The only change I would like to see would be an OFF, or a disabler. Even when I slide the Luminosity to 0%, it's enabled. Difficult to kill it as a task without restarting the cell. I'm not convinced its a battery saver. Can someone offer insight here? It adds a layer on top of the screen -- it doesn't necessarily reduce the screen settings output, right? Even so, I'm glad to have it and use it all the time.

Highly recommended for ocular sensitivity! I get debilitating chronic migraines and over the last few years, this app is the only thing that allows me to use my phone, short of sunglasses in bed, even to simply answer a call. Lately it's had force close issues, so I uninstalled and reinstalled. Now it is fine. The only real reason I am giving a 4 is because there is no way to close the app. I usually clear the data in the app manager.

I have an android and this app crashes every 1-6 minutes, blinding me with bright light!!! Absolutely impossible! I report it every time, but the developers are obviously useless and don't care about their product or else they'd solve the problem with a simple update!!!

I love it for reading in the dark when I'm supposed to be sleeping :) It does save some part of the battery, Idk how, but I had it disabled for a while and my battery died at 4pm, while using Luminosity it lasts at least upto 10-11-00 pm. I do recommend it!

Discreet and easy on my eyes

Perfect for eyes in low lighting in bed, airplane, and discreet use in church or late night riding in a car. Easy to use. I know of no better product. The sensor is annoying because the screen is constantly changing brightness, so I don't use it, but then it's a pain when you have the screen turned down really low in your purse and go out in the bright sun - can't hardly tell the screen is on. But it's relatively easy to toggle from down swipe.

It works wonderfully for a very long while and extends the use of my charge immensely, but sometimes it just stops for no apparent reason. I recently formatted my SD card and phone to start from scratch. Looking forward to updates.
