Black Me is a
lightweight
app; it won’t take
up too much space
on your device when you download it. However, it does
require various permissions
such as displaying over other apps and automatically running it when you boot up your device.
Easy to use but with flaws
Black Me offers a
clear and simple
design that makes it
easy to use and navigate
. Everything you need for this app is on one screen, allowing you to
adjust the configurations quickly
and without the hassle of opening different sections. What's more, you can activate the program with just a click of a button from the same screen. The said button is labeled as "Start the Service" at the bottom.
Another way to activate the app is by
tapping
on the notification window that will appear. Meanwhile, you can easily
enable
the app's ability to
show the floating button
over other apps and turn on your device's
display
when you receive calls. What's more, this program offers
four ways to unlock
or turn on your device: single tap, double tap, long press, and swipe.
Despite these features, this app also has its fair share of flaws. For instance, it only works properly on AMOLED displays. Devices that have another type of display can still use the app and it will work, but the interface will not be completely turned off. Another flaw is that
it's way too sensitive
in the sense that an accidental or light tap can reactivate the screen display.
For an uninterrupted app usage
Black Me is the app you need if you like to keep your device turned off without interrupting the activities of your apps, specifically YouTube. It has a straightforward design that makes it simple to configure and enable or disable the functions you want. It also offers different gestures for unlocking your device. Do note that it requires different permissions and only works properly on devices with AMOLED displays.
