Fingerprint Scanner Tools

Fingerprint Scanner Tools is an Android App that makes it possible to execute certain actions when you touch your fingerprint scanner and your device is unlocked.
New: Swipe actions!

Famous actions that can be executed:
* Open app-shortcut
* Execute a Tasker task
* Toggle the quick settings/notification panel
* Launch the default camera app
* Start the flashlight
* Launch a certain app
* Turn off the screen (3 different methods)
* Take a screenshot

Swipe actions:Same as above

Q&A:

Q: Why is my notification bar expanding so slow?A: This is a bug in Android 6.0. Please try this workaround:Enable developer optionsIn Developer Options go to "Animator duration scale" and set it to 0.2x (you can set it also to 0, then it is going down super fast)Lock and unlock your device for it to take effect

Q: Why am I unable to unlock my device with my fingerprint after locking it with the action "Screen off" and "DeviceAdmin"?A: Please use another screen off method, you can choose it in the app. Android prevents us to unlock the device with the fingerprint when it has been locked with the so called DevicePolicyManager. They said that they don't want this feature to be misused.

As others have mentioned, the app works perfectly immediately after being configured and then stops working shortly after, requiring you to manually reopen and reconfigure it every time you want to use it. This is on Android 9 with battery optimization disabled. Bought it for the Tasker integration and it's currently unusable. Please fix this asap.

I find that the touch actin works OK provided you don't use the swipe action. But after one swipe (which will work) all future swipes or touches are ineffective until you force-stop the app and re-run it. Hope this gets fixed soon!

Recently I installed this app to try it up. But unfortunately app was "keeps stopping". I meant that there is a bug when entering the app or another reasons, I didn't understand. Additionally, the developer of this programm had not answered yet to other users or i didn't saw the users who have got answer from developer due to I didn't reach the end of comments. Because most of grades was from 1 to 3 star. I'll delete this app now, but in the future, perhaps I re-try it up)

Not working on my phone with Android Pie, unfortunately. App has a "Tap here if it doesn't recognize" button in the notification panel, when I tap that, it works... Once. Then it stops working again.

Very disapointed. I bought the pro version but every time I attempted to use a pro feature like runing a tasker the pay screen shows up and throws an error because I already bought it. Really wanted this to work.

This is not working well... I mean swiping has never worked on my device... And after touching the fingerprint sensor the flashlight was turned on.. But...!!!! Just for 3 times... After that it doesn't work... 😠

Simple to use, Tasker support nicely integrated with Event contexts. It varies on your device what you can do (gestures) and how sensitive it is, but works really well on my Xperia XZP. It works better in Pie than it did in Oreo, but both the app and my OS updated about the same time.

Bug Report: after enabling the app on EMUI 9.1 on my Huawei P20 Lite, whenever I just want to unlock my phone by using my fingerprint like normal, sometimes the fingerprint scanner doesn't respond or it takes 3 or 4 fingerprint scans to do so. Once this issue is fixed, I'll give the app a 5-start rating.

Last 2 updates introduced bug where it will actually stop working randomly. Was worthy of 5 stars before that, hopefully the dev can figure out the issue. edit:still no fix, removed a star.

It seems useful, but i was required to register a fingerprint before i could use the reader to launch a camera. I just want an extra button, not a privacy violation.

i really love your addition of toggling through tasker and i really want ti use this app all the time. but to get it to work i have to enable it, use it once, than disable/reenable before itll fire again. is there anything i can do to make it reliable? im on a Pixel 2.

Purchased for Tasker support. Only scans once and then you have to disable and re-enable for it to work again.

No option is working on my phone redmi note 7. I downloaded and paid for pro features only for tasker integration but no fingerprint action is working. Please help and fix my problem asap. Thanks

It is just horrible is you download on Android it won't even open if you download on a different phone it might make you have to return the phone to the place you got it from but it mostly just won't open up, so I recommend you to never every every download this app. 1 🌟. This app is the worst app in the world so I'm going to say it again never download this app

This apps functions are spotty at best. Unable to trigger it with any sort of confidence as 90% 9f the time is doesn't work.

Broken. I installed, upgraded to Pro, and it failed to unlock the pro version and kept demanding I repurchase it. Got a refund and uninstalled.

Dan. N. Oct 15, 2018     

Only work one time after opening the app. If i reopen the app, it works again only one time. I have S9+

Nay. M. Nov 25, 2020     

Genius idea, could do with some work though. Otherwise amazing app, I will get it back after it's better than it is. I'll be watching for updates...

I give 3 star for the maker. 1 star for the app. Not useful, I dont know how to make apps, but I think this one is very bad.. no sense at all. Uninstalled it..
