Comments on Power Control Plus (widget) for Android
★★★★★
Great app to quickly change phone settings Running on Sprint S3 without any issues. My new must have app to quickly change phone settings. No more digging through the settings menu to toggle auto rotate screen, with power control plus the on/off widget sits on my home screen. Great features, great app, only one complaint no GPS with Android 2.3+. Hopefully this will change soon!
★★★★★
Necessary This is one of the few apps I've paid for. Excellent utility. Works great, both as a widget and in notification screen, on my phone.
★★★★★
Sorting please Absolutely the best android control widget (and I've tried them all extensively). One feature that I really miss though is sorting. Also I would love to be able to export/import widget settings.
★★☆☆☆
Buggy on 4.3 Used to love it, now unfortunately I'm back to the stock android power control widget due to the fact that it allows me to toggle my GPS and this doesn't. Please update.
★★☆☆☆
No longer works Used to work great but ever since Jelly Bean update barely works at all. Perhaps conflict with Locale
★★☆☆☆
Usless App Do not waste your money on this app. Just reinstalled it and still won't work on my HTC one with lollipop. Please refund my money.
★★☆☆☆
Why phone access? Tryed this and didn't like it. Refund was not available only 4 minutes after download. Not happy. Also why does this need to access phone calls - something you only find out after purchase.
