I turn this on every night for when I'm laying in bed, browsing around on my phone to fall asleep. ... (to give you an idea the level of darkness) From sundown going forward; I turn on my phones's first level of Night dimmer (around dusk) .. then my phone's 2nd level of light dimmer, once it's dark outside. ... These are just right for using my phone anytime at night. ..... But when it's time for 'lights out' and getting in bed, and the room is dark, I need my screen brightness turned Way down.

Great app. Easy to use. On/Off are in the notification drop down. I can customize color filters & brightness and set the time to auto turn on and off if I want. A few apps won't respond unless I turn it off first and then turn it back on after but all the others do too.

Great app, works great, simple UI. I'd like more variations with warm colours though. I typically recommend this app to people over the years that I've been using it.
