User Reviews

Brightness Switcher is a lightweight, simple brightness control widget appreciated for its ease of use and customization of brightness levels. Users find it handy for quick toggling and better than some built-in auto dimmers. However, the app has not been updated for years, causing compatibility and accuracy issues, especially on Android 9 and above. Brightness levels often do not correspond perfectly to system brightness, and widget customization options are limited. Some users experienced it not working on their devices, affecting overall reliability.

Pros

Simple and easy to use brightness control widget.
Allows customization of brightness levels.
Still functional on newer Android versions despite lack of updates.
No ads and lightweight app.
Helpful for quick brightness toggling and preferred over built-in auto dimmer.

Cons

Not updated for many years, leading to compatibility issues on Android 9 and above.
Brightness levels set by the widget are often inaccurate or don't match system brightness (e.g., 50% sets to 49%, mismatch between widget and system).
Cannot resize or reorder brightness level settings in the widget.
Lack of customization options such as minimalistic widgets or slider bars.
Some users report the app does not work at all on certain devices or Android versions (notably Android 9).
