1 ★ App used to work great until the latest updates when the ability to change Device Settings was broken on my S9. The latest update notes say this was corrected but the features still don't work for me. Developer hasn't responded to my support requests and my Pro license is now useless. Disappointed.
1 ★ I bought this specifically for the USB tethering toggle...which doesn't work. I've e-mailed the author about it 3x in an effort to try and debug/fix, but he doesn't even bother to respond. To his PAID customers. Do not give this developer your money.
1 ★ No longer works for modifying Galaxy AOD after being updated, and has been in this broken state for a long time now, with no sign of a fix, not to the stable nor beta branches, despite promises from the developer. Avoid this app.
1 ★ the setting/unsetting of the password feature claimed in the description does not work. I have sent an email to the developer hoping to solve this issue, but I have not received a reply.
1 ★ Really used to love this app. I'm in oreo and the actions take a long time to take effect. Sleep device in particular. it's unusable. works the first time then freezes up. Had to uninstall. any help would be nice!
1 ★ I paid for PRO features, but it was waste of money.. I have Samsung A7 2018 and want to make task for AOD, but when task is executed I get error: An error occurred while executing Action: Device Setting!
1 ★ Rubbish. Displays settings in a massive unordered list with no option to sort, filter or search. Fails to change settings with completely unhelpful error message. Author has absolutely no idea about UX design.
3 ★ I'd give it a higher rating if settings were displayed alphabetically. Having hundreds of settings completely randomized without a search function yields it practically useless.
1 ★ Just paid for premium features and the very next day the app was broken. Can't now alter the always on display, got it working for 1 day only.
1 ★ I paid for the add-on to change device settings and none of the settings that I needed are there despite them being available for others. No response from the developer either.
1 ★ App was abandoned but perfectly functional. Dev came back and released an update that broke the app, then abandoned it again and will not respond to complaints. Use SecureTask instead.
4 ★ This app rocks but no longer works properly with 2019 updates. Go to apkpureDOTcom, search for this app and download the previous version from July, 2015. All will be well!
1 ★ Like everyone else, an update broke it and I keep getting error messages without a place to debug it.
3 ★ Device Settings are broken in latest version, even when app is a device admin. From the logs: SecureSettings.ActionService: java.lang.SecurityException: com.intangibleobject.securesettings.plugin was not granted this permission: android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS
1 ★ excellent but latest update broken, reports i dont have root. rolling back to previous version fixes to problem.
