I use Evernote on my phone when I teach a bible study since it has my notes in it, but I would love the option to keep the screen on; it's annoying and time consuming to have to unlock my phone every time I finish a point and need back in my notes.

While an option in the app would be nice, there are other ways to accomplish this.

I personally user Tasker to automate my phone to do things like this. (If X app is running, keep screen on.) It's an extensive app that can automate almost ANYTHING you want it to, but it is complex and a little bit pricey for an app.

If keeping the screen on is the only goal you're trying to accomplish, I would suggest trying out this app. I've never used it, but it looks to solve your problem.

There should to be a widget you can add to your Home screen which can toggle screen timeout. Not sure what it is called. Maybe power widget.

That's not nearly as effective as having something toggle it automatically.

I agree that I think it may be more related to the device than Evernote. My phone time's out rapidly, but my Galaxy Tablet will stay on forever in my cookbook holder.
