Official Turn Off the Lights Blog

Turn Off the Lights v1.2 for iPhone and iPad is rolling out worldwide now. Big improvement in the webview engine (Apple WKWebView) and its support finally 3D Touch! So you can open fast a new tab, private mode tab or your bookmarks sidebar.

3D Touch Support

When you press hard on the Turn Off the Lights app icon that is visible on your home screen (only for iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus). You will see a small menu show up below the app icon, here you can open direct a new tab without opening first the app. 3D Touch is an easy and fast way to navigate outside the iOS app.

Multitasking Split View

Are you watching a YouTube movie on the iPad or even the iPad Pro device. There is good news for you! Now you can split the Turn Off the Lights app on the left side, and read your emails or news on the right side. And you can interact with both of them.

User Interface

In the previous Turn Off the Lights iOS app version, it was kindly different to close the ‘new tab’ that is already open. To close that ‘new tab’, you must do a long press on the tab name, and then you see the dialog box to remove your chosen tab.
In this new app version we make it a bit easy for you as a user. We added right of the new tab title an X icon. So you can close easy the new tab page. This feature is also available in the bookmarks sidebar on your right side.
And this free app has also the latest translation in Basque, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian Bokmål, Russian, Spanish and Turkish.

Begin October our team went to the first Belgium Apple Store. To review the new store design and to try out the new Apple Watch and iPhones. What we noticed is that the colors you always see at the Apple Store is white, green (for the trees) and the light brown for the demo tables.
And one of the problems is that when a user browse the web on a smaller screen, you see so much white light shining on his face. And at night you can clearly see the difference when you walk on the street. That’s where Turn Off the Lights will solve this issue. That’s why black is the default color to dims the web page on any device.

We happy to announce that Turn Off the Lights is available on the Apple App Store. It’s a dark mobile web browser, with the white lamp button right of the address bar. It has the same concept as in the desktop browser such as Google Chrome and Safari. This to focus the HTML5 video player and to dark the rest on the web page. You can get free Turn Off the Lights for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch today in the Apple App Store.

Design and user-friendly

This app everything you need just like a regular browser: tabs, history to browser to a previous web page, bookmarks for your favorite links, Google search (or you can use Bing or Duck Duck), and an incognito mode to browser privately. Everything is designed to search and browse the web at night.

Power and Speed

Internet is all about the speed, and the Turn Off the Lights app for your iOS device have the latest webkit rendering engine (the WKWebView engine). That is the same as in the Apple Safari web browser.

If you want to give Turn Off the Lights a whirl, it’s available now as a free app. You need only an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch device with iOS 8 or higher.
