Waste of $$$

Bought this in an attempt to watch Netflix in the night without blinding myself. Paid for it and it did nothing. The app opens as a google chrome page...don’t waste your time. Just search for how to make iPad extra dim. There are steps you can actually take on iPad to change settings and get it much darker than it currently is and it will cost you $0 additional dollars.

Hi, sorry to hear that you are not happy with my app. Seems like Netflix doesn't allow us to watch series and movies directly in the webbrowser on iOS. 😏 I will see if I can fix this. You can of course dim the screen a lot without this app. But not nearly as much as this app can. πŸ™‚

Did not change my screen brightness

I have an iphone. I turned my brightness all the way down, put my settings to dark mode, applied a low light filter on my accesibility zoom short cuts, and still though the screen was too bright, so I searched for this app.

Perhaps it works for people who did not already adjust every setting on the phone first, but I found no difference in brightness in this app.

Is there no way to further turn down the light?

Thank you for developing this app,
but it not work for me.
Please accept my $1 for your hard workπŸ˜€ It was worth a try

Hi! Thanks for the feedback! πŸ™‚ Have you put the slider at max level? You click on the sun buttom to find the slider. Because I can nearly not see anything when I have the darkest level on. πŸ™‚

Works great

I have an aftermarket iphone screen on my X. It’s very bright. This browser solved the problem for that.

Works well. Very fast. Noticeably faster than chrome and safari. I wanted to read PDF documents from my drive, and it dimmed they white perfectly! (And could read pdf).

(Only reason I downloaded is because I saw the developer had responded to a complaint, you could see they believe in the product they sell, and that’s important because I want to keep using it the with ongoing support.)

☺️☺️☺️

An honest review.

By far and away, the best and most useful app I have ever bought, and a cheap one at that.

I'm often up late or can't sleep and my iPhone's screen just doesn't dim enough to be comfortable to read. Or if I've worked hard till 3, 4, 5AM, then I tend to have a bit of a lie in as a reward. It's the winter so sometimes I hide under my blanket (s).

And again, the same problem is there!
Screen brightness.

No problem anymore.
Perfect!

Thanks for the nice review!! πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ

Feature request

Auto dim by schedule. This app is great for dimming. I would love to use it for my iPads used for home automation kiosks. I would like them to dim at a specific time. Then brighten in the morning. Or, it would be really cool to brighten if the front camera senses motion then dim after motion stops. -JY

Thanks for some cool ideas! πŸ˜ƒ

Stopped working.

I used and loved this app for years. But now the app closes as soon as I open it. Even though this app crashes every single time I open it, I give it two stars because of the past good history. I hope this lower rating flags someone to fix it. Then I will update my rating to five stars after its fixed.

The screen is grey all the time

Sadly the app doesn’t work at all, the screen is grey all the time. Closing and reopening the app doesn’t work. I feel like I wasted my money.

Response from developer

Hi! Thanks for your feedback. Sorry to hear that! The app should of course work fine every time!! I would really appreciate if you could email me some details about what model you are using and if you just bought the app or if the problem just came. Email: alex@appsbyalex.se Have a nice day and I will if course try to fix this! :) /Alex

Crashes - No longer works

Purchased to help my kid sleep at night while listening to nature and piano music. Perfect for so long. No longer works. App will not open. Looking for something else.

Response from developer

Sorry to hear this! I will try to see what has happen. Probably some changes in iOS. I will fix this ASAP! :) Have a nice day! /Alex

Mad about my money

I bought this app and it says google search. I want my money back. I thought I could trust these apps. I want my money back. Rip off.

Response from developer

What do you mean? Just start typing in the adress field to use Google. πŸ™‚

Useless

Loads slow and often can’t load pages. Crashes often. A waste of a dollar.

Response from developer

Please tell me which site didn't work. I'm doing my best to make it work on all sites.. πŸ™‚ But I don't agree that it loads slow? It's often quicker than Safari at least.
