Horrid icon! Welcome to the material design age... Many apps follow material, but this don't. Cmon please fix it. CM spen detector has material design, and its your app. Also add draw over other apps.

This is an awesome app so i bought the paid version. Only issue is that on my new note 7 it doesn't always work. Actually hardly ever without going in app and turning off then back on. Would be 5 stars of worked all the time.

This app was wonderful for the Note 4, but it clears itself out and goes back to stock sounds until I disable and re-enable it on the Note 7. Please get this working properly!

Worked right out of the box on my rooted Note 4. Used it one time and knew I had to support this dev. Exactly what I was wanting this thing to do. Without any "fluff" to weigh it down. Was able to add some "adult" sound bytes for my insertion and extraction sounds. Let the hilarity ensue! My highest rating yet @ 9.5 out of 10 "Balloon Knots"! Sphincter!

To the person who is " so not happy" .....what did you think you were getting?? This is specifically tagged in description for non sammy UI/roms. That'd be its point sweetheart , it's not a fluffy coloring book its a tool for actual functionality on android not originally equipped for it. I mean I get it, I know it's not an every person thing to understand/know but in gen. Folks...do not just DL stuff , you have gotta reeeaad. Any who!! This is fantastic if you take time to know what it is. + paid ✔

I love this app and have used it for a while now. The only thing that doesn't seem to work is the icon theme option? I've downloaded many icon packs and was wondering if I needed root? I've got a old version touch wiz so it probably isn't compatible but any advice would be appreciated thanks x

Does what it says however to get a 5 star and excellent review it needs to override muted volumes. If it had that it would be 8 stars. I tried the paid version to try to unlock it and there is no option to do this that I can find to make work. I don't have my phone muted often but when I do I would want this still to function.

Still got some bugs to work out. I installed s pen SDK first. If you have other spen launchers or toolboxes they may get in the way of this operation. Test test test

I really don't understand what in the heck is going on with this app, Like I said B4 I payed for the full version of this app and I go to look it so I can put your app on my home screen. And there's no way and I have to go too app store and I can see it as plain as day , I hope we can come to some kind of resolution to this problem hoping to hear back from you soon have a wonderful day

UI is outdated, could really make this thing pop with some material look. It's functionality though, is flawless.

This app has a lot of customization. I have never had an issue with this application. For sounds I suggest using Zedge.

Works pretty well. Got it for the sound changes. Occasionally it doesn't turn the screen off when putting pen away, but that is a minor thing. Never crashed, which is good. On a Note 4, stock lollipop and Apex

When you have a custom ROM. One thing I would suggest would think about adding would be an updated user interface. Something more clean like the stock Samsung Note 5 pen drawer.

I really do like this app, it's very well made, and allowed me to change the sound effect, but there's one problem. My sound (currently a WAV file (I also tried an OGG file)) is delayed by a second or 2 when I detach and attach the s pen. I was hoping there was a fix for this, or maybe a bug in the app. Other than that, very good app. I hope there's a fix for this :)

P70%
by P####:

I fully expected to lose most S-pen features when going to a non-Touchwiz rom but with this app and the CM S-pen addon I've got a lot more functionality than ever. Also, author was quick and helpful resolving one issue I had with the custom rom I'm using.

T70%
by T####:

When attach and detach detection is on and set to run a Tasker task a periodic screen lag shows up. If I'm on a keyboard it will randomly treat a tap as a long press, if it hits when I'm drawing a line it will lose about 1/4th of a second and just have a straight point to point when the lag happens.

For the money it could have not. I actually changed my review because I found an incredible way to get it to work but here was the main issue....the app shade needs ton of work. The nesting feature to move it is not in there ? But if you added opacity, styles like arch , vertical arch - circle. Icons per app choice , remove text. If you build up that basically giving the option to have very close/better than spen window. I use you're in conjunction with slide launcher and it's pretty sweet.

I wanted an app which changes the s pen sounds and this app works. The only problem is that there is a noticeable delay before the sounds play. Other than that, it's great.

Lightsaber sound on my s pen? I'll five star that all day!
