Review summary

Users praise Screen & Notifications Dimmer for strong, flexible dimming and ease of use, with features like scheduling and per-app dimming. It helps reduce eye strain and PWM headaches and remains reliable across devices. Common downsides include inconsistent dimming across some apps, persistent permission prompts, occasional failures to auto-enable after updates or in battery-saver modes, and rating prompts plus LCD compatibility caveats. Overall, a lightweight, effective night-use dimmer with a solid feature set.

Pros

Extremely effective dimming beyond the phone's native brightness limits via a color overlay.
Very easy to use with shake-to-dim and a handy quick actions panel.
Feature-rich: auto scheduling, per-app dimming, hex color filter, and generally low ads.
Helps reduce eye strain and PWM headaches, especially useful for night use and very dark content.
Long-term reliability and broad device compatibility, with users keeping it for years

Cons

Dimming is not consistent across all apps or content; some elements may override the dimmer.
Repeated permission prompts appear even when the feature is already enabled.
Not always automatically re-enabled after updates or when entering low power mode.
Rating/feedback prompts can be annoying for users.
May not look perfect on LCD screens or have some compatibility quirks on certain devices

2026-07-23	me*****	Basically spyware disguised as a helpful tool. I'm surprised this is allowed on Play Store & I have yet to see another reviewer speaking about this; their Privacy Policy states, in short, that you automatically consent for your data and cookies to be sent out and used / stored / shared etc the moment you install and use the app, and the only way to opt out is by uninstalling it. Not to mention that they of course try to claim that the reason for this is to keep the cost of the app low.

2026-06-21	Sh*****	i love it but it keeps resetting itself out of nowhere when i try to turn it on. it either shuts off when i'm in game or randomly asks for me to grant it accessibility permissions, even when i already have SEVERAL times. it worked perfectly fine when i first installed it, but over the last few months it's become a pain to deal with 🫩

2026-06-19	At*****	completely adjustable screen darkness and remembers your setting that you last used so you can just toggle a little slider to turn it back on. you don't have to adjust it every time which is a really good feature. this helps me a lot at night when I want to get tired but I don't want the blue light from my phone telling my brain to not get sleepy. honestly one of my favorite apps ever!
