A Google User - July 17, 2012To be improved
I loved it on the Desire with Froyo but it's not of much use now on my SGS3 with ICS. Additionally, it makes the phone stay awake while charging
A Google User - November 6, 2012Broken and no support
Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.1.2. I didn't notice any issues and upgraded to the paid version. I have since discovered two issues and have now uninstalled the app because of the issues. The first is that the application keeps resetting the screen "stay awake" setting under the settings/developer option/stay awake. Even when I reset it, it reverts back to the "on" setting. The second issue is that somehow it changes the location permissions for the Google GPS settings for the Navigation app and My Tracks app to "off". When I change the permission for Google apps location permissions to "ok", it will work again, but the settings revert back to "off" again after a reboot. Requested support or refund over a week ago. No response from developer.
A Google User - August 2, 2012"Stay Awake" Enabled
Even though I'm on CM and don't have much use for this app anymore, I still like having a few widgets still on my screen. The problem is that it automatically has "Stay Awake" enabled after I reboot my phone so I have to go in and turn that off. Very annoying. Please fix!

Works great except the widget disappears I love you extra functions but I wish you would stay consistent I search for the FAQ's in the help but did not find anywhere to email the developer
A Google User - August 13, 2012"stay awake" needs to be fixed!!
needs to fix this. spend one full weekend trying to find why the "stay awake" settings is set to on when i am restarting my phone! i thought its an OS issue.. this needs to be fixed! Update: I found a work around for this. There is a "Stay Awake" toggle in extended controls. create a widget with that and by default it would be on. Turn it off and then restart your phone. The "stay awake" option should now be set as off even after the restart. You can delete this "Stay Awake" toggle widget now, its not needed anymore.
A Google User - July 19, 2012Worked, now broken.
It was good, but since last update causes my screen to come on at random & stays on while charging, a real problems seeing as I charge my phone over night. Fix this and the rating will improve also.
A Google User - August 1, 2012Everything Works Except...
LED flashlight turns off by its self when turned on. Everything else works! It even sleeps while charging! Don't know why other GNex owners are having problems. (U.S. GSM Galaxy NEXUS OTA JRO03C stock deodex rooted ROM) Maybe my busybox is better than yours ;-) Thank you!
chase anderson - December 5, 2012Battery killer
Had this app for 2 days and loved the selection of toggle switches and the widget looks like it came stock with the device, HOWEVER... My screen must be manually turned off while charging. I did not know that and when I woke up this morning my battery was only at 60% after charging for 6 hours Screen on and extremely hot to touch. Additionally the screen will turn itself on after you turn if off. I hope I can get a refund!
A Google User - November 9, 2012good app that needs bugs fixing.
It great to have widgets on screen, so the purpose of this app is good. But there are problems when plugged in the screen stays on and this uses a lot of power The switch that changes silent-vibrate-normal has an unnecessary extra setting.
A Google User - September 13, 2012Now Broken
Used to love this app for everything it did, but some update broke it for both my phone's (s1 & s3) and it now causes my phone's to lock up. I have submitted over 50 crash reports in the last week, uninstalling & rating 1 untill fixed.
