Ratings and reviews

There's a lot of ads. Despite there being a quick setting, I wasn't able to get it to toggle like the app says it should. Tapping it opens the app and brings it to foreground, frequently showing an ad that has to be manually closed before you can adjust anything. The only reason I'm not rating lower is the author publishes with GPLv3. I haven't reviewed what they share on GitHub thoroughly other than that the APKs from there still require Play Store and have ads, but it's nice for transparency.

This is the best lower brightness app I have found. It works great, and even allows you to disable ads if you find them to be too annoying.

didn't use wasn't great
