About Keep Alive for Pokémon GO
Keep Alive is the tool you need to get the most out of Pokemon GO. From screen timeout management, to easy app launching, to lock screen and battery saver, this app does it all! Pattern lock screen option will be available in the next update!
Keep Alive does three amazing things for your Pokemon GO experience.
* It keeps your screen on whenever Pokémon GO is running, but ONLY when Pokémon GO is in the foreground. Automatically! You can also launch Pokémon GO directly from your notification bar.
* Incubate mode dims and locks your screen while you are incubating eggs or just travelling with Pokémon GO on in your pocket. This can save battery while still notifying you of nearby Pokémon! Triple-tap the screen to unlock the incubate screen or to view Pokémon through the viewport.
* It can restart Pokémon GO if you accidentally exit out while you have it set to Keep Alive (Heart button).
Constructive feedback is very much appreciated! I will address any issues and suggestions and if needed post updates within a day or two.
A future update is also adding a new feature for rooted users to turn off the screen and keep Pokemon GO running.
Permissions:
Draw over other apps - used to dim screen for incubate mode.
Device and app history - used to determine when Pokémon GO is running or stopped.
Boot complete - used to automatically restart Keep Alive when you restart your phone.
This app DOES NOT have any ads or internet permissions and can not export your personal information.
*Disclaimer - I am in no way affiliated with Pokemon GO, Niantic, or Nintendo. This app requires Pokemon GO to be installed.

App uses screen to block backlight which does not reduce power consumption. Only keeps app running

Works great. If you have a Xiaomi phone. Swipe down on the notification bar for keep alive to access the different modes for keep alive

Keeps your eggs incubating with minimal battery loss and your game alive in case you accidentally leave, all on the push of a button

This app doesn't work on my main phone (Xiaomi Mi 3), every time I start it, it ask for "Permit Usage Access", even if I have enabled it for the app. I also don't get the "Incubate" and "Keep alive" notifications in the notification bar. I'm not sure how much of an issue this is, or if it would require root access to do. But in any case it doesn't prevent the phone being locked, and when unlocked, it resets the "Incubate" and "Keep alive" options to their default.

Once the Incubation Option is engaged, I can't find a way to disengage it. Nor can I close the app or turn off my phone.. forcing me to pull the battery. (Galaxy S5 Active) -Solved by Publisher Response. Thank You!

Does exactly what it says.. incubating eggs alone was worth the purchase..

Works great and definitely helps with walking around at work without disrupting the game in my pocket. The incubate mode helps conserve battery life tremendously so that I can continue hatching eggs. Still vibrates to let me know when a pokemon is near!
