Dimly did exactly what I needed; however, I had an other than normal situation in how I use this particular device. I encountered a minor issue and reached out to the developer. He was very fast with a suggestion, which worked, and even linked in an article on how to make the change to another setting on my tablet which solved my unique issue. Good product, responsive and helpful developer. Thanks.

My nephew likes to sleep on me. I'm wide awake and my phone is my only entertain. Although with the regular phone brightness going all the way down. It is still bright enough to have my nephew open his eyes and be alert. Babies love the light. This app turn the brightness down just right! I'm using it now. I don't have to worry about holding my phone away from the baby anymore!

really helpful but a little bit buggy. the auto start stopped working. every once in while it just stops working and goes full bright. can't get the shake to resume to work eithet. still worth it though.

This app dimmed my screen no problem. My phone has a built in dimmer, but is pitiful. This is simple to use, and it takes up reasonable space. Perfect for anyone. Thanks Ricardo!

by Y####:

Bought the app for the feature that automatically turns on the blue filter at a certain time and it never worked consistently. It would maybe work one night but the next it wouldn't so it is basically worthless to pay for. AND the new Samsung 8 has a blue filter built in, so super worthless if you have that phone.

My s5 would go to sleep and never wake up properly. Black screen. This app fixed it! Thank you for fixing the s/w problem Samsung could not.

Y70%
by Y####:

I would not pay for the ad free version again. The auto start and auto stop functions worked once only. Now I must manually switch it on or off. I would recommend looking into a different app. The positive thing is that it is simple to use.

U70%
by U####:

It really does help lower the brightness of your screen but does not seem to work like it should. If you forget to turn the brightness back up it can be extremely difficult to see your screen and reset.

B70%
by B####:

My tablet feels too bright late at night. It allows me not to be up too late staring at a bright screen. I don't strain my eyes and I rest easier now

G70%
by G####:

Good. However it keeps on getting killed by OOM, like I just started it then opened some app then the screen filter is gone. I suggest you make it a service (acc/reg) but it depends on how you will implement it.

A70%
by A####:

Start/stop (paid features) do not seem to work on my Droid Turbo 2. App dies regularly reverting to a bright screen. Seems to stop at midnight every night also. Can't pick color of "blue blocker" night mode. Contacted developer with no reply. Love the app but wouldn't pay money until the start/stop issues are resolved.

I have been using this app for nearly two years now since my LG L Bello is too bright to use at night and makes my eyes burn. Haven't had any issues, highly recommend. Does the job!

This is exactly what I need. With this app I can study in a dark room with my smartphone. It reduces pain in my eyes. It is also very light and needs very less space.

Y70%
by Y####:

Gteat app to reduce the brightness a significant amount. The brightness adjuster of my phone is not dark enough at the lowest setting, so this simple app is great! Makes looking at my phone at whatever time of day or night easy on my eyes.

by Y####:

Great app I had to give it a 5 stars wish I could gave it more it's like a privacy screen it can darken the screen so much that no one can sees what am doing and it also prevents my eyes from running water when am using my phone at nights......love it like crazy.

by Y####:

After using it for months occasionally it will turn off without warning. Very seldom does it do this, and it might just be my phone's processor. This has worked wonders, I can fall asleep watching videos at night now. More hours of sleep! :)

by Y####:

This did exactly what I needed thank you just wish I could set a timer for auto shut off that way when I wake up and turn on my phone in the morning I can see the screen still. Because if I use it at night and if I forget to turn it off when I go to bed I can't see when I wake up and half the time can't figure out why. Maybe you could tell it to turn off at 7 or something

This app is flawless. No adds and Easy to use. One thing that I didn't like is the app icon. It could have been better. :)

Y70%
by Y####:

The auto on/ off don't work and it sucks! The rest of the app is great.. but I really wish it worked automatically! That's the reason I paid for the premium version!

by J####:

WONDERFUL 5 star app. . Is it possible that you could add shake to totally darken screen? Would be very helpful BUT Still AWESOME

D70%
by D####:

Out of a dozen different screen dimming apps I've tried, this one has been by far the best. It's straight to the point, has the options you need only. Lightweight design for the slider, plus a perfect blue light filter. 10/10 with rice.

I love how it doesn't need to access my gallery, location and all that stuff which other screen dimmer apps demands access to..So unnecessary but this app is good! 5 stars

I love it, my phones min brightness is way too bright fir my use of it at night. This keeps my eyes from burning. Thank you

Z70%

Just what I needed to let me read in bed without disturbing my partner. Very easy to use and does not have any intrusive permissions.

M70%

It's a great app to reduce brightness to our comfort level at night's and the green filter helps us to work continuously for many hours!

Its a good app. Does what i need it to do. My only problem is, if the app is on, it seems that i cant press the confirmation button on vpns, installations and the like.

I always had problems with super-bright screen when using kindle. With this app, I can adjust the brightness! Thank you!

C70%

Dimmer fails when using Google Chrome and other apps. Might be overloading the phones memory and crashing the app.

Amazing, This app allows you to protect your eyes from the raging beams of hatred coming from your phone (most helpful at night).

Y70%
by Y####:

The blue light filter is not adjustable, and it does not dim the capacitive buttons on Droid Turbo.

P70%
by P####:

For my money, best balance of functionality and simplicity. Only gets 3 because timed start and stop don't work on paid version.

U70%
by U####:

It does exactly what it says. Perfect for use just before you sleep as standard minimum brightness is bright enough to give you a headache when used in darkness before you sleep.

I have been looking for an app that allows me to play You Tube videos on my phone with the screen darker than the default Android setting, to save my phone's battery. YouTube charges a fee for their "Red" version that allows you turn off the screen. This Dimly app makes that unnecessary and it's free!

I have a habit of reading e-book before sleeping and this app is make it better. It is very simple and straightforward, solid 5/5

Most blue light filters just make your screen orange. This one does too but it actually lowers the blue light. It is now easier to fall asleep during the night after using my phone

Y70%
by Y####:

this is such trash. Can't turn off the "screen sliding gesture" or whatever it's called shortcut. they NEED to stop doing these. they get activated all the time just by coincidence! I've had enough. dim the light but leave my screen alone!

by Y####:

I love this app! I have small children and I am able to use my phone without it disturbing them snuggled close by. Definitely helpful so I do not disturb sleeping babies
