User reviews

Schrott

Kein Widget.

Not working

As a side widget it doesn’t work. Crashes and acts strange.

Doesn’t dim the screen

This app only increases the brightness. That was definitely not clear when I wasted a dollar on it because I’m desperate

Screenshot is misleading

I thought the home screen version would be a slider. No, you get five levels: 0%, 100%, and three possibly useful settings. And each change triggers _two_ drastic flashes of the whole screen between off and full bright! And it isn't a modern widget for the iOS15 home screen, it only shows in the sidebar.

The app version is a slider, but shows a plain background where you have no idea how a real screen would look. No advantage over the Apple slider. Or the free app.

Oh, and the "support" page is just an ad for other apps.

Useless
