Filled a whole my new phone had - moved from Samsung A3 to A6 and lost Always On Display. This does exactly what I need. A couple of very minor issues stop me giving a 5, but nowhere near enough to stop me using it. (For reference, those are related to the quick menu being accessible when the screen is locked and occasionally the quick menu icon stops working and I have to remove it, force stop the app and put the icon back. Only happened twice in about a month). oh and it's free and ad-free!

I love the look of this app, the only problem is when it is activated the button lights on my s7 edge remain lit, and they are very bright!! This is my only problem with this app, otherwise it's really good!! Just hope there's a way to stop the buttons being lit all the time, haven't found anything in the settings yet though

The music control is extremely limited, the author and title don't appear. Maybe it only works with the stock player of mainstream phones, no idea, but useless to me, also it's at the very bottom, it's ridiculous, it should be more in the center to be visible under any circumstance (like if your phone is in a ducking station). Very poorly thought.
