Comments on Hide Navigation Bar for Android

★★★★★ Michael Billings Cole · Sep 27, 2021
Using this app combined with others as a security lockout feature. I really appreciate the app designer's way of doing things in general. Root access or ADB, and he gives you all the instructions in the app and in the Play store no guessing video would be nice. If you implement everything correctly with this and other apps like. 01 hide navigation bar 02 app locker 03 app freeze 04 blank launcher 05 switch user 06 Tasker You can make a secure phone without root that nobody can use without you
★★★★★ Mary Eaton · Sep 27, 2021
Great app. I didn't like my LG Stylo 5 default navigation bar. Previously I tried to use a custom navigation bar and my device default navigation bar would interfere with it, so I followed the instructions hid my device navigation bar, so I can my custom navigation bar without any interference from my device built in default navigation. I have an LG Stylo 5 with android 9 and this is perfect. Great job developer. ☺️👍👍

Hate it you need a PC or you can root your phone and I heard rooting your phone can cause problems to the phone
★☆☆☆☆ Gavin Lantz · May 16, 2021
Doesn't work on my device (You see my software and hardware info, right?) Yes, I understand it might not work on some devices, considering android can be completely butchered, like on huawei
★☆☆☆☆ SUHAIB ASRAWI · Dec 4, 2023
You should tell users that they must have rooted devices at 1st place
★☆☆☆☆ Arushan · Apr 24, 2024
"Hide Navigation Bar" DOESN'T hide the navigation bar, even after I grant all the permissions. And it still shows ads after I bought the premium!!? If anything is UTTERLY USELESS and a COMPETE SCAM, this is it. There is no refund option either.
