## Review summary

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).
