The app is otherwise free to download and use but some of the advanced features will need the activation of the Pro version. The DynamicSpot Pro version is available for a one-time payment of $5 and users can use both, the free or paid version based on their requirement.

Once installed, the app will require some permissions to be able to function in its full capability. DynamicSpot might ask for the access to your notifications, which is needed to display them on the Dynamic Island. It will also need permission upon installation to draw overlays on the Android interface. This permission is needed for DynamicSpot to create different-sized black shapes.

DynamicSpot has an advantage that even the iOS 16 feature might not be able to offer. It offers the option to customise. The app provides users the option to be able to configure the alerts and also the option to alter the appearance of the app. While altering the appearance of the app, users can alter location on the screen, size, and degree to which its corners are rounded. Moreover, DynamicSpot users will also have the option to get two popup alerts at the same time whenever new information is received.

This means the app might have some bugs and will not be flawless. The two expected issues as per the developer would be in compatibility or the smoothness of the notch animations.
