    Thread 3rd Party USEFUL Always On Display app?

    Coming from a Droid Turbo, Moto's AOD was awesome. Always showed me the time and icons for any notifications - if I wanted more info, I tapthe notification and get a peek (still on AOD) at the info, then could open my phone directly to that app by dragging up. In contrast, I find Samsung's AOD...
