What is Always on Edge?
Always On Edge—also known as AOE—is an app made as a
substitute for the actual LED
that some phone models have. Its primary function is to light up the edges of your phones as a
notification
of incoming messages, calls, or other reminders. However, you can also use the app for many events, including fully charged, screen lock and unlock, headset plugged and unplugged, and many others.
Besides its many use, AOE also has
varied customization options
for the lighting color, style, and effect. You can turn on the LEDs for a specific color or create visually pleasing gradients by mixing up to three colors. Moreover, you can
differentiate setup for each event and app
, so you would know if its a call, chat, or an event notification. Furthermore, you can
adjust the brightness
to high or low to suit your needs. The app further extends its customizability by allowing the
screen light
to be fixed, moving around the screen, or blinking.
However, to get your desired effect, there will be
lots of tweaking needed
. The simple setting menu offsets it. However, if you want a customized setup, you will have to go through various options. Moreover, while many options are free, some require you to watch ads before you can use them. Lastly, since it uses lights, the app
eats up your battery fast
.
Add flair to your phone
All in all, Always On Edge is an
interesting customization tool
for your smartphone. The app works as an LED would by lighting up your phone to notify you. Not only that, it can also work to make your device
more visually pleasing
. However, the necessary learning curve can be a bit of a deal-breaker. Not to mention it will drain your battery quicker.
