I'm not 100% sure what this apps purpose is, it creates a black overlay, not so much a screen in literal sense, if you want to practice blind texting then you may find use for it, but if you're looking for something to keep your phone from going crazy in your pocket then this isn't it, as a overlay is just another resource being used while you're screen is very much on.

Black Screen does exactly as stated: plays other apps in BACKGROUND MODE- and does so reliably. Doesn't crash, impose ads, or steal my valuable time or energy. I'm able to play YouTube with Screen off and the keys don't get inadvertently hit so the videos play as they should without skipping around. I still have to listen to the ads, (or partially...till I skip ad, which requires attentiveness on my part) ---but that's cause I refuse to pay for YouTube. NOT attributed to Black Screen app!

Can listen to YouTube and other content with a black screen. You can set how many taps to activate, and when the screen is lit, there is an unobtrusive pip in the middle of the screen to activate. Adds haven't had sound so far, thank goodness. It only required permission to show on top of apps, which makes sense. Note for developer: Thank you! Don't ever do adds with sound, and don't increase the permissions. It works, don't fix it!
