Ratings and reviews

Shockingly, one of the most used apps on my phone. It does what it says and hides the bars at the bottom and top of the screen, you might forget your phone is even on. I'll normally leave my phone to do something else but not be bothered to type in my password again (and use this), good for pretending your phone is off so certain siblings don't go snooping around. If you need to leave a device on, could be very useful for preventing screen burn-in. +No ads, that would defeat the purpose.

This is indispensable for android TV boxes and so perfect because it's PURE black. The last app I tried still kept the backlight active. I fired this up and I can't even tell my TV is still on! What's more, my Samsung TV immediately went to cool down mode (those quiet pops as the parts inside cool down/contract). Perfect for bedtime!

I have been using this on my ROG Phone 2, Twindock View mode. When I want one screen to be off, I just run this on one screen. It works fine and would give it a 5*, but one problem for now is that this app prevents my phone to go to sleep when it is running in one of my screens. Edit: 5* now. It was too late for me to realize that the app was designed to not allow the screen to turn off. I reached out to the developer and guess what, he made a version where the phone sleeps! They're awesome.
