Pros

  • Filters out harmful blue light on Android devices

Cons

  • Lack of customization options for blue light filtering

Blue Light Filter For Eye Care filters out blue light on smartphone screens. Smartphones with Android 3.2 and above should support this particular app. Without a doubt, blue light filtering apps remain wildly popular today. They weren't always so common or popular years ago, though. Few alternatives to this app were available upon its release. Still, the app shows developers wanted to protect users long ago.

After installing Blue Light Filter, users can toggle the feature on and off. A given user needs to tap on the app icon and activate or deactivate the filter. It's possible to set the app to run automatically. Also, users will find a parental control feature that forces the screen to be turned off after long periods of use. This particular feature can be locked with the a password to ensure children take regular breaks.

Such features are quite useful, although the app is quite bare bones. Users won't find many customization options here. Then again, we're talking about an app designed for Android 3.2, making it over four years old today. The app may not even run on most modern smartphones, and that's something that must be kept in mind. Better apps are available for modern smartphones, and most of them include more customization options.

Nonetheless, Blue Light Filter For Eye Care worked well upon initial release. Thousands of users downloaded the Android app and benefited from its feature set. It's difficult to recommend the app for modern devices. However, the random individual with an older Android device shouldn't hesitate to give this app a chance. The blue light filtering itself works without many issues.
