However, multiple users report that the app becomes unstable or crashes following Android updates. A common complaint is that essential features are locked behind a paid upgrade, disappointing users who expect a fully free experience. Compatibility issues on certain Samsung devices and touch unresponsiveness after updates are also noted. Developer responsiveness and quick fixes receive positive remarks. ### Pros - Effectively keeps the screen awake during phone calls and specific use cases, reducing frustration for users with limited hand mobility. - Highly customizable with many options to tailor screen-on behavior to user preferences. - 'Smart Awake' and eye-tracking features work well and are appreciated by users. - Responsive and helpful developer support with quick updates and fixes. - Premium version offers superior features that some users find worth purchasing. ### Cons - The app often stops working properly after Android system updates, causing crashes or loss of functionality. - Many useful features, including eye tracking, are locked behind a paywall, leading to disappointment among users expecting a free app. - Some Samsung devices experience compatibility issues, where the app fails to keep the screen on despite configurations. - Issues with unresponsive screen touch when the app is enabled after recent Android updates. - Limited maximum awake time in the free version (e.g., 120 seconds), which some users find insufficient compared to native options. ## Similar extensions and apps - [Screen Awake - Keep It On](https://chrome-stats.com/d/biz.softwareits.screenawake) — 7,530 users, 4.00 / 5 - [Screen Awake 2](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.diegoyarza.screenawake2) — 333 users - [Wakey: Keep Screen On](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.doublep.wakey) — 825,797 users, 4.65 / 5 - [Keep Screen Alive](https://chrome-stats.com/d/org.mobpage.keepscreenalive) — 2,041 users - [Stay Awake - Keep Screen On](https://chrome-stats.com/d/org.hatapps.stayawake) — 587,832 users, 4.24 / 5 - [Always On Timer - Screen Awake](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.always.on.timer.app) — 53 users - [Stay Awake](https://chrome-stats.com/d/roperdev.app.stayawake) — 3,523 users - [Screen On - Stay Awake](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.aliv3.screenon) — 18 users - [ScreenOn: Keep Screen Awake](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.screenon.app) — 56 users - [StayAwake: Keep Screen On](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.eraevidence.stayawake) — 168 users - [Keep Screen On](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.januszs.keepscreenon) — 2,915 users - [Stay Awake: Keep Screen On](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.hellomarketing.stayawake) — 81 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.gilapps.screenon)
