Great app. does a great job turning screen off when phone in pocket can also put a finger of thumb over the proximity sensor when out for a run to keep screen off. However, I have recently reset my phone and reloaded this app and now POGO acts differently. the Audio Focus (POGO stopping music when loaded) was not a problem with Go Extender turning the screen black, however now it lets POGO audio focus again stopping my music whenit turns the screen back on after blacking it out (if you get what I am saying). I have been playing with setting a for a day now. to sort. very odd. BUT GREAT APP ANYWAY!

Have a few issues: gyroscope regularly is off, having me to figure out how to hold the phone to unblock the screen. And screen blackout also happens when Pokémon isn't the foreground app. Added feature would be nice as well: Black & white overlay to save battery on OLED screens / toggle screen using key combo, power+volup for example

Using the proximity sensor to turn the screen off and on is brilliant, and saves a substantial amount of battery while the phone is face down, or in your pocket, or closed in a flip cover case. My suggestions are to have an option to delay turning off the screen in case you just accidentally swipe your hand over the proximity sensor, and to allow the screen to be fully turned off instead of simply dimmed when the device is oriented downwards - for those devices without a proximity sensor.

Yukanol Fukov, your review is priceless.👍 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 based on the comments. Ill test app later. 🐲🐾 edit: yeah it fails on s6edge. Works once both on orientation and proximity then fails. Need to alt tab each time to have it work again. Shame but you still get my 5 for effort 🖒

Don't forget to toggle the toggle he recommends you toggle (about some phone's GPS/screen settings making the screen blink) or else you'll be giving a bad review like some of these other clowns who don't read.

Another 5 star would be given plus i will buy both app if you can creat a fake gyro for the PoGo so people can use their camera while playing even if their phone dont have this sensors. This is a kick ass app!

About this app

While you're playing you should be able to just put your smartphone in your pocket and walk without fear of unwanted screen presses. You should also be able to save battery by turning the screen off. This app does just that. While the device is pointing down or the proximity sensor is blocked the screen will turn black and no touches will be detected. It also enables you to keep the screen always on while the game is in foreground.
If you have a compatible device the proximity sensor will turn the screen off, so this is also good for LCD devices.

It makes your screen pitch black while the app is still running so you can walk and "hatch them all" while saving battery! :D
I recommend also turning on the battery saver option in the game so the battery savings are increased.

Features:
- Turn the screen off with the proximity sensor (on compatible devices).
- Make the screen black when the device is upside down or the proximity sensor is triggered.
- Dim the screen when the screen is black (Full version).
- Keep the screen on while the game is running.
- Mute the sound when the screen is black (Full version).

The app includes a 5 day full version preview.


ATTENTION:
- If your screen is always black press the power button to turn the screen off and try to disable one of the sensor (proximity or orientation).

- This app uses Accessibility services.
