I'm not sure if this is the phone problem or the apps, 2 issues i encountered in this apps The 1st 1 is GO Launcher fails to set as default launcher. Everytime i use GO Launcher and i pressed 'home' button, it changed back to default launcher. The second problem is while there are 2 different bars for ringtone and notification, i could not change 1 and have another remain unchanged. I'm using Oppo F5.
Just wanted a power toggle bar widget but then demands to install another PASS
This is an add-on to a launcher. The widget Does not work on its own.
you have to allow this to operate on other launchers
it's janky....
I like it so far. One problem I encountered: When switch toggle for airplane mode is turned on/off, I am sent to the wireless and networks settings. I don't really use airplane mode too often so its a minor issue for me but nonetheless its a serious problem to be addressed. -Blu Life Play X
Mobile data switch no longer works after Android 5.0 update. Also, when I'm on a phone call and turn off mobile data by pressing the mobile data switch, it hangs up my phone call. Been hanging up calls for the past 3 updates however. Using Galaxy s5
Used to love it. I kept only 3 functions on the bar that I used regularly, one being the flashlight. Now everytime I shut the screen off, it changes itself. I'm uninstalling now because if I can't keep the flashlight handy on the widget, there's no point.
I have this app along with the non pro version installed on my Samsung Note 5 and it widget has worked for months and now after I restart my phone widget shows up with no icons and just a white bar. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and same problem. Please fix.
Been using for more than a year and very happy, until today. My phone is now seriously messed up and I need to go and purchase some other launcher. DO NOT waste your money! One year ago it would get 5 stars. It gets zero today. The app I purchased has been replaced with successive updates that no longer resembles the thing I purchased. Options I had before like backup and restore settings has been removed. Best example I have seen of developers ruining a perfectly good app in pursuit of money.
The main reason I was interested in this app was for the themes. Don't get me wrong, it works well enough but it doesn't do anything I can't do by swiping down from the top of my screen. This changes the app from fantastic to actually pretty useless...
This worked fine on my Droid Razr MAXX HD. I set which things I wanted to control and never had a problem. I upgraded to the Turbo 2 and now I can't make any changes to what I control. When I select the 1x1 widget I only get the choice to switch WI-FI, no matter what I do I only get that option.
I switch the buttons to suit my needs, but after a while it goes back to the original buttons that I don't need.
Last launcher update has messes up the widgets, they dont work right anymore for the 1x1s and u cant custom set them
Cannot select dark skin on Galaxy S5. Very disappointing and clashes with my theme. Widget works fine, but looks so bad I don't want to use it.
first problem is that notification on home screen cannot be deleted or removed. second problem is unexpected error of switch widget. the mobile data icon remains off and if I on it the "unexpected error please email it" msg comes with triangle shape
It's a great app, but the current version lost a lot of value because the selection of the different widgets is no longer working.
I don't know why but Samsung took away the quick access "mobile" or "data" button. So I use the switch to turn it on when needed and off when I need to save battery. Also it gives me quick access to the light switch. Plus more and more.
After updated go laucher, the go swich always restores to default setting/layout after a while
Mobile data widget does not work on the 5.0 version. Cant even chanhe the theme of the widget
It's a good app and really convenient, but can be unresponsive at times.
After recent android update, the mobile data switch doesn't work. And thats pretty much all i used this widget for.
Widget 1x1 only show wifi shortcut and cant be changed. It is on xiaomi mi4c, miui7 android 5.1.1
Bug still persists after many months of the edited buttons resetting on their own.
It worked perfectly before this last Android update. Themes don't work, data on/off switch does not function. Other switches still work like wifi on/off but data switch does not do anything now. Samsung Galaxy S5.
Restores to default layout after a while. So irritating.
The ability to simulate the knock knock feature and still have awesome launchers/wallpapers is simply amazing
The app works sometimes. All of the icons will disappear and will only have 3 dots in the middle but you can't click on them to do anything. If I restart my phone they come back and it works again for a few hours. It's nice when it works but it gets old having to restart to make it work again.
