About this app

AOA is a ground breaking always on display which allows you to interact with notifications, view time/date, weather forecast, control your music, set app shortcuts, and much more right from your screen.

With AOA you are able to respond directly to any instant message such as SMS, Facebook messenger, WhatsApp, and many others. You can delete notifications or dismiss and save them for later. AOA is a must have for any device.

The app works well and better than the others that I've tried. There are ads but most are not intrusive (most). I've been using it for about a month now and really like it. I use the night clock every night. The time rules (Set schedule) works if the End Time doesnt go past midnight. If it goes past midnight, then it doesnt work at all. Oneplus 9 Pro. Android 14.

I absolutely love this app. Now I can see what time it is at night without picking up my phone. The numbers (of which you can change the colors and fonts) are big enough to see and my boyfriend had me put it on his phone as well. We are both 65 and older so the larger numbers help. Also, I love the colorful lights that circle around the edge of the phone when there is a notification and shows an icon without going into the phone. Battery usage is low on my phone. I give this 100 stars!

Samsung Galaxy Note 10+. I get a small flashing blue dot on my screen near the camera cutout. The app works, it's just in concerned that using it will permanently damage my screen do to the constant flashing of this one pixel. (Edit: changing to 4 stars. The dot issue happens when the pocket detection is on. When it's off, the dot appears for a second and then it's gone. This means that the app is usable for me now, hence the change to 4 stars. Also, the app doesn't auto start for some reason).

I really like it but it I wish I could long-press to at least my home screen like with the default AOD, default will also resume back to your app, but this seems to act as its own running app, so I'm not sure that's possible. Another thing I'm really glad I didn't learn the hard way- when I turn on the flashlight from the AOD, it will turn off when the screen rotates between portrait and landscape. Ok when I'm just too lazy to turn on the light, not ok if I actually needed it in a tough time.

Bought the pro version but had to uninstall. amazing app with lots of customization. I love the notification edge lighting!!! I had two reasons i uninstalled the app, one it drains my battery, no matter how much i like adding the functionality, if my phone is dead then it doesn't matter. second there are so many options a reset to default is needed if something isn't working the way you wanted.

Great app which compensates for the lack of AOD options on my Galaxy S22. I hope there are more animated backgrounds coming in the future! My only real complaint is there doesn't seem to be a way to hide the edge panel handle on Samsung phones when AOA is running. Unless the handle moves by itself, I'm worried it will cause screen burn. Update: After using the app for a few days, it just drained my battery too quickly to be viable. Too bad.
