Worth the 2.99! The app does exactly what I wanted it to! I didn't think that this was out there. I love the notification that I get when the screen is off, however, I noticed that when I double tap to turn on the lock screen the notification goes away, and I cannot preview it. I wonder if I have something wrong in the settings causing this? Edit: The large clock on my lock screen was causing the issue. I reduced the size of the clock which made room for the notification to stay.

The app does everything I'd like it to do. The free version seems to turn itself off completely after a day without watching an ad. I had some issues buying the premium version, even open to Google ticket, and they couldn't find anything wrong. I tried it again today and it went through. We'll see if it keeps working without any problems for more than 24 hours now.

When I upgraded my phone to a newer model, the thing I missed the most was the notification LED. It would flash whenever I had an unread notification, and the color would tell me what app the notification was from without waking the screen. I have used Notify Buddy for years now, and it does everything I missed about my old phone's LED and more. Honestly, it works so well that I forget that it isn't a part of my phone's factory software. Highly recommend!

Drains battery like crazy. 56% utilization on my phone. I downloaded this after 2 years because I had paid for premium. Looks like the developers still haven't fixed the battery drain issue. Please do not pay, see if it works on your phone without draining the battery, only then purchase the LED pack

This app used 10% of my battery in less than 4 hrs and send thousands of pockets of data from my device to God know who π. I don't like this behavior, I try other apps before and the most it uses was 3%

Paid for it and it does not work. It works when you set it up in the app but when you get a call or a text notification dot does not work. DO NOT WASTE MONEY ON THIS APP...
