Description

Is your screen too bright for reading at night? GSam Screen Dimmer will let you:

* Dim your screen below the built-in settings for some devices
* Set custom brightness settings, providing quick access to change your screen brightness
* Automatically change brightness at certain times of the day (Pro version only)

Even on its lowest Brightness setting, many people find that their screen can be too bright for reading in a dark room. GSam Screen Dimmer often lets you dim the screen way past what the built-in brightness setting will allow, giving you a much better night reading experience. You can dim your screen without ever leaving the app you are currently running. Better yet, you can see the content on your screen while you dim - no need to launch into separate screens.

NOTE:
* Not all devices will let you dim the screen past the default settings.
* The Free version contains ads. Upgrade to the Pro version to remove the adds.
* This app was designed with e-readers such as the Kindle Fire in mind, however it will function well on all Android devices, including Phones and Tablets.

Permission Explanations:
* SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW: Allows the dimmer to dim the screen below the system settings even when it's not the active foreground app. This is a dangerous setting to allow, however it is required for the screen dimmer.
* WRITE_SETTINGS: Allows the dimmer to update the system brightness setting.
* INTERNET: Allows the Free version to show Ads. This permission is not included in the Pro version.
* RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows the dimmer to automatically start up whenever you restart your devices. You can control this setting in the preferences.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew

4 ★Nice application
5 ★Excellent application
5 ★Nice
1 ★Sooo Stupid! How could the user click "screen Not Visible" when the screen is NOT VISIBLE and is TOTALLY BLACK !! their should be an automatic fallback timer if the user doesnt click anything in 10 seconds, the screen goes bright. I just use the light & reliable "Screen Filter" program
1 ★Worked great when first downloaded, but stopped the next day and I still can't get it to work. Uninstalled and reinstalled, but still doesn't work.
1 ★It comes off dimmer after a short period of inactivity
4 ★Good app but set up of the minimum level is fussy
5 ★Nice easy way to gain fast control of screen brightness.
4 ★Efective
5 ★Awesome
1 ★Annoying notification cannot be dismissed.
1 ★According to 'find battery killer' app this app is the major cause of draining battery in my HTC one x, I'm using Francos kernels v21 & have wipped dalvik cache just to make sure nothing weird is going on. Going to remove it now as battery seem to be draining very fast.
