Great application with a few caveats. The largest one is the few features that the phone need be rooted for. I get it. It's not a difficult task to accomplish and I have an S20 so it's not something that can be done. Everything else is wonderful. I really like being able to tap the status bar to turn my flashlight on or launch an important app. Thanks for this!

This app is awful, it sounded so nice in theory. It can't actually replace the status bar, so it pastes something over your original one, which shows itself when you pull the notification bar and put it back, it looks like sloppy work. The custom one doesn't even cover the original all the way on my phone, so you can still see parts of the original leaking out of the custom one 🤦 On top of that, my selfie camera notch is half in/half out of the status bar. Just terrible 👎

Good app, could use some work. I found this app through the popular YouTube channel HowToMen and he used it with a Galaxy S20 and it seemed to work just fine, but for some reason it didn't work quite the same for me. Maybe it has to do with my phone's OS (MIUI) but idk. When I ran the "disable heads up" notifications ADB command it went through but heads up notifications weren't disabled still. I had to disable it on a per app basis to get it to work properly. Also sometimes the app doesn't work

UNINSTALLED The app ceased to work on Android 11. I see that your software doesn't work on many phones brands. you blame whoever wrote the OS. all other apps work on all 9 of my phones and tablets. so, it just doesn't work anymore. matter of fact, it locks phone when attempting to access status bar menu items. ?? blame it on Google, truth is, your software does not do what is said here.. by the way, this was my old rating: A most excellent software! thank you! B4 !!! NOT! Uninstalled.

I just wanted to move the time on my status bar to the right. To do so I needed to buy the pro version, so I did. But then the status bar turned opaque on my homescreen, which looked horrible and I did not want at all and wouldn't change. Played around with it for a while and ultimately uninstalled since it wasn't able to do what i bought it for.

Good app just found a bit annoying bug were if you open your notification bar the status bar disappears and you can get it back unless you open an app or turn of then on your phone. And it would be cool if you could add it to the lock screen somehow. Not necessarily but still work be an awesome update. But other then that a good app

It's alright, however, I wish there is an option to change the slider thickness. For example, I can't change the YouTube video options on full screen because I keep hitting the slider instead of the video options button. Aside from that, it takes me back to the Cyanogenmod days of being able to simply changing the brightness from the notification bar.

Fantastic! Along with the status bar customization (which I personally don't use) this app allows you to set a plethora of custom gestures by simply swiping, dragging, tapping, double-tapping, and holding on the status bar! There are so many options; I was blown away by the fact that you can even make a gesture enable split screen. Most of the options are available in the free version too so you can get a taste of the app! Phenomenal. Now I can turn up my brightness when I can't see the screen.

It's a really good app, really useful and a good way to personalize your phone in a useful and productive way. But it has a slight imperfection, for example, when I want to trim a photo on what's app, its quite difficult with the status bar expanding through out my screen by just slightly toching the top part of the screen. If they fix that, then you can count on the five stars

I've had this a couple days & so far, & I like it. It doesn't seem to use a lot of RAM or battery & stays on for the most part. It's only about 20MBs too. The only annoyance is that the toggle to move items around the notch doesn't actually move them, so you won't see whatever is under the notch. The ads can be annoying too. They popup randomly & pressing the "x" doesn't get rid of them (maybe because of gestures being enabled?), but it says they go away if you pay.

Nice app. Very functional. However, the battery bar does not work properly on a Samsung Flip 3. Upon restart and other random times it is misaligned in the offset. It takes going to the app, moving the offset slide any number plus or minus, and the bar immediately repositions itself to the correct offset. It happens randomly as well when phone is closed and opened. So I guess this app is not optimized for the Flip 3.

Promising but has many issues. Notification icons with color don't display properly. On my home screen (nova launcher) it just disappears after bringing down the quick settings. So many options are locked behind "premium" it's confusing as to why this is even a free app. The battery optimizations present on Samsung phones (which have to be manually disabled per app) make this disappear after exiting the app but there's no mention of this being necessary. This is just what I found in 7 minutes.

This app is amazing. Goes a long way toward fixing some of the bad decisions google has made, eg removing the ticker or not allowing you to move the clock position or change the icons. I wish it could also change the appearance of the notification shade because currently I have to use another overlay app to do this and they don't always play well together. I want a solid black background on my notifications and to lay out the quick settings tiles more compactly. Edit: ticker stopped working 😦

This app appeared to have promise so I paid for the premium version. However I have learned a few things since then. The app does not replace the status bar, it merely displays on top of the normal status bar (thus why it cannot offer a transparent option). Also the status bar does not indicate when my phone is connected to 5G. It says LTE. And often when connected to LTE is simply has an X. I am no longer using the app due to this.

Loving it by now but , in iOS style , the percentage is left to the battery icon not the right also some system icons are supposed to be on the left side , the style in the app just replaces icons , i wish we could've had more control over the placement of specific icons , also would've loved if we could've changed the color of the status bar based on specific apps , Changing colors of some apps based on our own desire . Thanks for this amazing app

Great app! Although - on OP7Pro, battery bar animation works when it wants, and charging bolt only appears after restarting the phone while plugged in (using iOS status bar). Once unplugged, it won't reappear when plugged back in again. Also, when editing in Google Photos, the save button is covered by the status bar.... The status bar is preventing simple everyday use. And time in center is in Military time. Any fixes in the works?

This gets killed off by Google after some time (some sort of goofy background optimization or something like that) and I have to reboot to get it back. But when it is running right, it's worth it. There are a few quirky things in there but I'm sure Tom will tweak and adjust as he goes along but there hasn't been any updates for quite some time. Looking forward to improvements and added themes.

By far the best way for me to digest notifications without the huge and intrusive stock pop-up banners, so much so I supported w/ premium. I do have some main issues though: [1] Ticker colors are set to match notifying app, but it always uses black/white colors (Snapchat, Messenger, etc); allowing user-selected colors for specific apps would fix this issue. [2] Lack of ticker text customization. You can't modify the text font, let alone the size or spacing; only animation style is customizable.

Excellent tool! I feel back deep into the empowered zone. Google is stupid in not letting custom status bars from displaying when quick/notifications shown. Certainly not a reason to stop having a custom status bar, but sad nonetheless. On Google Pixel 7 Pro (stock Android 13), the Notch/hole punch compatibility feature doesn't move items around the camera hole

Not perfect but definitely gets the job done. It has a good amount of customization available. Worth the price Pros: Starts up on phone reboot Detailed icons and bar sizing options Color selection to your exact desire Guesture feature works well Cons: (& things I would like added) Bluetooth icon stopped displaying even though it is checked "on"... No option to scale icon size Battery bar feature loses "offset" setting occasionally Charging icon cannot be disabled
