Awesome if it would not stop running. I really value my screen on when I am on a phone call. If I open the app and make a call, it works. When I call later, it has stopped and no longer keeps my screen on. I have done all actions from the developer: allow this app to draw over other apps and never be put to sleep. I also turned off my adaptive battery and put unused apps to sleep. I currently have Android 13. Even as inconsistent, it works better than any other and can be turned on during a call

Hi, thanks for reaching out. The issue is that Samsung is killing the app. Read how to fix the issue here: https://dontkillmyapp.com/samsung#android-11 or feel free to send me an email! Thanks for updating the review. I will keep investing to understand why you're facing this issue. Note that restarting the app every 24 to 72 hours is expected.

Pay-walled basic functionality and "free demo" is a lie. Requires credit card and auto-subscription that you must manually turn off (illegal and disgusting). [Update responding to Developer response which is now gone] No, you are lying. This app DOES require a credit card, which makes it NOT a free trail (to correct you). Also, you do not need to charge for development costs, you can pay for that out of pocket, thanks.

Hey RenewAgain, we're sorry for any confusion. The free trial does not require payment. You can cancel the free trial at any time without being charged. The app is not free because it needs to make money in order to pay for development and customer support.

for some reason everyday I have to turn the app back on to enable it. It doesn't work for incoming calls with the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. Even though I already reviewed this app it still asks me for a review which is annoying so I removed a star and decided to write about the negative points. I used to give it four stars now it's three because it doesn't stop bothering me to ask for a review. also, the screen does not stay on for incoming calls on my Samsung s22 or Samsung s23.

Hey Neil, make sure to have disabled battery optimizations to make sure the app runs for as long as possible. Android will eventually stop it - which will require restarting the app. As for phone calls, could you send us more info at support@doubleape.com? as for rating-unfortunately it's impossible to know if someone already rated the app or not.
