Correct, apps can overwrite the automatic locking so if this is something you
want in Overcast I'd suggest it to the developer. In the Paprika recipe app
this is something you can either turn on or off in the Settings area of Paprika
and therefore it should be possible to be available in
There is no way other than tapping or flicking on the screen within every 5
minutes to keep it unlocked.
Or, like you say, setting the lock to Never while using that app.
Some apps, however, if you manually lock the phone when you start playing a
show will keep playing.
I think Overcast does,
