Does literally nothing but tell you if your phone can sleep (something settings and quick bar can tell you by default) There are no settings or options whatsoever. Why does this worthless app even exist??

Used for years and love it. Stopped working when my phone just updated to Android 12. Hopefully dev is still involved.

Great app. Simple, does exactly what it needs to without quirks. Also there's a handy widget.

I dunno, this used to work great on my last phone but on my current Galaxy note 10, it stops keeping my phone awake on its own and the screen always goes dark still. Any ideas how to fix it?

Concept is good but after a half hour, my screen went to sleep even though I had turned this app on to keep the screen awake. Running Android 11, One UI 3.1 on S20 Ultra.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. No ads. No reminders to rate. I never had any lag or crashing. I am barely aware that this isn't a built in feature of my phone. Protip: Double tap the rectangle button thing to quickly switch to the last used app. Very useful with this one.

I was using this app for more than one year. Thank you developer for providing us a simple app that works without any adds. But I wanted to have some more options like the app will not cease to work even after I turn off my screen for a while and turn it back on. So I'm uninstalling this app to find better alternative. Good bye and thanks again to the developer.

Edit: I changed to a Samsung S20+ this year when my Motion died and for the first time in several phones the app doesn't work. I have checked battery optimization and everything I can configure, but it does not stay running. Sad because I really love the app. Keeping 3 stars because it may be just Samsung and not others. Among all my apps, none deserves 5 stars more than this one. Easy to set up. I use the widget to quickly switch it on, it works without fail. No ads or hidden stuff. Love it.

Have been using for three years now. It was the best app until recently I switched over to OnePlus device and found that the app doesn't work well with Oxygen OS. It was disappointing since on older devices, it used to work like charm. I think the developer needs to revive this app (last updated in 2018) and optimise it for newer devices. PS: As suggested by developer, I have already tried halting battery optimization on this app but the app still doesn't work as intended.

I don't know if it needs an update but it no longer works on my Samsung Note 10+...useless until it gets fixed
