Smart Stay +

This application is designed for people exasperated with the device automatic screen off feature when reading or using android devices.

This service app uses the front facing camera to detect when you are looking at the phone and then makes sure the phone screen stays on!

The coolest feature of Samsung Galaxy devices has been improved and is now available on other android devices!

"+" embedded features for improved reading/watching experience (android 4.1 minimum):
- Night mode: Force screen on (useful when face detection not working - in the dark)
