Review summary

Users praise the app for being free and providing a screen-darkening overlay, with some noting it can be touch-through and reasonably useful. However, many reports highlight that it does not offer true privacy (visibility from the sides), has device compatibility problems (especially on Samsung), includes ads/limited free features, lacks a quick-off toggle, and can be unreliable or intermittently stop working.
Pros
  • Free to use with no paywall
  • Overlays and darkens the screen to obscure content
  • Simple and lightweight to operate
  • Allows interaction with underlying apps (touch-through) while the overlay is active
  • Some users express positive sentiment like 'so far so good' or 'nice app' indicating perceived usefulness
Cons
  • Not a true privacy screen: content is visible from the sides and only partially covers the screen
  • Incompatible with some devices (notably Samsung) and Android overlay constraints
  • Ad-supported/free version with limited features and not convincing
  • No quick way to disable it (no notification toggle) and cannot be easily turned off
  • Reliability issues: overlay can cut out or stop working intermittently
