Currently, I am Using Samsung Galaxy S20 Fe 5G. Initially It Was Showing No Licence. Then It Worked And Changed Well To Always On. After Sometime To My Surprise It Again Showed No Licence. I Don't Know What Is The Issue. I Hope If This Is A Bug, It Should Be Fixed. I Wished To Give 5 Stars. But Some Of The Bugs Are Yet To Be Fixed. I Have To Uninstall And Redownload It In Order To See Always On. Otherwise, When It Shows No Licence I Have No Idea.

I'm a new user after it was recommended to me. The setup was great, made even easier by a visual step by step guide. Even though I know how to do those things (adding a button to the quick launch menu and adding a widget), I thought it was nice to have. Does what it says. I use it when downloading shows off my Tivo, which stops working when the screen goes to standby.

I forgot about this app, and uninstalled it back in 2020. I re-installed, bcuz I'm curious to know if the problem back then is fixed with the current version. It's not, still doesn't keep the screen On "when using the phone in speaker mode". Samsung phones are notorious turning the screen off after 20sec. I was hoping this app would keep the screen On. But it doesn't, the screen still goes Off after about 20 seconds.

I re-installed it when I got home from work & it's back to normal! I'm happy because I love this app! Thanks for the replys. I also installed it on a tablet that stays on about 2 seconds! The app's working great! Edit: All the sudden, the only choices are 10 minutes or 30 minutes. Where is Always On??? Please fix do I can once again - Love this app! Then I'll restore 5 stars.

Nice and handy except that the widget's tap action is a bit inconsistent. No setting to prevent loading at startup, not even by deleting widget. Contact Support, Tech Support Chat and Documentation all either Not Found or Service Unavailable.

The widget is confusing and doesn't work. All I wanted was a simple, straightforward widget. Press once, screen stays on. Press again, standard screen timeout resumes. This app does not provide this. A hot mess of settings the only the developer understands. Refunded. And No, developer, by default it absolutely does not work in simple way. Why does the widget say "30 minutes" when I tap it? That's not a permanent on, that's a 30 minute timer! 2 stars is now 1 star.

Despite being notified that upgrade now solved Android probs, this app STILL doesn't work. Custom application settings re 'time out' totally incomprehensible. Just make it so one tap keeps screen awake. Simple really
