About KeepAwake

KeepAwake is a widget. Keeps screen on and prevents your device from dimming/turning off the screen. This is useful for times where you are reading some articles using the browser, maps or even playing Ingress; and you don't want the screen to keep dimming or turning off.

KeepAwake auto turns off when you manually switch off your phone. So if you forget to turn it off, it's ok.

You can now resize the widget in the home to make it bigger.

Hope you enjoy this app.

Tested on HTC Desire/Froyo/Nexus 4/Galaxy Nexus. Email me if there are any problems.

Please fix this. The icon retracts to its original size as soon as I let go of the widget, when made smaller. Its physically larger than every other icon on my home screen. I'm running the latest firmware; v 6.01, AT&T Galaxy S6. Otherwise, the app does work as advertised.

Give us an option to use the app just by simply tapping on it without having to put its widget in the desktop at all?

The widget is so ugly! If it looked like a standard icon I'd use it but I'm going to a competing app. Theirs is ugly too but less ugly.

Great!! For when you just don't want to keep typing the password to your phone everytime you put down. Whoever came up with this app, needs to keep making updates to make the app even better. As of right now I have no complaints, this is 1 of the best apps created and it is certainly in my top 5 . This is a must have app for every Android user, there isn't a day where are don't use this application.
