Review summary

Users generally praise the app for being easy to use, free, lightweight, and effective at reducing blue light. However, frequent reliability problems with auto scheduling, security/permission concerns, and device/OS compatibility issues are commonly mentioned, along with mixed experience with the Pro version.

Pros

Easy to use with fast, one-click dimming
Free and lightweight with no ads
Helps reduce eye strain / blue light and protect eyes
Highly customizable brightness and dimming levels
Works as advertised across many devices

Cons

Reliability issues with auto/scheduling; may not activate at set times and can stop working
Pro version occasionally fails to deliver all promised features
Permissions and security concerns; requests broad control over the device
Device/OS compatibility problems (tablet/Kindle/external display support varies; some devices/OS versions break functionality)

2026-07-07	Jo*****	Really wanted to like this app, and I got real close to paying for it, until I realized almost daily I had to redo the accessibility setting, because according to my phone "this service is malfunctioning" so it literally could not be turned back on, without disabling the app in accessibility, and enabling it again and waiting for the 30 second prompt on my phone to allow me to click accept/ok. if it weren't for the constant "malfunction" I would have paid for pro.

2026-07-03	Ra*****	It's limited to 20% unless you pay. The notification doesn't provide any slider or buttons to adjust levels like commonly seen. And the "keep notification bar bright" setting doesn't work.

2026-06-17	Po*****	Very small download, works the best on Android 12 but on Android 14 it turns off after a random time, due to realme or Google permission turning off.
