Looks great if you can find the right wallpaper. But it lacks many personalization features like selecting the font size, the clock type, transition effects, widget positioning etc. It is also a bit buggy at times when it would appear 2 seconds after the phone is turned on. Otherwise, pretty clean.
This is one of the best screenlock apps I have used. Simple but stylish. But I have teo problem with it. 1. When I play music and want to stop or change music (tuoch any music button) the music player row turns gray or red, the color depends of what kind of WP I have. Thid is ptobably a feature, but please make it possible to turn off, because its ugly and hella annoying. :( I can see the buttons very well without it! 2. and sometimes it crashes or wont respond but not stop as well.
The lockscreen app used to work great, then the pin option started messing up. It didn't accept my pin anymore and so I clicked recover pin. I got the email to reset pin, and it still wouldn't work. Tried it again and got a new reset code and still didn't work, had to uninstall it to get back into my tablet. Smart Launcher still works, but I am a little worried about it.
I like this lock screen, but since the last 2-3 days it has started freezing up randomly. If this persists, will have to uninstall the app as this manages overall UI experience. Shame really, as I really like the list-based organisation.
Great lockscreen, only one issue: when you tell the app to use ypur homescreen picture as wallpaper, it asks you if you want to darken the picture so that the clock and all can be readable. You only have 'Yes' & 'Cancel' as option. Clicking 'Cancel' still darken my picture.
Doesn't integrate with the phone lock system. 1)Doesn't support fingerprints 2) Doesn't support face unlock 3)It deactivate the phone lock (pattern or password) making the on screen unlock to be only Swipe, even though you have followed it's instructions that say you can put password on it. SLT please fix, it seems you guys have forgotten this lock-screen apps and only concentrated on the Launcher of which I have no problem with.
I would give this application a 5 star review, but I found an exploit to bypass the lockscreen, basically just shut down the phone and reboot it. You have about a 1-2 minute window to do whatever you want, then you can just repeat to continue snooping.
I would have rated this app a five star, except for one major flaw, there is no fingerprint support. As I am a fan of unlocking my phone using the fingerprint, this app does not let me do that, and so, it loses a star. However, if fingerprint support does get added, I will come back and rate it a five star.
Just enjoyed the circle animation effect and the wallpapers just for a few days... Problems: No notifications in the lock screen and also the music app does not show up on it.
Pretty cool lock screen.. I wish will could customize it a little bit more. Like different clock position and styles and so on. Could you please fix the vibrate it doesn't work when I open my phone.. Thanks. After all that I would say this is my and the Play Stores number one screenlock app.. . Please update I would recommend this to anyone. It's a great lock screen. Hope it has updates updates it's a shame u ghost this app for 2 yrs now ++ I really hope u update it. it's a geme. . . AAA+++
Lock screen is abysmal, no support for fingerprint, no support for live wallpaper. And most of the lock screen is not free (WTH?). Also, a launcher with yearly subscription (WTH2??). I have to keep paying to use your launcher? What, you have DLC too maybe?
I've had this screen lock for almost a year but been crashing the past few days when I updated smart launcher. I really like this one. Such a shame.
I like it but I don't like the clock. Also I have to unlock it in order to turn off my alarm. *update... Now after I unlock my phone, my home screen is frozen? This does not happen with my regular lock screen, only this app.
The UI is great, graphics are great too but there is a problem with the software key's that shows the bottom of my old lockscreen.
I have been using this lockscreen as a replacement for my default and has always worked perfectly without fail. If I could give 6 stars, I would. 👍👍
Nice one, but need 1 thing. Please add font color setting for the clock, date and anything that related to the features. Overall, good.
i love this lock screen very much. it's irritating that it doesn't work with system security. and i need it work with finger print!!!
Well I've tried it on many phones but it doesn't work in any of those. Opens first time then the lock screen never appears again. Like never......
The actual app was ok though I didn't like how the notifications looked on the screen. But the ads increased even more and looks so horrible that I had to delete
Forces a choice between Android 9.0's lock screen security measures and Black Hole's simple 4 digit PIN... I'd reinstall for better integration with Android fingerprint authentication.
it's a great app, love the appearance but I can't see any notifications from my lockscreen..checked the notification box everything's set but still can't see any
Nothing too special really. You are dumb if you get upset that it disables the system lock screen though. Otherwise you would have to unlock the system lock screen, then unlock the app lock screen.
18/01/2020: Hi Smart Launcher Team. WE NEED AN UPDATE!!! Smart Launcher please update the BEST sckreenlocker this is my No. 1 screenlocking app. Now that Android Phones comes with Fingerprint the App is not working with fingerprint! Please fix it real soon. ❤
A must have for my super cheap work phone that will unlock in your pocket. However, alarms will disable it and will have to be manually re apllied.
It's ok, one thing I would fix is, I use a curved edge mask on my phone and when I have it on the lock screen simply does not work.
Black Hole is a flawed gem that could be polished into a pristine, one-of-a-kind app. Firstly, I was disappointed to find that I can't set my own password on it, breaking the illusion of a lockscreen and making it more like an overlay. It also gets delayed and shows up after the vanilla lockscreen, even though I didn't want it to. It's also only half-functional with Samsung Music, and the music bar changes into weird, out of place colors. Still better than nothing, and there's nothing like it.
