Review: Insomnia App


Everyone likes a useful iPod/ iPhone application. Insomnia is one of my favorites and it can only be downloaded to a jailbroken device via the Cydia Installer.


What it does: Insomnia prevents your device from going to sleep, which enables your applications to continue running in the background and your wifi to stay connected after your screen shuts off.
Pros: You can continue downloading your movies, apps, music and whatever without worrying about losing connection.
Cons: The only negative comment I can say about this application is that if you mistakenly leave it enabled you will lose a lot of battery.
Other Thoughts: The only con listed is a fault of your own so its still an excellent application. When it is enabled, a simple icon appears next to the battery meter.With the switch for SBsettings you can easily enable and disable Insomnia whenever. I personally hide the app using SBsettings and then just use the SBsettings switch, making it simply and sleekly integrated with your iPod. Overall, Insomnia is a great app, useful and easy to use.
