About Smart Screen

Small, innovative and useful utility, allowing you to automate the screen turning on/off based on proximity.

WARNING: The app hardly use any battery power. However, please note that if you do not use the screen LOCK option, the device would NOT go into deep sleep (power-saving mode) and WILL use a lot of battery power!

Seems some people worry about wearing out their proximity sensor or something like that - rest assured, the proximity sensor would outlast any other part of your phone by a long shot, even if you use it non-stop. :)

Features:
✔ Automatically wake up the device when you open the flip cover, take the device out of pocket/bag, etc.;
✔ Automatically turn the screen off when you close the flip cover, put the device in pocket/bag, etc. (as long as the sensor remains blocked) and optionally lock the device after set amount of time (to make the screen stay off, even if the sensor gets unblocked);
✔ Autostart on boot of the phone;
✔ Fully customizable.

Premium options:
✔ Status bar icon - if you really don't want it and are willing to risk the service being killed for memory;
✔ No ads - ad-free use of the app;
✔ Excluded apps - a list of apps which would disable the Smart Screen service while they are being used;
✔ Lock sound - choose a lock notification sound;
✔ Only in portrait - whether the "Screen Off" should work only when the screen is in portrait mode;
✔ Only on Home Screen - whether the "Screen Off" should work only when you are on the Home Screen;

TO UNINSTALL: Use the in-app option for this!

Neat app. Has slot of great features. My issue is when my proximity sensor is blocked the screen goes black. I want to disable this so I can use my VR headset. Is this possible to do with this app? I've tinkered around with settings and had no luck.

If you favor unreliability and seek aggravation then look no further! This app's for you.

Why is this animated Phone showing up on my Phone? Hate it showing up!

So I get 2 On screen tabs, 2 Off screen tavks, one has empty page while other has some setting...this is too confusing just to turn-on my screen. Uninstalling

It is very useful and has a very big difference between some of the similar app..

Does some of what's advertised. For the rest you need to rent the Pro version for a year. I'd be happy to buy the Pro version, but I really don't like annual subscriptions. The free version is spectacularly adequate. The developer shouldn't complain that users feel this way. If the user's comments are factual, cop their opinions, or change it.

It would be better if "excluded apps" feature will available in free version.

Great little app. Glad issue with premium was fixed so soon!

T70%
by T####:

I've tried several proximity sensor screen control apps and this is the best. Quick and responsive without excessive battery drain. Using a Moto E and works well. Planning donate after a bit more testing because premium isn't a one-time fee. Keep up the helpful updates.

Very good app but: -1 star for not being able to set Screen-Lock delay to 30 minutes. -2 stars for not being able to buy the app. Yearly subscription is ridiculous for an app like this. -1 stars for bugging me outside the app. ----> uninstalling.

Ads are pushed way too far. You click on some settings and you get loud music and videos playing. Practically, this is an adware.

Works great... but it suffers from ugly icon-itis. Yes, this app works as advertised. Turns on your phone when you take it out of your pocket and off again when you put it back. It also consumes very little power. Unfortunately, the white and black and tall notification icon does not match the rest of the icons, which are white and transparent and squat. It stands out like a sore thumb. Changing the icon would make it look like it belongs.

by Z####:

The app is fantastic, but the pop-up ads are terrible. I'd be happy to pay for the app but there's no way I'm paying a subscription. Update: the down rate is for the popup ads while not in the application. If not for the pop-ups I'd give 4 stars. 5 if I could just buy it and not subscribe.

Works great again, I recommend using it if you have a problem with your power button works even better than proximity actions and has an easier to use GUI. It only has a few minor bugs. Great developer.

Z70%
by Z####:

Extremely user friendly, intuitive interface. Works great on my Note 5, no glitches. All the others are either confusing, don't work all the time, or do things without asking (like locking the screen). I don't need the premium enhancement but I got it anyway just to support this developer. If I had any suggestions, it would be to have vibrations when it turns off. The Easy Smart Cover did that and it was helpful to confirm it was off without checking.

After 2 long days and nights looking for suitable flip case screen lock APP finally I found it. I was really tired from installing and uninstalling of too much rubbish. This APP works great on my Lollipop. Something more - this is the only one APP on Google play that gives me up to 10 min in switching the screen off before instant locking of it. I'm happy. Developers THANKS A LOT!

I do like the app, because it is useful, that's why I subscribed immideately. But, I do agree with some users that having users to subscribe is kinda sucks from the users perspective (but I subscribe anyway). I also do notice that everytime the phone's unlocked there's a black square in the middle of the screen for a second. It's not interfering, but if it's not there it'd be a lot nicer. Great job anyway.

Greatest app of it's kind but could have add a wave lock too

So far the app works great. Unfortunately I'm not willing to pay yearly for such an app when my GPS apps don't charge like that also for it to be a iai app. make it a full app. And stop getting over on us.

I have no ads checked but why am I seeing them again? I hate opening my screen to see the animated black phone in the left corner. I have to tap it for the full screen ads shows up to cancel again? Why this too? More ads and pop ups too. :-( WTF? One other has ads poping up in center and this bottom left, black animated phone? Come on Two apps showing ads when it's checked not to?

Maantab....

by Z####:

Excellent tool, but for some reason it's eating my battery a little more than what would be expected. If it can reduce the usage of battery (maybe my configuration of the tool is to blame), it would definitely be worth 6 stars. Can the team help to let me know if the battery usage is normal?

But the go looks old and cheap. In not asking for a fancy design but the action bar looks bad..

I've paid for the no adds version and have had very few complaints or issues. Works exactly as described. I had an issue with rhe app crashing so posted a comment. The dev got on to it immediately it was fixed the next day. Don't you wish all developers responded like that! That's how you make happy customers and keep them! Well worth the subscription that's for sure.
