### 5/5 — Best app for violin

*2026-07-06*

It keeps my screen open while I’m playing music, I dont need to pause to tap my screen. And it’s not a clutter or in the way of my music

### 5/5 — Brilliant app

*2026-06-22*

Works exactly as advertised! Phone stays unlocked. The PIP can be scaled down in size and moved around, so it doesn’t get in the way.

### 5/5 — Like the name says

*2026-06-08*

Does exactly what it purports to do without a bunch of clutter.

### 2/5 — Closest thing to amphetamine for Mac

*2026-05-14*

It keeps the screen on using pip and you can still hear sounds from music apps or video apps even though the description says it's not possible. 

This must be an outdated description but it works and you can swipe the pip off like a FaceTime video and it still works.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback 😊. What else can I do so you can give 5 stars instead of 2?

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-03-27*

Does what it says on the tin! Simple and effective… thank you,
