Video Enhancer Pro: Brightness

CloudEx Inc.

About this app

Ever felt that videos and photos look too dark and dull on your screen?

Video Enhancer Pro automatically boosts your screen brightness only when you open the apps you choose — YouTube, Netflix, your gallery, photo albums and more. When you leave the app it restores your previous brightness automatically. No manual tapping needed.

Photos and videos look richer and more vivid when the screen is brighter. But changing brightness app by app is a hassle, so most people just put up with a dim screen. With this app the brightness is set automatically only for the apps you want — so your everyday videos and photos instantly look better.

【Perfect for】
• Enjoying YouTube, Netflix and Prime Video more vividly
• Viewing photos beautifully in your gallery or albums
• Keeping the screen dim normally, but bright for video
• Anyone tired of adjusting brightness by hand

【Main features】

►Video Enhancer (automatic brightness boost)
Detects when your chosen apps open and close, then changes and restores screen brightness automatically.

►Per-app brightness
Set the boost strength individually for each app.

►Keep screen on
Keeps the screen always on while a chosen app is in use, so it never dims out during playback.

►Auto-save
Change the enhance setting from the notification and it is saved automatically, per app.

►Shortcut / Widget / Quick panel
Turn the app on or off with one tap from the home-screen widget or the quick panel.

►Relative / absolute mode
Choose a boost relative to your current brightness, or a fixed brightness level.

【How it works — it's easy】
1. Pick the apps you want brighter
2. That's it — open the app and the screen brightens automatically

【About permissions】
"Usage access" is required to detect the app in the foreground, and "Modify system settings" to change the brightness. The information is used only on your device and is never sent anywhere.

【For OPPO device users】
This app needs to run a background service to detect which app is in the foreground.
Due to OPPO's custom behavior, a special setting is required to keep app services running in the background. (Without it, the background service is killed and the app will not work correctly.)
In the recent-apps list, drag this app down slightly to lock it.
If you are not sure how, search for "OPPO task lock".

Ratings and reviews

If the app does just what you claim, then explain the permissions that require full network access [and basically access to the entire phone via accessability] as I'm unsure why many of them would be required for an offline centric app concept… especially the 'install shortcuts' permission. Explain!

Works great on my Huawei device. However, why do I need to tap on the app's notification bar to turn it on? Please make it on once the app is run. No need for an additional tap to make it work. It goes back to off every few days and I have to tap the notification panel again.

Brilliant app, just wish the Low and medium settings were a little dimmer. Even better would be to allow us to set custom brightness for each level ourselves.
