I've used this app for years. Recently, though, only on my phone it has become a nuisance. It turns itself on/off constantly. Yes, definitely, a first world problem😂, but I have really fun health issues they all tend to cause migraines and make me sensitive to light. There's been enough time to fix the issue before moving on. I also didn't want to abandon ship because I paid for it years ago. But it's time I can't take it anymore! Why can't you guys help!

I have eye tissue damage from childhood and I am giving this app three stars because it effectively dims the screen sufficiently and offers a range of shades to tint which I appreciate though I never use more than two. But it is difficult and confusing to set up the schedule option (one of the reasons is because it's in military time) and also the screenshot without the filter button has never worked for me. Being able to take easily readable screenshots for other people is important for me.

Really enjoyed the app especially it's timed feature. However I keep experiencing a problem where the app turns off. I have it set to turn blue light on at night. But I've noticed time and time again that the blue light never turns on and the app has been turned off. I end up having to go back into my phone settings to allow the app to work. I don't know if it's because of my device or something with the app. But I don't experience this with other apps.

Works well for me on my HTC one m8. I have a hard time keeping a regular sleep schedule. Using this app in the evening and at night (I use flux on my laptop, highly recommend flux!) Helps me sleep more at night. I read about how the "blue light" in backlit things and electronics mimic natural bright daylight in the brain somehow. I find it helpful, wish it were a little easier like flux, with its syncing up with your time and adjusting the blue light filter automatically in small increments.

I've loved using blue light filter, and have it on all of my devices. But now it keeps trying to charge me for a subscription which I didn't sign up for. Luckily, I didn't have my card attached to Google anymore. I don't know if it automatically started after a year, or if I accidentally hit the subscribe button. Either way, be careful about what you click in the apps these days. This sort of thing has been happening more lately (never before)...why my card isn't attached to Google anymore.

Blue light interferes with your body's natural melatonin production. Computers and phones are the most common reason for most people's insomnia. This app won't fix the problem, but it does help a lot. It's nice to be able to check a notification without being blasted by intense light. It can also save battery by allowing lower than normal screen brightness. Any possible energy savings depends on type of screen though.

I've never tried other screen-dimming apps, so I don't know if there's an earth-staggeringly amazing one out there somewhere, but this one does exactly what it said it was going to, is very fine-tune-able, and if it has ads, I haven't noticed them. It just works, plain and simple.

I've used BLF for over 3yrs now. I appreciate the manual aspect of the app. Simple interface. Simple bar on my notifications tab. Easy to use. It's been a MUST on all my devices. Only complaint I have is screenshots should still automatically exclude filtration, it used to. But I'll live, well worth the hassle I've gained so many more hours of sleep. Personally I love it! Best blue light app, I always recommend it to everyone!

problem solved... do lots of reading on phablet... looking up from screen with blurry vision was bothersome, sometimes interfering with work... thank you. was cruising with two tiles from this app on home screen. one; pause, disappeared. the main control went blip... spent over an hour... scrambled apps. i feel lost without....

I don't like that it doesn't do the lockscreen, notification bar, and volume bar on this phone. (& I have show on navigation bar toggled on.) It did in my last phone, which was also a tracfone. I like that it has a schedule mode with multiple times for different amounts of filter. Also like how it uses 0% of my battery.
