Dynamic Island for Android

GoanGeek — Thu, 29 Sep 2022 16:00:51 GMT

Lovely people

Just saw Sakitech (youtuber) showcasing this app on how to get the iPhone 14 dynamic island ( dynamic spot) on your android phone. Available in the Google store.

Seemed pretty cool and thought I'd share it with you guys if it interests some of you.

I personally won't be downloading or installing it as I don't won't to loose the top space on my phone and in no way promoting it or affiliated with it.

Those feeling brave and installed it do let us know how it goes .

I've got it on my A53 5G. Purchased the pro version. Works excellent as the developer is always tweaking/adding new features to the app.

Thanks for the update.

Are you happy with extra amount of space it's taking on your phone?

Yes, I'm happy with it. Worth every penny 👌. It's still in development but he's always updating it. Looks cool when the pop up arrives and you can expand the notifications.

Folk interested can let us know how it goes, do not think I am that keen to go for it myself. May not always work perfectly mind you https://www.theverge.com/2022/9/22/23366972/android-dynamic-island-spot-app-androidos

I downloaded it recently, and
although the developer has done a great job, it's actually pretty pointless. Everything it shows can be just as easily accessed via the notification shade and at times the island covers over icons on your taskbar, depending on what and how many icons you currently have.
Each to their own, but not for me

Wasn't dynamic island, Apples way of covering that huge notch?

It is reminiscent of lg v20's second screen. But I don't get the excitement really.

Genuinely would use the app,but it seems pointless for me in the regard that I cannot disable Pop-up notifications right now.

Using the Samsung Note 20, disabled every app under the "included app" tab as well as just disableing some apps under "recent" that are the main ones sending notifications, but still the issue persists that I get notification pop ups
