Turn the display on or off using the proximity sensor
Pros & Cons
Strong reliability from a persistent background service with autostart
Flexible usage with delay, sound feedback, and per-condition activation (calls, screen-lock)
No root required, easy to set up, plus useful tutorials and troubleshooting resources
Currently a relatively modest average rating (around 2.85) which may indicate room for quality/performance improvements
Not ranked in any top lists, suggesting room to compete with broader feature sets or visibility
Uses device admin and background services, which may raise user concerns around permissions and control compared to lighter competitors

Absolutely NOT OK to go from a PAID ad-free app to a free ad-supported app. This alone deserves a 1★ rating
