I made GPS Navigation app. I need to config the idle screen for use this
app each time :(
I'd need to set the screen = ON always.

I'm receiving bad user reviews too in the Store because of this (for
example, review of Jun 6 or 4, 2015)

" The only minor flaw so far is that it lets the screen dim even if screen
lock is off - it would be nice to be able to disable that."
"screem auto dims even if I change Bq phone settings."
"has no option for always on screen wich goes dark after 1 min "
" the screen turns almost down even if I set the never sleep option up"

For a video apps it would be useful too.

Best regards!
