About Don't Blink

"Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast. Faster than you can believe. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and DON'T blink."

This unofficial app, in no way endorsed by the BBC, gives you a Weeping Angel widget to put on your home screen. It does nothing. It does not move.

Not when you're looking at it, anyway.


--


Please note that Doctor Who and the Weeping Angels are copyright the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), and this app is just something I hacked together on Friday night because, hey, I was excited about Day of the Doctor coming out tomorrow.

Note that it *doesn't* use your device's camera to see if you're blinking- unfortunately that would drain your battery too fast :-(

This little novelty app is /just/ a widget - there's no launcher icon! You need to add it your home screen just like you would any other widget - depending on what device you use, the way to your list of available widgets is different. Try one of these ways:

* when you go to see your list of applications, is there a 'Widgets' tab? - if there is, tap it, and 'Don't Blink' should be in there.
* if you hold your finger down on an empty space in your homescreen, does the menu that comes up have until 'Widgets' entry? if so, 'Don't Blink' should be in there!

Game History & Updates

What's Changed
Fixed for Android Lollipop! ActivityManager.html.getRunningTasks() has been deprecated with that release, making it harder for me to know whether or not you're actively using the home screen. This fix makes sure that the Angel won't move when you can see it, but will move - at least sometimes - when you're *not* looking.

V70%
by V####:

As a big Doctor Who fan, I highly recommend it! I installed it and it wouldn't change for a while. I went to bed and forgot it the next day and it scared me so much! It also scares random intruders too.

H70%
by H####:

I loved it, works perfectly! Even scared my older brothers with how it moves. But there should be static if it tries changing in the middle of loading another app and if, since I don't remember, there should be more brackets with the angel. The claws, etc.

F70%
by F####:

I had the app for about twenty minutes and I couldn't get it to work. Ir just sat there looking away for a while, and I tried everything. As I was going to uninstall the app, it changed. I really enjoyed this app overall now that it started working!

T70%
by T####:

I love that it changes positions. It would be great if it didn't do the same positions each time. So maybe 2 angels that move around. Then back to one but it's movements are different. This way you don't expect same thing from the angel. Love this app it's lots of fun esp. If you forget about it.

I scared my 5 year old brother by showing this, first when he saw it, he said "What is that?" And I said "it's a statue, it dosnt do anything." When he saw it move he got scared a little, when he saw it move again it moved again and he got more scare, now he's under his blanket. LOL COOL PRANK APP!

by E####:

I love this app. Unfortunately, it stopped working and no longer changes scenes in between using other apps. I don't know how to fix this issue. Please advise. Thank you. Update- Odd. It seems to work only occasionally now.

by T####:

Everyone keeps complaining! The concept of the Weeping Angel is that it moves when you are not looking. As a widget, it just sits there and moved every time you go back to that screen. The exact footage is not animated, because it was taken from the episode when the Doctor, River and Amelia go to the island, and (of course) almost get killed by the Angels. Perfect. Exactly what it promised.

The Weeping Angels are my favorite villains/ villain group. And when it first moved I thought it was just me it was so sneaky. The second time it by moved it actually scared me for a second.

by T####:

There is almost always a but... So here it is... It should be mixed up like not always at the wall then closer closer closer it should be at the wall then up in your face and then make one where it is gone completely no angel and then one where you can see its head... Make it a surprise!!!

It's pretty cool!! And creepy O_O and weird.. ^_^ can u make another Weeping Angel game? Wish it could be first person point of view and you could avoid the angels like they did in the show.

by T####:

I didn't work for me. I looked at it, I looked away, I turned of my phone and tried blinking, nothing works. If it worked for you please tell me how to use it. I'm a big doctor who fan, and I really want it to work

H70%
by H####:

okay, I kind of exaggerated on the title a bit. but I am very mad! the Weeping Angels take less than a millisecond to notice your eyes are closed. its been 5 minutes and it hasn't moved once!!! No offense don't waste your time unless you want a non moving widget on your screen. don't mean to hurt your feelings whoever created this, but please try to make it a little quicker!!!

It creeps the hell out of me every single time that moves. I get a mini heart attack. It's greatly done, and I think is my favorite widget ever.

T70%
by T####:

I installed it then watched the picture for like 5 minutes and nothing happened but then I accidentally entered an app and when I exited it had moved iT WAS SO CREEPY BUT AWESOME

It starts to look like it doesn't look and then you walk away.....then you're like what the heck I'll just check and see if it moved.....it did....scared the crap out of me...I jumped

I basicly peed my pants so I'd say 10 stars! Creator please contact me. I love your app! /10 min/ HOLLY CRAP THATS SCARRY I made her mad

by T####:

I would give it five if it used the camera to see when u blink and that when u do it moves closer instead of it moving closer every time u go on an app and get off

T70%
by T####:

This app is so cool!!! I have an idea for an update... you should try to put the app torwords the camera so a prejection of the angel comes out. Then when the person changes the screen on the phone, the Angel moves. That would be so cool!!!

by T####:

As a doctor who fan this is the best widget that could possibly be on my phone I'm scared its gonna come through my screen or something... Worst part is as I'm typing this... Its moving... I'm gonna be back in time before I know it

T70%
by T####:

I'm not convinced by this but also the weeping doesn't move like I thought it would.

Y70%
by Y####:

The only change if make is that you could set the face recognition function so that when you look away it would move. It would be 1000% creepier lol

I fooled my friends. They don't watch doctor who, so it was hilarious! If I were going to say to make it better, I would say make it look like the angel was going to really attack you!

Great job! It even changed my wallpaper! It's like the whole thing just changed when it went to that close up look. Great job..creepy but great.

by D####:

I like this wallpaper its pretty cool if I say so my self I say you should get this app and keep this app if you don't the wepping angles will get you! #Don't Blink!

by L####:

It would be cool if every minute or so the Weeping Angel moves, and me being an EXTREME Whovian, I think it's a great concept, maybe whenever you leave the screen. It could move

Pictures or videos of the Weeping Angels become Weeping Angels themselves! Putting this on your phone is just asking for trouble! I put it on my phone and then I......

by D####:

Would be good if you had some options to change scenes or backgrounds. Would be great if the widget came in different sizes... like full screen. 3x2 is too small to make it scary in ANY way. Great idea but obviously a rushed product... has great potential. Also, how about a live wallpaper? THAT would be AWESOME!!!

Some people give it 1 star because it scared them, and others give it 1 star because they're using phones barely a step above potatoes, and some don't even read the description before installing! (Look up Weeping Angels if you don't know what they are and what they do!) Really, people? This is actually a great app!
