    Every day or two the app resets all of my chosen quick launch apps making me set them all over again. It shouldn't ever forget what apps you have set. Even when the apps are updated. Now rating 2 stars until the glitch is fixed

    I've been using the app for years on various phones, including my current one, and I love it. However recently my phone got an upgrade to Android 9 and ever since I'm having problems. After unlocking the screen it's not responding. The only thing that works is tapping an app icon. Once I have started an app everything works normal again, until it is locked again. Removing and reinstalling unfortunately didn't solve the problem.

    I like using this since my Xiaomi doesn't have unfolded/on screen notifications when locked (you have to pull down the tray from the top) Some things I don't like and that would be very easy to add to the app : 1 - there's no option to change the way you unlock your phone (pull down only. I was used to pull up) 2 - there's a clock but it doesn't let you access to the app (for instance to turn on your alarm clock without unlocking) 3 - you have to swipe the notification tag to the right to open the app. I was used to tapping it... Further, to dismiss it, you have to swipe it to the left side. Can't modify these settings. 4 - can't really modify the settings for the tray showing oft-used apps and contacts. I'd like to change the shortcuts like replace Wifi with Hotspot....

    This is getting very stupid now. 1) the lockscreen barges in when you're on an important call to get all up in your face before you use any of your call functions. 2) the app for the lockscreen doesn't let you report the dysfunctionality because it thinks you have no network connection when you know full well from being able to write this review you do. Otherwise Google will tell you. The rule is: you do until Google says you don't.

    The app is very good and it's easy to use. It also contains no ads. However, I've noticed two bugs: 1. The screen unlocks itself when three consecutive messages are received from the same app, whoever the contact is. 2. The Music Control sometimes does not appear on the lock screen even if music player is on. Fix these bugs and the app will be just perfect.

    Shame this app was discontinued, it was easily the BEST lock screen replacement app out there. And with the Microsoft Launcher also installed, it allowed for a seamless transition and worked perfectly with the Launcher/home screen. Never ran into any bugs, flaws, slowdowns, etc while using Next. It was just a really well-designed, well-put-together lock screen replacement app. I loved the extra features and customization options not available in the stock Android lock screen. Bring back Next!!

    I like the lock screen. It looks great and when the lock screen works, it is very useful. However, the lock screen does not work on my phone. It worked great the first day, but now it will not function at all unless I go and click on the app before I manually lock my phone. And then it won't work if my phone is locked for longer than an hour.

    The smart lock constantly disappears and reappears all on it's own or possibly with updates I guess, not sure which. However, when it disappears from the Next Screen Lock setting, this is a major inconvenience. I could use the system smart lock, but that defeats the purpose since I am using Next for its features and look and using the system lock instead makes the phone bypass Next almost 100%. I loved this app until that began happening again here recently, I am thinking of getting rid of now.

    This could be a great app if the lock screen didn't change all the time. Shortcuts constantly dissappear. Camera and phone shortcuts are rarely there. It's a beautiful app that can be great if you didn't have to fix it all the time. I may be looking for a new app that works but I'd rather not.

    Made useless by Android. You know where this would be useful on Windows 10. Looks nice for the 1/10 of a second you can see it. where it would be nice to have quick shortcuts and your notifications right on the lockscreen is on my surface pro. it would be nice if Microsoft paid as much attention to Windows as they do to Android and iOS
