Two years with the app and I'm still very pleased with it. Easy to set up, clean looking, very few issues, and user friendly. All your apps are automatically moved here. Your choice to turn it on or off. Finally, using my phone for calls is no longer flashing then turning to solid black. It stays on perfectly now. Definitely recommend for all apps.

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.
