This app is perfect for making an OLED screen just the right dimness for night time reading or checking your phone while in the movie theater. I have used it on many galaxy phones and always love it. For non OLED screens dimming it too much will make everything green so be aware of that

I can fall asleep while looking at my phone much easier now. Unfortunately I forget to turn it off in the morning and walking around in sunlight I had a hard time blindly pressing buttons until managed to restart my phone. Also, Shades likes it turn itself back on automatically after a restart it seems. It takes a short while after the restart though.

Best tool from all what seen before. It's really good solution for my Fly IQ4403! My phone has high level of brightness by default. It's beats by my eyes when i receive calls in the night. It's my problem solution. I recommend use it if you have same problems.

There is an issue with this app. It will enable on its own during the day. The screen simply goes black and it's too dark to see the screen to disable it. Why does it auto-enable if there are no settings to automatically turn it on based on lighting conditions?

Since I started using this app, I've become very stealthy and was able to stealthily break into Fort Knox to get some ice cream. This app also has changed me to the highest level ninja.

I use this every time we go to a movie. Let's you sneak a peek at your screen without blinding half the theater. Thank god for the ability to disable it by rapidly turn the phone on and off because I always forget until I'm outside in the bright sun where the screen is impossible to see.
