1. SimpleA lot of times I'll be reading late at night and my tablet will glitch and the screen gets super bright andbi have to turn off and on the screen a couple of times before dimly starts working again.
2. there is not only a brightness setting that runs on top of your default brightness (giving you higher/lower brightness range) but there is also a night mode called "blue light filter" which allows you to raise brightness without increasing eye strain.
3. I have tried setting my phone screen brightness all the way down under phone setting but this has not seemed to make a difference.
4. This is a problem because my eyes get adjusted to the dim screen but then are shocked when I pull down my super bright drop down menu.
5. I use it often, but it could be better.LOVE LOVE LOVE the SHAKE TO RESTORE BRIGHTNESS option if you happen to go outside, for example, and can't see the screen anymore.. honestly, that alone is why this is the screen dimmer app that I use.
6. If you lower the brightness below your device then it puts a layer of solid black over your screen and you adjust it's opacity.
7. Thanks for the awesome app!This is perfect for people who get migranes from a bright phone screen.
8. Which I guess is the next best way to decrease the screens brightness of you can't adjust the actual LEDs on the screen.
9. But asidefrom this, I love the fact that it gives you different options for how to start dimly,rather than having to exit my original app to go and click on dimly.I have been using Dimly for two or three years now.
10. The only reason its not getting 5 stars is because the notification panel and the soft keys on the screen don't dim as well (although the preview photos show that they do).
11. It wouldn't be too bad except that during the night going from a dim red to a bright blue hurts the eyes.It doesn't auto start or stop.
