Samsung Good Lock 2023 | Android 13, One UI 5.0
Good Lock is an app developed by Samsung exclusively for Galaxy devices. It provides several One UI customization services (modules) by which you can make your mobile interface more beautiful and easy to use. Hopefully, Samsung will launch Good Lock 2023 for eligible Galaxy devices soon.
On Android 13-based One UI 5.0, multiple apps and modules of Good Lock have stopped working because of compatibility issues with this new One UI version. Since the customization of the UI is based on the operating system, the company needs to re-optimize Good Lock to bring One UI 5.0 support.

Some Galaxy users have reported a recurring issue with the Samsung LockStar app, where notifications regarding the app’s status and editing options are unexpectedly displayed. This issue continues even when the camera is activated from the lock screen, which leads to an interruption in the user experience.
Samsung is already aware of the issue and a community moderator has confirmed that pop-ups initiated by activating the Lockstar shortcut are not behaving as expected.

The company has apologized for the inconvenience caused by this error and assured users that a resolution is coming with future app updates.
Aside from this, the Good Lock team is also working to solve the AOD issue. Recently, users encountered an issue with the LockStar app, where the Always On Display (AOD) preview does not match the actual display after the setting. This difference is particularly noticeable with the size of the notification icon.
Samsung LockStar offers a vast customization for lock screens on Galaxy devices. The upcoming updates are expected to enhance the user experience by eliminating disruptive notifications and improving the Always On Display feature.
Users are advised to keep their app updated to the latest version to benefit from the improvements and continue enjoying a seamless experience.
