Screen Filter

About this app

Applies a shade that acts as a dimmer to ensure your eyes don't hurt. Far more powerful than Android's built-in brightness setting. Great for low-light gaming, web browsing, and eBook reading. It even saves battery life for AMOLED displays!

More features:
- Widgets: Easy access to preset brightness levels.
- Tasker/Locale Plug-in! Set brightness based on time/place/etc. To disable, configure for 100% brightness.
- Brightness slider uses logarithmic scale for fine-grained control.
- Drag the app icon to your desktop to use for toggling on/off.
- Prompts to confirm very low brightness settings.
- Option to disable soft-key backlight (does not work on all phones).

NOTE:
*** If you accidentally make your screen go BLACK ***
1. Pull your battery or (Nexus7) hold power button for 10 seconds
2. Uninstall the app to reset your bad brightness setting
3. Reinstall the app and use it normally again

Ratings and reviews

The app is great in terms of what it's supposed to do. Maybe too great though... I accidently put the brightness at 0% and submitted that and I couldn't see anything for a good 5 minutes. Thankfully my eyes adjusted, but it was scary to think that I might never be able to see anything on my phone ever again. I wish there was a quick but simple method (maybe triple clicking the home button or sth like that) that helps users exit the dark screen mode quickly.

This does exactly what it's supposed to do, darken up your screen a bit more than the default so you can use it in a darkened room without bothering anyone. I have one complaint. With my Samsung in night mode, all of the notifications turn black with white print, except for the one that's there when Screen Filter is running. Notification slide is not under the filter, so if I pull it down, the bright white Screen Filter Running notification is blinding. Please make it black!

I've been using this app for a couple of years and it worked great. Unfortunately, recently it has stopped working properly, I can no longer use any other app while the filter is on, and the only way to turn it off now is to use the drop down menu from the top, instead of just tapping the app like before. Really disappointed, it used to be great but is entirely useless now.
