The app does what it's supposed to. I mainly use it to keep Spotify open, so when I use my phone mount to play music in my car, the app doesn't close. The only mainly annoying feature is when I receive a Facebook message and a Facebook chat head pops up on the screen, the screen will then immediately turn off. I imagine this is because Facebook messenger gets recognized as the active app, which isn't configured to be enabled in Caffeine. Other than that issue, it does what it's supposed to.

Great app! Sadly with Pie, it no longer let's me actually hide the
notification icon when it's idle, but minor inconvenience

Worked great for several years, but for the last several Android versions (on the Google Pixel) it's been causing my phone to frequently freeze up for anywhere from 5 to 30+ seconds (sometimes requiring a hard restart to recover). The freezes happen when interacting with the notification bar, and not even necessarily the persistent Caffeine notification - just any interaction involving pulling the drawer down would run a ~10% chance of a freeze. This hasn't happened once in over a week since I've disabled Caffeine, which is unfortunate, as I really loved the app.

It used to work fine. Since the Android 7 release on my Xiaomi MI5S it doesn't work any more. It shows "active" but the screen still turns off. Any idea how to fix this?
★★☆☆☆
After listening to Pandora for only 30-60 min, the music stopped & a
message would pop up on screen informing me that the station could no
longer load content. So i tried other stations but got more of the same
headache. Never had this issue before installing caffeine. I tried to
resolve r the problem with a restart, and caffeine didn't even load when i
started Pandora. I finally figured out how to fix it... I simply
uninstalled this & tried another app. I got the results i was looking for!
