I tried more applications to have the screen on for selected applications, but I sticked to this one as this was the one working as expected with a simple and functional interface.

Does not appear to work on my phone. Apps are not sorted. Intended behavior is not clear

I cannot believe the stock Android doesn't have this feature. The Developer keep awake doesn't really work (the screen still dims) but this is excellent. Set it to keep the screen on for apps I know I shall need that (Google Maps and Viewranger) and Robert is your mother's brother. Also a nice little lightbulb in the notification bar to tell you when it's keeping the screen on. Big 👍 to the developers.
