Screen Off and Lock (Donate) for Android
Used this on KitKat and it was awesome. Upgraded to Lollipop and although it works fine, it unfortunately doesn't honour the SmartLock settings, so it always locks. Hopefully this can be resolved with an update as its a real shame!
Forces you to enter pin when using fingerprint unlock after using this app. Other than that, it's always worked beautifully. Have to uninstall for now, though. App appears to be abandoned, so no fix, no stars.
Doesn't support Nexus imprint. Just plain worked fine on Xperia Z3c like I wanted. Plenty of handy ways to access the off command as well, thanks.
Been using vivo with its own lock app, so im used to lock the screen without pressing the power button. This app really saved me time!
Apparently since the latest marshmallow update (April 2016) 3rd party apps that lock the screen won't allow fingerprint unlock the next time. Not this apps fault of course but there's a workaround... Can we have an update please?!
Used to work well. With Marshmallow it interferes with knock on feature on my LG G3.
When I lock with the app, I can't seem to use the finger print sensor to unlock. It challenges me to pattern unlock every time. Please help. TQ
I've had this app on my phone for roughly 4 years now and have never experienced any problems. I like that I can keep my homescreen clear with a small ghost icon in the corner I can use so I don't have to mash down on the button.
Whenever I turn off screen using Screen Off and Lock after I am not able to unlock phone using fingerprint sensor. Please fix this issue.
I even donated just to say thanks. If you pair this with a Swipe app, you can Swipe to turn off phone, along with other gestures. If you have never tried a gesture app, do yourself a flavor.
While this app does work as advertised, providing a one touch screen off feature, it has does have a flaw. Ever since I installed this app, I was getting my pattern unlock prompt even when I was at one of my saved locations. There is something in this app that is interfering with the Google Smart Lock feature. As soon as I uninstalled this app, I was no longer getting the pattern unlock prompt at my saved locations. I really like this app, but had to uninstall, as I like my Smart Lock feature more.
It'd be nice to have the ability to power off the screen, but not lock it. This would be helpful for custom launchers that do nit support some phones built in double tap on/off feature.
I'm having the same issue that Jay Leung described. I've used this app for several years and it does what it says. I just recently got a Nexus 6P and I use the figure lock. Now when I use the app I have to key in my pass phase after my finger swipe. If I use the power button on the phone I don't have to key in the pass phrase with my finger unless the phone has been power cycled.
No updates for more then a year now. If you lock with this, the smart lock will not work on lollipop. For example face unlock doesn't get triggered when waking up the device.
I used to use the swipe-up to lock, but in Marshmallow it is gone. Is there some replacement possible?
After the lastest Samsung update and I found that I can't unlock the device with fingerprint if the device is locked by your app, so will you update to support it? Thanks.
Great all, use it all the time. One main problem, my device is not fully supported. I can only turn off the screen and can't use any of the fancy effects.
Perfect app but phone just did a security update so now if you lock the phone with this app you cannot unlock the phone with your fingerprint. HELP
The floating Screen Off Button doesn't work in my Sony Xperia Z3 with Android 5.1 (Lollipop). I have observed that there hasn't been any update since January 2014. Please provide up to date version. Thanks.
Good App. Worth the donation, but I found another app that can switch on + off, sorry.
Forces to use PIN to unlock phone rather than fingerprint read on my Sony Z5 (Android 6.0). Possibly because of new google API. Needs to be fixed. It was great app.
Nice for G4 user that want to abandon the stock launcher... However one thing annoys me... Using it always locks the screen, so smart lock is ignored. Anyway you can offer an option for that?
It's been ages I used to have this app because I love it so much, but since the update to lollipop, this app seems to have problem with it, example the tone of on and off button, it's just disappeared, I uninstall and install again and again, still the same problem. Please Mr.Developer, fix this problem, I love this app so much. Thank you.
.. i will be very happy when u put Nexus Imprint and knock to unlock feature..thanks
So well in fact, I forget that it is not baked into the OS.
After updating to Android 6.0.1, it doesn't not allow fingerprints to unlock the device. Please fix.
After update to Android 5.1.1 the lock and unlock sounds are not working anymore, also the vibration has issues because sometimes doesn't work. Please fix it. I donated to the app.
After recent update G930FXXU1APD1 for SAM S7, app doesn't work! ...and i have pay licence!!!
Not compatible with Nexus Imprint. Every time I lock the device, it asks for pattern/PIN, can't unlock it with fingerprint. Please fix!
It is very useful app but unstable. I activate the floating button, and it disappears as soon as I close the app in the background. My phone is LG G3. Any solution?
I have been using this app for years, I love it! The only thing is, is it continues to force stop when I use the floating option.
About 30 seconds after unlocking screen, it reports it has stopped. However, app still works.
Make life easy it really work smooth as silk no issue thank you Dev I really appreciate keep up the good work thank you very much.
On both my devices, as a widget and through Nova gestures, this app works flawlessly. Well done, thank you, happy to donate!
Seamless on Galaxy tab 4. And an amazing array of options. Very nice
The app itself works well, but even with the delayed lock box checked, it still requires to be unlocked after using this app.
I've been using this app since day one never had problems.
I like being able to spare hardware buttons as much as possible. This little app closes the screen well and in style. The developer is good to correct any problems as they arise. (corrective note: I noticed no communication from the developer for some time . . I hope he is still involved with this fine product. I know of at least one issue that needs addressed with Lollipop's Smart Lock feature.)
I am amazed that this app only reliably works if is able to conect over and over on internet if it was purchassed. It makes it all nonsense, becouse I can not use it on daily bases even I purchassed it. Just becouse I do not ise data, only wifi...

Hi I just bought the paid version. Received an update for s7 edge and now when unlocking the device it uses fingerprint plus the pin unlock. I checked and since this app is in the device administrators the phone behaves so. After I deactivate from administrator only finger print unlock works fine. Can you please get this resolved
