Depending on your configuration, this app may need the Device Administrator permission.

    My reviews can be critical, but not for this app. I've been desperate for a way to have my display wake to see incoming notifications, and this app does just that! It's an honest app, too. It didn't sneak in unwanted features, abuse permissions, or hide telemetry. It's wonderfully unobtrusive, efficient, and I have yet to encounter a bug/issue. The programming is solid and the app is simple to use. It's free, no ads, and the developer even appears to provide support. Wow! Thank you so much!

    I've used this app for years to turn on the display from Tasker. It works flawlessly. There's a new Display Unlock action in AutoInput but it doesn't work on all devices. I'm sure this app can be more useful. Nevertheless. This app remains a must have for me.

    I've been using Android phones for years and I always felt that there was something wrong with the notifications. I realized that the screen wouldn't wake up when I revcieve a notification, unlike the iPhone. I can't believe that I hadn't stumbled upon this app before.

    Like to take a moment to thank and comment the developer for this free app that is so useful for me. I have been using it since it came out years ago since 2015 on my older Samsung phones and so far it has been working flawlessly. Thanks for the hard work and making this app free for all as well! Appreciate it! Hope there will be periodic updates as well. Don't forget this app! I'm pretty sure it has helped alot of people. Thanks again. :)

    Was really frustrated that my screen didn't wake up when receiving app messages on my new Samsung A22S 5G but installed Glimpse after reading the reviews. My issue was sorted in a flash - what a relief. I'm very grateful. Thank you, Nullgrad Apps. 🙏

    I recently purchased the Samsung galaxy a32 5g.. and noticed that my screen wasn't waking up when notifications came through.. I had to search on Google about it and mentioned this app. I've only just downloaded it.. so far so good. Will update in about a week or so if its still working.. I just hope it doesn't drain my battery lol

    I'm so grateful that I found this app. I have a Samsung Galaxy A11, and all of my notifications were being delayed while my screen was turned off/locked. I tried everything I could think of and this is the only thing that worked. Thank you.

    It stoped working so I uninstalled and installed it back, now it works again. Maybe it was something to do with those phone updates messing up the configuration or something, I don't know
