I used to use Stay Alive on my Galaxy phone and tablet. But yheyniwseem to have failed; don,t think it is being maintained any longer.

Can anyone suggest a reliable replacement; I don,t mind paying.

Main requirement is detect when charger connected and certain apps running so screen stays on. Most use is in my car. Using Google maps to navigate.

Any advice please
 
I'm not sure how long you have been using this app, but many apps will now keep the phone awake. I know for a fact that my screen does not turn off when I use Google Maps for navigation and I'm connected to a charger. I think it stays on even when it isn't charging, but I'd have to verify since my car cradle doubles as a wireless charger.
