Comments on Black Screen: video screen off for Android

★★★★★ hollowh0und · Jun 14, 2026

Best app I have ever seen for afk/night game grinding, thank you! That's reduce your GPU and Battery usage, when you afk for long time.

★★★★★ GreenOnion · Jun 11, 2026

I think this app is really useful if you want to play music or videos while your phone is off. The app doesn't make them play in background, it only turns your screen black when your phone is on, which also saves battery. Many of the features are free, like pocket mode, to protect against accidental touches while your phone is in your bag or pocket. The app contains ads, at an acceptable level —usually only one pops up when I open the app. This app definitely deserves 5 stars.

★★★★★ Jonathan Desulme · Jul 2, 2026

Work how it was design to work. If I could add a simple pin for accidental touches without needing advanced security just to unlock it.

★★★★★ Michael Bell · Jun 29, 2026

Loved this app so much, I paid for the premium version! One thing I would love to see in a future update would be the ability to drag the floating lock button down the bottom center of the screen to dismiss it, like other apps do with floating windows etc.

It's a scam. I'm not 100% sure what this apps' purpose is, it creates a black overlay, not so much a screen in literal sense, if you want to practice blind texting then you may find use for it, but if you're looking for something to keep your phone from going crazy in your pocket then this isn't it, as an overlay is just another resource being used while you're screened is very much on. Edit: it's been over a year and returning, the app seems even worse now than before.

★☆☆☆☆ Ehren Biglari · Jun 17, 2026

The ads and tracking in this app are so aggressive it makes the app unusable. I'm going to have to write my own app for this now
