You wish to have the “Always On” feature on the two recent Samsung flagships, Galaxy S7, S7 Edge, S8 or even LG G5 but no way for now because of your budget or you just don’t want them.
Glance Plus works like the Always On feature to smartphones

Always On is a feature that lets your device to display information about the current time, date, battery level, weather and notifications without unlocking the screen.

This feature is mainly useful for people who cannot help but keep turning on their display constantly, maybe looking for new notifications, which seriously drain their battery. But, not everybody that does this has the Always On feature on their smartphone. However if your smartphone has an AMOLED display you can get this feature on your phone through an app called Glance Plus.

Here’s how the app works. Glance Plus takes advantage of your phone’s proximity sensor to allow you check the time, weather forecast, notifications and various useful information, all without unlocking your screen. this means it is a mix of Always On and Ambient Display. Once you install in the app, you get to customize every detail of the app, from the font of the display to the position of the information you want displayed, to the size and color of the displayed text.Glance Plus

You have the option to make full use of the Always On function on Glance Plus only when your device is charging. After charging, you can view the date, time and notifications by swiping your hand over the proximity sensor. You can also choose to enable the feature anytime you pull out the phone from your pulse or pocket through the Settings menu or as soon as the display is turned off.

If you possess a device with an AMOLED screen it’s advisable to set the position of the displayed information to Random. This is to avert a burn-in effect, which is a permanent “ghost image” caused by displaying static content for too long.


Glance Plus is a good substitute to Always On for folks who want to see information without unlocking their phones. Unfortunately, though, this app does not completely replace the feature, but the app is reasonable, and will improve with upcoming updates.
