BATTERY USAGE
It should be not significant. I experienced about 6 per cent extra consumption on the test device. However it can be much higher by often using the Rise to Wake feature. Thus, keep your phone face down if you want to save energy.

Is this a feature or a bad thing it kept my screen on with a timer counting up on my display timeout, and I couldn't change it until I uninstalled this app at least I found the culprit here that was making my battery drain

This app was working brilliantly at first, until my phone locked and my phone screen wasn't responding to touch. I could answer calls, so it wasn't the problem of the screen, it was the app. Horrible experience. I couldn't shut down cos it required typing the password. I had to drain my battery to shut down my phone. After getting my phone back on I quickly uninstalled the app. Bastard app.

Stupid app. It masters on screen time out settings and fixes it on 10 minutes and doesn't let me change it from 10 to 1 minute which leads wasting battery charge. In spite of modifying its own setup or the mobile's setup, nothing changes and still keeps the screen for 10 minutes!
