Looks cool but the unlock doesnt. work. As a core function, that makes it pretty much useless. I will be happy to try an update. Using an LG G3.

When I swipe to unlock the device - to the right, it does nothing but return to the lock screen. I have to swipe to the left to the notification to unlock the device. Why?

It just turn on the screen at the interval you select when there's a notification. It won't turn the screen on when you pick it up or take it out of pocket. And that's the killer feature of active display on moto x.

I've owned a moto x and pocket mode was the best feature on it for me. I've now got an s4 and being able to replecate that feature exactly is great. Works brilliantly especially with my phone face up whilst I'm at work with dirty hands I can check the time and see missed notifications without touching my phone

If you dismiss a notification the screen stays on the lock screen setup. Yet I haven't activated it to act as a lock screen. Pretty irritating considering it works perfectly on OmniRom

Isn't the purpose of this app to have the notification come up on the screen while it's locked? All I get it the led light then I have to press either the power or home button to show the display screen. Doesn't that kind of kill the purpose of having the app?

The app is great but I don't have it set as lock screen but when I unlock my phone it will either open up the app or go to the apps lock screen.

Pretty buggy. The concept is nice but lock screen is usually late on updating the time, dragging the top notification bar while in lock mode seems like a weird option. If it were a little more stable and less choppy I'd probably use it.

Really enjoying this app, beautiful design. One issue I'm having is that the active display screen turns on when I manually turn off my screen using the lock button.

I really like the app, and it drains a lot less battery, almost no battery, when compared to other active display apps. However, I think you should add an option to preview the display, and also add options to customize the look and feel of the notification screen. Other than that, its a great app!

So before I was having issues getting the app to work, but now it works and its almost 100% except I can't actually use the unlock circle. Jumping to a notification works but when I swipe over the unlock circle nothing happens. Other than that, pretty cool app. Battery drain is pretty bad though. Also, even after I turn it off it still pops up.

Allows me to see notifications during work and only respond or take action to the ones I care about.
