Software Reviews and Criticism

    This App Deserves Greater Attention

    It really should be under medical. I have severe photophobia. No. I am not afraid of pictures or color… but light keeps from being able to look at a screen for extended periods of time. Millions of people suffer from this problem for many different reasons. For example, silent migraines, medications & Lymes’s disease... [Me]. But TBIs, regular headaches, autism spectrums, ADHD, absence seizures along wit any type of seizures, etc., can be triggered or exaggerated by light. Blues for me. At times I cannot turn down the light enough on the screen and see no matter how low I dim it. But it’s not the light as much as the hue/color. I need ambers. Irlen glasses are the answer for many. But they really are hard to afford, let alone find a specialist in many areas of the country…. but they work. And they work a lot like this application. I am looking for an app like this for my phone. Today I cannot read anything on my phone and the light is dim, dim. I am okay on the computer at this time though. So I am sending out a plea to the developer of this app… MARKET IT TO THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY! Let people, doctors know it is here. I really need it for my iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 9.1 too. ;) This is a great thing. The fact that I can control the color makes it priceless to me. Thank you! This is amazing. I can actually say the it is a life changer.

    Great app, but one flaw...

    I just downloaded this app today and I love it! First off, I love the simplicity of the app. No clutter, and straight to the point. I am a student and I am always reading articles and word documents and I work late at night, so the color features are great, and very helpful in explaining which color is best for specific times of the day or night. If you don’t switch screens much, I would give this 5/5. The only MAJOR flaw is that when you transition screens from one to another (Desktop 1 to Desktop 2 with full screen apps, for example), it does not change the color immediately, and you’re temporarily blinded with the regular color of the screen until it switches a second later. Big flaw since I’m blinded for just a sec and it kind of defeats the purpose of the app. Please, please, please fix this! I really love this app! Will give 5 stars, recommend to classmates, and use for many, many years to come if we can get that glitch fixed!!

    Best dimmer, and incredible support

    I went though a few alternatives before finally finding this one, and I can tell anyone looking to stop wasting time and click "Purchase" now. I even tried GeekTool to put differnet tranluscent overlays on the screen out of despratation, and wish I would have discovered this app soonner. This is hands down the easiest to use screen dimmer of them all, and the most robust. The ability to have differnet shades on different monitors is huge, and the app handles resolution changes perfectly. And when I had a question, the developer was very responsive. If you own an Microsoft display, I honestly cannot understand how you're not using this app and still have your retinas unburned by the nuclear fire their ultra-bright monitors use for backlighting.

    Great app, one complaint

    Love this app. It's clean, to the point, easy to use, and extremely useful. Would recommend this app to anyone annoyed with the high brightness of their display. My only gripe is it disables for a second every time you switch desktops. I'm constantly switching apps, so having to suddenly adjust to this brightness every time I want to switch can get annoying.
