that saves u a button push. Works great!

It does allow you to press the icon to power down the screen. i dont care for it because id rather hit the button. now i hate it because i cannot uninstall it.

Works really good but instead of downloading a widget - u could just lock it at the side of Ur Samsung galaxy mini LOL! So I really dont see any difference but oh well - its great!!

D70%
by D####:

It DOES work. And you CAN uninstall it, just follow the developer's directions given in the app description. I missed them too at first.

The idea of a lock screen widget could be helpful to someone. For me, I downloaded it thinking it was something else. So, when I went to uninstall it, I couldn't. So I checked it out online and saw I had to remove it as a device administrator. So I did, and when I unchecked it it never came unchecked. It just refuses to get off of my phone. Someone has to fix this, we ought to have complete control of what's on our phones. Thanks.

...either a tablet or a phone. Add the widget, push the button-like icon, see the screen locking. I had no problem on Samsung S3,Samsung J5,HTC Desire C or Vonino tablet, nor did I hear complaints from my friends who are using it.

This app sucks! It's crap. I wanted a totally new look for my lock screen. All it does is lock your screen. My power button is fine, I don't need a widget to lock my phone. On top of that, it won't uninstall. It keeps telling me to deactivate it and I did but it still says deactivate and not uninstall.

by A####:

I read the commits from those who have an LG optimus. And all have said that it won't uninstall even when the instructions were done. So to all you saying people complain about this to much. suck it, we did what it said and is still bull $*#!%. Any who have an LG optimus do not download!

by D####:

App is ok, but now not needed, I am not a h8r. It would be nice to be able to remove the app. I attempt to remove admin rights and that does not work. From what I have read its a bug between the app and the Optimus "s,t,v" So of you have one of these phones do not download app

This widget had performed perfectly on any Android devices I have, even on my Galaxy Nexus 4.0.2, until I updated the Nexus to 4.0.4. The widget still works, but after the screen going into stand-by animation, the screen popped back on again, relying on the auto-off to turn itself back off. Re-installing the widget didn't fix the bug. Had to uninstall it and use another widget/app.

Works great on Droid Razr. ICE (4.0). Yes, you have tp give program Device Administrator rights to make it work, and i expect remove the right when you want to uninstall, but it's a simple setting in Security. Saves me having to use that fussy, too-far recessed power button half the time.

D70%
by D####:

I FIGURED OUT HOW TO UNINSTALL IT. First you go to settings, then go to security. In that should be something like Security Administer. Tap that then unselect this app and then you are free to uninstall this terrible app.

This app will not let you uninstall it. It doesn't even lock your screen the icon sits there and when you touch it it turns your screen off. DO NOT INSTALL!!!

Lock screen widget works with my motorola defy. For those who cannot uninstall please don't just "read" the description... understand!

I loved this app on my HTC desire z, but on my new S3 the screen comes back on after pressing. Please fix for 5 stars.

D70%
by D####:

But it has suddenly started showing the lock screen rather than turning the screen off. Pointless. I've used this the last few years and I'm now really disappointed :(

Q70%
by Q####:

However didn't find it very useful. I found how to remove this widget that many are unable to uninstall. Guys go to Location and Security>Select Device Administrators> uncheck Lock Screen Widget here and there you go, now you can uninstall this widget successfully.

by D####:

Before you get this, think about the fact that it will be on your phone forever. It is impossible to uninstall, even when you try to follow the special directions about stopping it from being an administrator. Help please??? I did f ollowthe directions!!!!! Otherwise, the app itself works fine.

Great app! Used it for years on various Android phones. Now on my S6. Turns screen off as described. No bells and whistles, simply turns it off. Excellent!!

IT SUCKS DO NOT GET IT. IT TAKES UP HALF My space I would not give it any stars I have to.it wont get off my phone

Dont download this app It won't unstall & it hardly works

U70%
by U####:

One press of the button and the screen turns off and locks automatically. I use it literally hundreds of times per day instead of waiting for the screen to turn off or physically pressing the power button. Great app and I've had no problems with it what so ever. TO THOSE WHO SAY IT IS USELESS, READ THE NAME OF THE APP. THATS WHAT IT DOES.

N70%
by N####:

I thought this app was to put widgets on your lock screen but instead it's to lock your phone. Why? No clue because it's a simple option on the phone to lock it automatically. Why they made this app and why anyone would use this app is beyond me.

N70%
by N####:

This app SUCKS!! I don't think this is a good app. I just used this and I didn't like this. When I'm going to uninstall this application I can't uninstall these, they said that it needs to be deactivated. But now I can't deactivate these so getting annoyed with these. Now I don't like these aplication. :/

works fine before upgrading to 4.0.4. same experienced w/ others, when i hit it will shift to blank screen then onto lock screen. opted to use other lock screen app instead. nevertheless, works fine on ICS 4.0.3.

Hello! Everyone I can't believe that I figure it out how to remote this apps lock screen widget! Ha ha its been on my phone for a year now! I try so many times to get it off my phone also email the developed even just now! Guess what I figure it out myself! Look in the discriptions in Market place! Go to setting in your phone. Then location & security then select device Administrators unchecked box wallaa! Done go back to phone uninstall it. Good luck!

Y70%
by Y####:

This app cannot be uninstalled, and the oft repeated 'remove it as a device admin first' trick doesnt work either. You're stuck with this app once you download it. Further, I'm getting zero response from the developers website as of this writing. This app should be removed from the market. Its dead, Jim!

Worked perfectly on gingerbread until I upgraded to ics. Xperia S. When I lock the screen with it my screen comes back on. Awaiting update. Otherwise its brilliant. I use it on my phone and Xoom tablet
