Last year I gave this app 1 Star because it simply didn't work. Developers left comment saying "fixed, try again". They're right - it works now. Excellent - thanks

I love this app!! It gives you the choice to pick which apps stay alive and as i only wanted it for phone calls as my screen kept going black during a call even with smart stay, its perfect. A☆☆☆☆☆

Supposed to prevent the phone screen from shutting of. It doesn't. As soon as a call I'd answered the screen is of and can't be turned back on. Useless

I really like this app. Bought the premium and loved it up until recently. Now it just says: Stay Alive has stopped. -Close App. -Send Feedback. I've decided to go with "Keep Screen On"

It didn't work for me after the basic configuration on android 7, Huawei mate 9. It did not keep the screen awake during plex playback. Waste of time.

Thanks. Useful once the setup options are fathomed. I like the ability to select the apps that I think need to stay on. I used my device's notifications settings to stop it distracting me needlessly on my lock screen, and now happy with this app.

I'm so so happy with this app. I was getting so mad at my Android tablet. Can't thank you enough. Now my screen will never turn off unless I want it to

Awesome app. Does exactly what it needs to do. Simple enough setup with all the options you need. Works much better than the alternatives, I gladly donated for the 'auto start on boot' feature, well worth it. Thank you!

So far really great! I thought what I needed was just a widget to toggle on and off the stay on screen function. This app trumps them all with per app stay on settings and full control of functions from the notification shade. Awesome! Think being at the airport with your electronic boarding pass. Rather than toggling on and off a widget set the flight app (Delta, American, United, etc.) as apps that the screen stays on. When you are getting close to the security checkpoint simple go to your app that has the boarding pass and walla! the screen stays on as long as you need it. Close the app and screen timeout resumes as normal. Just one of many uses!

Worked great but not anymore. The selected apps mode either doesn't stay awake for the selected apps or it stays awake for all apps. Look elsewhere

Can we raise the limit for Auto Pause to above 50% battery? 90% would be good.

The only selected apps mode is fantastic! Works great on my OnePlus One on both CM11S and Cyanogen OS 12 (I have not tried Oxygen and don't plan to). The dev is extremely helpful also if you run into any issues. 12/22/16 Update - Working great on Nexus 6P with 7.1.1 update. 6/11/2017 Update - Works with Android O Beta as well on Nexus 6P
