Updated text in the accessibility service used on ancient Android versions to ensure this app is compliant with Google Play policies, and disabled it completely on non-ancient devices. This update also contains some changes to ensure the app works on the latest Android versions.
PS: Even though I said I won't update the app anymore, the "simple light" theme just got Android Oreo styling. 😉

Heads-up Notifications 1.12.1 APK

Requires Android: Android 3.1+

What's New:

I got an email from Google telling me Heads-up was about to be removed because it didn't "provide prominent user facing disclosure before asking the user to enable the Device Administrator permission". So, now there's an additional warning before enabling that permission, and you'll have to stare at it for a least five seconds. As you might know already, you don't have to grant this permission unless you are affected by a very rare bug.
PS: Thank you for still using Heads-up! ;-)

Hi everyone!

As you might have noticed, I don't really have time to work on Heads-up anymore. Heads-up will keep working, but I won't add any new features. Maybe someday in the future :)

I'd like to say thank you for using Heads-up, leaving over 30,000 awesome reviews here on Play, sending me thousands of emails with feedback, and translating it into 30 languages. And of course a huge thank you to those who donated!

I'd never be able to pull this off without you!

Cheers,
Simen
