Android app of the week #2 – waveup

This week we will take a look at an app called waveup which helps us wake our phone screen without using the power button. This is especially handy for people who have old Android phones with worn out power button.

waveup is an easy to use app which runs in the background with very minimal resource all you have to do during set up is to enable it for it to run in the background. Just ensure that the battery optimisation is turned off for this app to function as shown below
Unlike other apps wave up has an uninstall option provides at the bottom of its app page 
which makes it easier for us to remove it incase the need for it is not required.
The app also has  device administrator privileges as an option just incase the user wants it to run in the background by default with full control 
The author behind the famous app scrambledexif is the one behind this too. There is also a paid version of this app to support the developer which is a Tasker plugin.
This app just needs phone permission to run and the only permission that it has by default 

The app works on the  no. of waves using your hand and it is set as 2 by default. It is recommended to not change this value to function in a way it should.

The app also has other options such as lock screen, pocket mode but it is just enough to run with the defaults.
Everything is just fine with this app when tested the only thing is there hasn’t been an update for a while from the developer for this app but still the last and the current version of this app v3.2.10 works without any flaw and this should do good for all.
Hope you all found this app useful will meet you with another interesting post soon. 
Thanks for reading
