Ratings and reviews

love this app! it works exactly as described in my Google Pixel 2, simple and easy to use with a variety of options. I added a button to my notification area so with a swipe and a tap i can enable Screen On. My small gripe is that as soon as it is enabled, it uses a persistent notification which clutters the notifications. UPDATE: changed to 5 stars after Dieter explained the background service: it is needed to listen to global events like headset plugged, screen off, etc.

Since going to Pie I could not figure out how to prevent the screen from dimming while charging even though I have the always-on developer option enabled. I just want it to stay on AND bright while plugged in, and this app takes care of that. Nice options too for how and when it is enabled. Too bad this stuff just isn't integrated into the OS.

Used to work like a champ when I first downloaded it, but I think an update to my Samsung Galaxy J7 Refine is making it so it doesn't work when it's not charging without constantly reactivating the app. EDIT AND UPDATE: I figured out that you can MANUALLY give app all permissions and force the phone to obey the app. Now, it works like a charm! Second Edit. I thought my trick worked, but the app keeps disabling itself. I need to find a way for it to stay on...

What's new

v1.3.8
- Enable for selected apps fixed for Android 11

v1.3.5
- Notification Screen On won't work on Samsung devices with Android 10. It will work on other devices with Android 10 (excluding Huawei, Xiaomi and One Plus). I can not change this, as the manufacturers modified Android so th wakelock Screen On uses, does not work (Must likely due to power saving issues). Sorry for any inconveniences.
