Top 5 Always on Display Apps

The Always on Display feature is a great addition to Android phones. It takes advantage of the OLED panels found in most modern smartphones to show you just enough information to let you know the time and what’s going on with notifications, without wasting battery life.

The only downside is that it can be a bit hard to customize this feature, especially if you’re not a professional software developer. But luckily, there are a few third-party apps that can help you customize this feature and make it look the way you want.

On Edge

This is a full-fledged customization app that allows you to add different clock faces, visual elements, and more to your device’s Always on Display screen. It also comes with a few other features, such as burn-in protection and the ability to change the blink duration of the notification LED.

Custom AOD

This free app lets you use any of your images or gifs to create an always on display animation. However, it’s a bit buggy and doesn’t offer many other customization options. You can, of course, upgrade to a premium version for even more features.

NotifyBuddy

If you’re tired of the drab white always-on-display that comes standard with most Android devices, NotifyBuddy can restore your old notification LED. Unlike most Always on Display apps, NotifyBuddy isn’t actually an always on display app at all, but it does bring back the notification LED on an application-by-application basis so you don’t have to worry about it missing whenever you receive a new notification.

Besides bringing the notification LED back, NotifyBuddy also offers you some additional customizations, such as the ability to customize the size of the notification LED, and select which apps will have it displayed when you receive a notification. You can also set a specific color for each app’s notification LED.

Always On Notifications AMOLED

If you own a Samsung Galaxy S8, S9, or S10 with an AMOLED screen that supports Always on Display, this is the perfect app for you. The developer of the app has released a recent update that adds some additional features, including the option to automatically turn off AOD as soon as you clear the list of incoming notifications.

Aside from this, the application also lets you set a schedule for the notifications. This means that the app will only come on when you’re expecting a certain type of notification, such as a phone call or text message.

Another advantage of this app is that it has a simple interface and doesn’t consume too much battery power. This, of course, makes it a good choice for those who don’t want to pay for the pro version.

Wallpapers

If you’re a fan of beautiful things or you just love art, then this app is for you. Its wallpaper collection will keep your device’s screen looking beautiful and stylish. It offers over 200 different wallpapers that you can download immediately after downloading the app.
