Yeah you could activate music controls on AOD but you had to actually swipe to get them which was a bit tedious.
Got a tip for us?

That’s rather ironic you say that because the iPhone X is all swipe gesture now but you don’t find that a bit tedious?
Nice app but it needs to be dimmable and maybe offer an auto dim option. Also I guess Change Colors is part of the Premium but it chases every time ii hit it.
Also not locking is a BIG issue but being a 3ed party app that can't be avoided.
Is like rain on your wedding day? A free ride when you’ve already paid?
In all seriousness though. I just thought the controls should have been on the same page instead of swiping to get them. Just a very small annoyance. Like I said earlier, I liked AOD when I had the Note 8. Now that I have the X, I don’t necessarily miss it either. One of those nice features but not a needed one.
It is dimmable, I think you hold on the screen and drag up and down to dim and brighten. I tried it a couple weeks ago.
Those are some good suggestions. The developer is a member, is active and likes to hear feedback and suggestions. Send him a PM.
Apple defenders: "I much prefer face ID over touch ID. I don't have to touch the phone to unlock it."

Apple defenders: "I love AOD! Apple implemented it so much better than Samsung". (although it's the same exact thing).

You can schedule it to turn off while sleeping. IT is best thing on amoled screen and I don't see how someone can dislike it.
Notifications have been a weak spot for iOS as long as I can remember.
Just copy the way Android does it and be done with it.
The always on clock is an excellent feature. Feels like a no brainer on OLED iPhones
Just noticed a 'nice' feature. Wondered what it had proximity sensor feature since you are not going to be talking on your iPhone with the app on. However this cuts it off when in your pocket. In hindsight it is obvious but I only assosuateod the sensor with using the phone (what it is designed for).

What a weird area to be subjective about. Oh well. I'm happy I'm of the mindset that I'd like to see an artist's work the way he or she intended. Also glad I prefer to see the world the way it is objectively represented in my captured photos and videos.
When I tried AOD on my S8+ and Note 8, the battery only dropped about 1% every two hours. The battery drain with AOD is nothing to worry about.
It'll be a feature for the 2018 phones due to Gen 2 OLED. That's when it will be "done right."
And because Apple likes to ration features.

The color changing feature currently is not working, and although it has been fixed quiet a while back that app update has been pending App Store review for quiet a while. Implementing a locking mechanism is something that is doable for the iPhone X, i'll look into it if all goes well with the following updates.

I have an iPhone 8 and was wondering if there was a way to have like an always on display feature that says the time, maybe some notifications, etc.
Thanks.
Thanks.
I think it may come to the iPhone X with iOS 12 because it has the OLED display.
It won’t come to any other iPhone though.
