I am new to Apple devices and miss my always on display feature on my Samsung!! I’ve been looking for an app just like this and it is NOT fair that they give you that false hope of providing an always on display feature and it is not the case. You need to open the app and leave the screen unlocked for the screen to show. Which is not at all something I will do. Waste of money. ### 4/5 — Works well, but dead project *2018-12-25, version 1.3.1.1* No updates in seven months, but it works ### 2/5 — Battery Drainer *2018-12-21* This app drains too much battery, I have tried all colour combinations on my iPhone X that is available on this app to save battery but it drains like crazy. Please also had a proximity sensor so when I block the sensor then the screen goes black and doesn’t drain battery. ### 2/5 — Can't open in the shortcuts app for automation *2018-09-25, version 1.3.1.1* I noticed I can't use Myla in the shortcuts app. The app doesn't come up when I use "Open App". What gives? ### 3/5 — Wheather location *2018-06-28, version 1.3.1.1* We need wheather location on the next update pls make it happen **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your feedback! I'am currently working on new features, weather forecast included, that will be available as soon as possible! ### 3/5 — Not an always on for documents *2018-05-06, version 1.3.1.1* I was looking for an always on clock for my document while i am teaching. This one does not do that. **Developer response:** Hi, I would be glad if you would wrote an email to blackcodedeveloper@gmail.com explaining better what the problem is; this way I will be able to do my best in order to help you! ### 4/5 — Good app *2018-03-07, version 1.2.1* Had problems with it at first but developer responded. **Developer response:** Sorry for the support link, but I'm working on a proper support site that will be available in the next weeks. Anyway, the problem you are having is very strange! During the tests I have never seen something similar and no one else is complaining about that; I will do my best to figure out where the problem is in order to ensure you the best experience possible.I hope you can accept my apologies for the issue ### 3/5 — Save your money *2018-02-23* Typical, says a lot but does nothing. What a waste of money. **Developer response:** Please can you explain what the app doesn't do? I think it does everything you can read in the description ### 3/5 — Good but not great. *2017-12-20* This is a brand new app so I’m trying to take that into consideration. Some things that would make a big difference. 1) font size is much too small. At least allow this to be customizable. Having font options in general would be nice as well. 2) the color picker is a disaster. Simply by allowing using to choose from a limited pallet if you must but it’s not great now. Having in line demos would be great as well. 3) some explanation in the setting section would be a very easy win here. What is “speed”? What isn’t it just slow, med, fast? Could they have a demo mode? What is “separator” etc... Happy to change my star rating when updates are applied :-) **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and for your suggestions! I will update the app within the next two week to add new features and to fix all the problems you mentioned ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Always on display *2021-10-18* I was under the impression it would stay on when the phone was locked. Not always on display ### 1/5 — Is not as described *2021-01-03, version 1.3.1.1* Limited options on iPhone12 ### 1/5 — No date *2020-05-16, version 1.3.1.1* App lists it shows the date but it doesn’t nor is there an option. I removed the app for this reason. ### 1/5 — Not fully customisable as stated *2020-02-27* Can’t set the app to come on at certain hours ### 1/5 — Didn’t work as expected *2019-03-24, version 1.3.1.1* I though this would stay on when the lock screen engaged, it doesn’t. Please refund my money. ### 1/5 — Almost Perfect (Updated Review) *2018-12-01, version 1.3.1.1* the developer confirmed the clock will eventually default to digital with no way to select the analog version. it does what it advertises, just know you'll be stuck with a digital clock... even on the paid version. UPDATE would be nice to have the app load with the last clock used, but appreciate the clarification and have updated my review accordingly. thank you! **Developer response:** Hi! I think I misunderstood your question, you can choose between the analog face and the digital one swiping on the face itself (left or right, each swipe change between the two modes). In the future it will be possible to choose a default face, but the analog face is already here! ### 1/5 — Battery drainer *2018-09-30, version 1.3.1.1* I would like my money back I installed your app on my xs max at 11 am on the lowest brightness setting it is now 11:49 am and lost 7% of battery!!! Unacceptable ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2018-09-19* Doesnt even replace the lock screen have to leave app open.... waste of time and money ### 1/5 — It’s mildly functional *2018-08-04, version 1.3.1.1* You have to open the app for it to run... be careful, don’t hit the sleep/wake button because it will enable the apple factory background/wallpaper. **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for the feedback! At the moment, due to limitations in what apps can do, it is not possible to implement a fully functional always-on display. Anyway, I will do everything possible to keep improving Myla, adding new features and optimizing it! ### 1/5 — DO NOT PURCHASE. IT’S CRAP *2018-01-04, version 1.1.1* Always on screen they said, but you need to run the app to get the always on, it doesn’t pop on when the screen goes to sleep. It’s pointless paying for this. **Developer response:** Leaving the app open is the only possible way to implement an always-on display that would not ruin your iPhone X display ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App Suggestions *2018-12-01, version 1.3.1.1* I love the app so far. The only thing that I thing the app would need to make the app better is if weather displayed along with the time and date and battery. I think if you added this, there would be a better use for this app besides what it already does! ### 5/5 — Great!!! *2018-09-10, version 1.3.1.1* Exactly what I was looking for and it works very well. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Great App *2018-05-10, version 1.3.1.1* I’d like to see “Current Location Weather degrees on the top or bottom of the time. Maybe a setting to turn on or off the weather. Thank you. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! This app is made to keep your iPhone display safe (even if you use it for long periods of time), so don't worry about burn in! EDIT: During the next days an update will be available with this and other minor changes, thanks for the suggestion! ### 5/5 — Simple and easy *2018-05-03* Just what I wanted for a bedside clock. I have tried so many but this one is the best by far. Support is great too **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! ### 5/5 — Great but please... *2018-02-12* Add a bigger font size. I’m blind without my glasses at nite time!! **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! A bigger font option (and other customisations) will be available in the March update! ### 5/5 — Simple and well laid out!!! *2018-01-08, version 1.2.0* I tried out about 20 clock apps to find something that would mimic the always-on clock that most other OLED phones have, and this was the best by far! Sure, there’s some customization options that are missing, but the app has been updated regularly with new stuff added each time. App stays open with no home bar, is very affordable, and doesn’t have any useless features or bloatware. Highly recommend if your looking to make your iPhone X a clock for your desk or nightstand. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! I will keep adding new features and options with the next updates to let you customise more and more aspect of the app! ### 5/5 — UPDATE: REALLY GOOD APP *2018-01-07* I use this app for when I’m studying and its pretty cool. It prevents OLED burn ins by moving , looking forward to see more watch faces and styles and I would like a new battery charging indicator than a hexagon turning around. This is the only app that emulates an always on display, but please note that its an app and cannot be shown on your lock screen. Highly recommend **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! With the next updates I’ll add more customizations and options: new digital-watch faces are coming, such as new charging symbols and new fonts ### 4/5 — Myla Date Format *2020-01-06, version 1.3.1.1* It would be nice if the date format had different choices. Example: January 6, 2020. ### 4/5 — Great, but... *2019-06-26, version 1.3.1.1* Needs a landscape mode. ### 4/5 — Great app but *2019-01-09* Would be an awesome app but when you lock your phone it doesn’t stay on the phone has to be on for it to work, it would be an awesome app if I didn’t have to leave my phone unlocked. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
