User Reviews

Greyscale is praised for easy, quick toggling via a shortcut, with simple, efficient operation. However, reliability is inconsistent: many report the app won’t open or work on devices and that it often requires root or a PC/ADB, with confusing permissions and PC dependency that excludes many users. A few reviewers even question its legitimacy.
Pros
  • Easy quick access to greyscale via a shortcut or control center.
  • Simple, clean, and efficient to use; often described as perfect or excellent.
  • Positive overall reception with several users calling it the best app for greyscale.
  • No root required in at least one setup (ADB/PC) according to a reviewer.
Cons
  • App often fails to open or work on many devices.
  • Requires root or a PC/ADB to function; a major barrier for most users.
  • Permissions prompts are confusing or overly technical and can block access.
  • PC/ADB dependency excludes users without a PC (e.g., Chromebook).
  • Some reviewers question the legitimacy or reliability of the app.
