BlackouT Screen Dimmer for Android
Does what it says it will but takes a little tweeking. Its a great app for reading at night and using GPS while driving / flying. Finally, can dim a screen enough to use it and keep your night vision! Remember to reset before getting back into the light though otherwise you have to go into a closet to turn your dimmer back up! Oh, just a note not a gripe, it will not save battery because it simply puts a dark filter on your screen, it DOES NOT dim your backlight.
My phones built in bright control was causing my turn on screen to fail-this app has saved me. The only drawback is I get overlay permissions screen pop up every time I need to add perms for other apps but a quick uninstall/ reinstall of black out fixes that as I can't figure out how to get to that overlay permission screen without it auto popping up. Great non invasive app tho, thanks!
It definitely dims the screen to almost pitch black, but when you do it takes up 25% of battery. It seems to be constantly on even when you set the level to no dimming. I suggest the night mode app since it has an on and off button.
Don't work half of the time runs in the background all the time uninstalling
It was the best screen dimmer app for me. But from today when i am trying to dark my screen it is automatically getting back to normal screen. Fix it please
For all of us who need just a little more darker than already dark.
NO PROPPER USE
This app is highly under rated. And this is the only app i use for making my screen dimmer than it is. Love this app so much.
Best screen brightness controll...i loved it ...thank you ..it works very good in my phone HTC DESIRE....
Utter crap!!
Easy to use, does exactly what it claims, makes using my tablet at night much easier on my eyes. Thanks!
The three touch buttons dosnt dim.....the back home and recent app buttons...fix it and take 5 star
Don't work half of the time runs in the background all the time uninstalling
Exactly what I needed!! I think it's great that I can adjust the dimmer to my liking.
I run video apps that pay me on 6 devices. This will extend the life of each one. I love it. Great on road trips too. If you are not driving and it is night this will help your eyes.
Leaves "blackout" watermark at bottom left and right of the web browser.
Does what it should, simply and cleanly. Bug on the Samsung Galaxy S7 - stops working if the screen overlay is turned off and back on, had to reinstall. But this is my 3rd phone with this app and I won't be without it. Well done!
Didn't dim toasts on Galaxy S5
I used it and my battery lasted long.....
Worked perfect. Samsung S3

its a good app you should download it , it works perfectly . I recommend this
The App now wants to run all the time, just started today. Even after force close it still pops up and starts messing with my screen Uninstalled.

A bit too dim but hey the name says it all.
Lots of controls to adjust to current light levels. Really helping keep my eyes from hurting at night! Buying the donate version.
This makes it as dark.as u.want
Works great!
Really reduces the light
Thanks
Best app
Just like iPhone
Awesome
Works perfect Great ever
Very good app
Very useful for using screen at Night time..
Hi. No problems so far. But I have to ask, why is the BlackouT logo on the bottom two cornera of my phone screen at all times? I turn it on at night and shutdown the app via the options in the morning but the logos are still there. Can you explain this to me so I dont think something crazy?
... i use at night for anything google because google wants to be bright white everything, GOOGLE YOUR NOT SAVING ELECTRICITY ON AMOLED SCREENS, you guys at google are rich, start making options for dark themes on your apps, and quit trying to save the Environment, save my EYES, I'm more important, geez. i guess wind power is so pollutant.
Finally I Got It What I Wanted :D

My galaxy s3 updated the other day and now my minimum screen brightness increased way to much. Out of all the apps I just searched, this is the only one that actually dimmed my screen below this new (way too bright) minimum setting. Also, thank you for not requiring you scan my calls to dim my screen like some of your competitor apps.
