Description

From the listing uploaded by “monsterrain”.

Reading Mode takes care of everything you need to make your Android device reading friendly so that you can focus on reading, even in night. While all you need to do is a tap. Its awesome goodies include • BlueLight filter - to protect your eyes when you are reading for a long time. It keeps your eyes miles away from strain even when you read for hours. • Brightness below minimum - to make looking at the screen comfortable even when it is pitch dark. • Auto Pause - Reading Mode auto pauses when a certain app is being used. • Increases the sleep timeout of the screen to a longer interval so that it does not go away while you are still busy reading. • Locks the brightness and orientation to your preferred setting so that your screen does not keep bugging you while you read. • Puts down Ring/Notification volume so that notifications do not disturb you while you read. • All these settings are user configurable to their best comfort. • Reverts settings back to normal when Reading Mode is switched off. • Super light weight.

Reading Mode APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Reading Mode APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is a1262b7cd161b826deedb5ebc7d28bf1.
