About this app

Black Screen lets you play videos with screen off. Turn off the screen anytime and save battery. Black Screen can be used to watch music videos, listen to podcasts, record videos, take selfies, etc. with your screen turned off.

This helps to save battery in AMOLED and OLED devices as the screen is completely off when displaying black color.

Use the floating button to quickly turn off the screen and unlock it by tapping on it.

App Feature List:
• Floating button to quickly lock the screen
• Battery saver on AMOLED & OLED screens
• Play videos, listen to podcasts, record videos, play streams with screen off
• Always-on display option
• Customizable
• Pure black option

Warning: This is not a lock-screen app, it is just a black screen overlay on top of the app you are using. This helps in saving battery on AMOLED devices.

I tested the ad enabled version for several months which has been fantastic. I usually sleep with background noise, which normally is an audiobook as I can turn off my screen. I sometimes watch a show or movie while lying in bed and if I fall asleep while it's playing, the light from my phone bothers my wife. This has changed my sleep listening habits entirely. It's a game changer. I upgraded to the Pro version lifetime not out of necessity but as a thank you for improving my habits.

The problem with it not working has gotten worse since my original review, not better! When it works, it's very handy... but the trigger that turns the screen black tends to disappear a lot, forcing me to go to the app to get it back. It would be better if that circle trigger was always available so I could black my screen quickly and with one hand. It's inconvenient to have to go to the app so often.

I paid for youtube premium, it worked well.. Then after quite a few months, it stopped playing on my Samsung lock screen . I tried every trick on videos none worked. In the process I saw several videos for this app. Although I was suspect....Well, it works impeccably every time! Very easy to use and now I highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed! 5 stars for sure. Kudos and thanks to the developers !!
