Comments on StandBy Mode: Clock & Widgets for Android
★★★★★Alonso Perez· Apr 30, 2026
So I really love this app I purchased the premium, but lately it stops displaying when my screen is off I have to plug in the charge again to get it to display (Edit) sorry im a dummy and had it on the wrong settings 😅
★★★★☆Jon· Jun 10, 2026
Awesome, but needs some polish. Mostly with state changes and start/stop of the app. I'd like it to auto start when charging, and auto stop when I remove from charger. I think it's supposed to do that, but it seems to get confused often. I have tried multiple settings for this. Love the app overall! Hope more widgets continue to be added also.
★★★★★Alex Naude· May 15, 2026
Been using this app on and off for 3 years now. I purchased pro in 2023. I can say I am, infact, satisfied with my purchase.
★★★★☆bijoy Francis· Jun 28, 2026
I have purchased, but it asks for purchase again .and I was expecting to work with charging but I have to start it manually.
★★★★★Nef (Nef)· Jun 26, 2026
Downloaded this for myself and my wife - we are using S26 Ultras. It works and looks great, but the phone is getting hot while wireless charging with this app running.
★★☆☆☆David Deutsch· May 14, 2026
Very confusing. I installed it because I wanted a screensaver (that comes on when plugged in) that will show me some widgets AS A SCREEN SAVER. The app fires up when I connect the charger but after a while the app itself has a screensaver that shows both but a clock.

App DOES NOT auto launch when plugged in even if set up to do so. Have to manually launch which defeats the purpose of StandBy
★☆☆☆☆Thomas H· Apr 15, 2026
Asking for purchase despite being a premium user. Restore purchase fails. Seems very scammy, beware!!
