Works well. Nice, simple interface. Using it for a work project on a number of devices. One recommendation would be to not allow the short press of the power button to sleep the phone normally. It is easy to accidentally press the power button briefly rather than for 1-2 seconds in which case, our app goes to sleep on the phones we are using after 5 minutes. You can't definitively tell the difference between this and a long press "locked" mode either until you try to wake the phone up later and the app is restarting. We give the phones out to others during demos so they aren't always in our control. I have the accessibility setting set but that doesn't prevent the power button from being pressed briefly either when the app is "locked" or when it is not.

Unfortunately disabling Power button is restricted by Android OS for security concerns

Pretty great app. Android is dumb and makes it so when phone is locked, it turns off wifi after a bit, meaning data is used, using it and the battery up more. Would like more customization options. Maybe an in app touch to lock like the shake or sensor blocked activation. Add that and the app is 5 stars easily. The shake to lock is a bit wonky. But I find shake to lock and sensor unblocked (3 sec) to be a great setup. Shake, put in pocket, good to go. Take out of pocket, "wakes up". Bam. Great

I absolutely loved this app on my last phone. I like to listen to YouTube meditation music to help go to sleep and this app would let me listen to videos on YouTube with the screen off so i could sleep. However, after upgrading to a Huawei Mate SE, this app doesn't seem to be compatibile. This app is not able to turn off the screen while keeping the apps running on a Huawei phone, it seems.

How app behaves? None of locking method works? Specs says it Andoid 8.0 with EMUI 5.1? Are You sure to have enabled permissions (pop-up windows in EMUI or regular Draw over other apps)? Haven't seen it not working on any EMUI i've tried it on. If it's manuf. customised firmware breaking app behaviour it's out of my reach to correct.
