Screen Off - AdFree for Android
The very best app of its kind and well worth paying for. (All those cheapskates moaning about ads in the free version, dig "deep" and spend a tiny amount - or do you all work for free!)
Got a really protective case for my S6 and it made the power button very difficult to operate, tapping a widget to turn off the screen is awesome. Turns off display faster than the power button! :) I have a dash mounted Nexus 7 in my car as well. Widget is easier to find than the side mounted button when driving.
Good app
Working perfectly for turning off the screen and lock the phone. But after that, unlocking with fingerprint does not work. Get a work around this problem, and I will change to 5 star. Meanwhile I'm using other apps that can do that without rooting the phone.
Every time after I lock the screen and on my phone I have to key in my pin instead of use my finger prints to unlock it. Can you fix it? Will give 5 stars when you fix it! Thanks for the quick reply! For your info I'm using my phone lock screen feature but not smart lock.
I use screen off app instead of the mechanical switch. Hard to rate its performance. But the art design, a polished steel icon, is very attractive. It shine up up up my home page.

I hate fiddling around cheap ass so didn't try the free version first and don't mind the few cents spent too Matthijs :) Ok the app is working just fine but.... not as stated... "put to sleep" cause it doesn't only put to sleep, it locks the screen too.... I have it set to do that after 30min (not together with turning it off), simply not practical during driving. I need an app to ONLY turn off the screen when in the cradle during driving, NOT lock it. It simply isn't handy to use the powerbutton in the cradle for that. Can you provide an option for "lock as well? yes/no" in an upgrade Matthijs? Would turn it in to 5star for me :) Love the small footprint and the metal look BTW!!
