Comments on Keep Alive for Android

★★★★★ John Chiurato · May 22, 2025

I'm testing this app to purposely send alerts to make sure it doesn't "drop the ball". I had a similar app I ended up deleting since on two separate occasions it didn't send alerts out for several days. The excuse was their servers were down. This app seems contained within your phone not relying on any external technology. I gladly pay an annual subscription for something that works flawlessly since I live alone and have pets. So far so good. I'll update when my testing is done.

★★★★☆ Dana · Oct 14, 2024

I love the idea. I have a problem though. When I push "test alert call" it makes the call, and I can see it set it to speakerphone, but it turns back off. I tried it with my default phone app, and the one from Google. My default app (Motorola Phone) starts with speakerphone turned on, but it turns off when the call answers. The Google phone app starts with speakerphone turned off, then I see it turn on for an instant then turn back off.

It's the industries standardsed else set said set name as bolded to be industry standard for this type of fix bypass work through work around and repair technician manual for modern mobile computing.

★☆☆☆☆ Katie Osterhout · Jan 18, 2026

This app is really useful for my situation and the Dev had prompt feedback to my questions. Edit: Had the app go off without warning. I guess it's not idiot-proof. On the good side it worked when placing SMS and call. It needs some work on simpler kinds of phone activity detection and interface improvement for people who are not tech-savvy.

★☆☆☆☆ Lotus · Jan 13, 2026

Try to test with 2 phone numbers and none of them received texts... doesn't seem to work anymore.
