Lock booster is a good app but I was facing the below issues while using it on my Redmi phone with MIUI (customized Android operating system).
1) Even after enabling floating windows permission, lock booster throws please turn on popup windows permission error whenever I pressed the power button to access the lock screen. Interestingly, this error was reported in a popup window. The developer of this app should fix this issue immediately as it is frustrating.
2) When the phone is powered on, the settings window shows up. This wastes battery power as settings module is loaded in system memory.
3) Notifications overlap each other and they are difficult to understand.
