It would be really helpful if there is a button or option that will ensure that Explorer for ArcGIS remains active and the screen does not dim or go to sleep. I often find that I am travelling with the device on, and plugged into a car charger, and it allows me to navigate/orient myself with various map content, or finding features. However the screen may go to sleep and then I have to try and unlock the device before map shows the map again. This can be dangerous when your eyes are off the road for too long.
I also found in areas with weak connectivity that I dreaded the device going to sleep as I was not guaranteed of having the same content visible once the device was activated again.
Having an option that will force the app to stay active and not go to sleep will really help.
