Brightness Widget - Backlight!

needed a simple, quick dim/bright toggle widget. this was perfect! easy to set presets... defaulted at three... I just wanted two (dim (min) & normal). Was easy. Good job!

Every time I tap, it changes the brightness, but it also opened the preference everytime, very annoying.

There is no "off"

My Samsung Note 10.1 is capable of being ridiculously bright. Anything over 50% is unnecessary, except when outside on the brightest of days. However, when auto brightness is in effect it usually remains too dim during the day and too bright in the dark, for reading. I use Dimly at night for its added blue filter. This app works great through the daylight hours. Without it, auto brightness goes to a value of about 10. With Brightness Widget - Backlight! I can quickly change to 29 - the value I have found to be just right during daylight hours. The only thing better for me would be an added ability to configure auto brightness with a minimum level of > 20. Tried Lux and that just crashed on my device.

Well done. One issue... the settings are off by a few %. 55% setting should be 140 or 141. To set a system setting of 55% I had to specify 145 which read in the widget as 56%. Not a big deal. Must be a decimal point rounding issue. Suggestion: add option to specify % levels.

For what it was worth, it is a great s screen brightness app, with % brightness in the bulb icon. On 6P I no longer have the % number, that is the only reason for 4 Star, plus it is not an option to leave a 4.9 Star.

Liked the overall idea, but several things caused me to uninstall and look elsewhere. To not be able to go in and EASILY change the values, and forcing me to add an EXTRA widget in addition to the ICON widget (just to be able to be able to go back into the settings, is very inefficient, and counter-intuitive). Found another app Brightness Display (or vice versa) that allows you to set a small adjustment bar (anywhere, that STAYS on ANY screen you're currently working in). Very efficient- no need to search

It has not good ui.....how to under stand it but my screen lill bit dull now

I can see the percent values but I can only adjust values on a 1-255 scale? I can see the percent values but I can only adjust values on a 1-255 scale? Why? Why can't I find a simple brightness adjuster that works how I want it.

With regard to reducing my phone's backlight, this app seems to be the only app that actually does what it claims to. It works, and, it works very well.

Simple, customizable, and not invasive. I wish more apps were this smooth! Thank you!

A widget that is capable of switching the brightness between auto and full. My only disappointment is the design of the widget itself, as it could be much nicer looking. It's too big compared to other icons and widgets and looks kind of ugly.

Simple and straightforward, just tap the icon to cycle. The only tricky part is figuring out your own preferences, clearing app data will let you re-enter. I'm liking 10,70,140 to keep the cycle short, then using manual slider for anything higher.

you have to add a widget to change settings. I REALLY APPRECIATE the un-limited number of toggles though! Thought I wanted three, ended up with four anyway. Standard brightness "half-moon" icon would be ideal put many options in please; light, dark, primary colors, etc.

Every time I click it, it will go to the settings options. What's the point? I want to set the preference and not ever see it again. The point is speed.

This one's a keeper. Kudos to the developer. Thank you!

I can customize the levels, and the widget is nice. Just what I wanted

Easily the best and easiest to set up. Just what I was looking for. Thank you Devs.

Would like a different image for the widget, or choice of images, but mainly rocks! The only other thing I'd get rid of is the icon in the app drawer. 4 stars until these are fixed.

For the one's who doesn't know . size of widgets may be customized based on launcher . widget size shouldn't decide the app rating .

This is working well on my Sony Xperia Z3, very happy!

Does What it's ment to

thanks alot <3

I hated Android auto brightness function. I preferred my own sets of brightness setting. Set this up correctly. Put a widget. At a click you can change your brightness settings easily.

There's no comparison. This is the best for beating sun glare.

I keep my brightness low to conserve battery, and this is only a problem when I walk out into bright sun. I can easily adjust the brightness with the pull-down slider if I can barely see my screen, but when I can't see the slider, it's hard to find. I put this widget filling up an entire screen just to the left of my home screen, so now I can swipe right and tap in the middle of the screen to set brightness to "auto" without having to be able to see the screen.

Doesn't dim - just lowest backlight

I wanted a widget not an app with it and neither of them work for me

Fully customisable widget for brightness control just what I've been trying to find for ages Thank you

Very, very useful. Though the customization of brightness values would be easier in % than in 0-255.

Needs improvement..

Good
