User Reviews

Reviewers praise Screen On for being lightweight, reliable when it works, and effective at keeping the display alive, with some even using it on older devices. It also offers handy shortcuts and could be a built-in Android feature. However, repeated crashes and instability across devices, plus compatibility issues with newer Android versions (notably Android 15) and Samsung devices, dampen the experience. Additional setup requirements (notification permissions) and a steep widget learning curve add to the negatives.
Pros
  • Keeps the screen on indefinitely / long screen-on capability.
  • Lightweight and lean footprint.
  • Does what it promises and is reliable when it works.
  • Useful on older devices / phones that would otherwise turn the screen off.
  • Provides quick access to screen-on via shortcuts (pull-down menu) and a convenient workaround.
Cons
  • Crashes / instability across devices and Android versions.
  • Not working on latest Android versions and specific devices (Android 15, Samsung devices).
  • Always-on feature activation not reliable; screen still turns off.
  • Requires notification permission to function; without it the app crashs.
  • Steep learning curve and suboptimal widget design; lacks customization.
