Screen still too bright (fully dimmed) whilst reading in bed.
Any app or trick that can dim it more?
When iPad begins to go to sleep, it will dim just before it powers down, and that dim setting would be perfect for reading in bed!
Please, Apple, make the iPad screen more able to dim to a darker setting.
iPad mini Wi-Fi, iOS 7
If you find the minimum brightness still too bright for night-time reading, Apple has finally added a screen filter in iOS 8. Typically Android offered a way to reduce the minimum brightness via apps when the screen was still too bright for nighttime reading even when set to zero but now you can enable this in iOS:
Now when you push your home button 3 times quickly it will dim the entire screen for night-time reading.
I now leave in the low light dim-zoom mode most of the time and adjust brightness in that mode which goes to zero brightness if so desired...I only turn off zoom (low light with a triple click on the home button) when in full sun or need more brightness which is rarely

Third-party apps won't be able to affect the iPad's brightness, it will be down to the brightness setting that you've selected in Settings, or if the app that you are using has its own brightness setting. Depending upon what app that you are using to read (and what you are reading), you may find inverted colours better : Settings > General > Accessibility > Invert Colours 'on' (or you can set a triple-click of the home button to switch between inverted and normal colours via the Accessbility Shortcut option on the Accessibility screen)

I did in fact just leave a comment on future feature update for ios7 & passed it to Apple.
I can't possibly be the only guy with an iPad trying to read in bed at night, and finding the dimmest setting still too bright.
Thanks for your input!
I know what you mean, at night time when you're lying in bed it's just way to bright, it gives me a headache and I'm starting to get really annoyed because the only way you can dim it further is if you jailbreak your device and I'm not doing that :( Apple just don't care about their customers, as long as they're making bucket loads of money nothing else matters
I LOVE YOU OMG...THANK YOU SO MUCH! All I could find were stupid apps that would make ipad brighter. Thank you!
I'm no longer going blind from the bright screen. Thank you so much!
When you use the dimmer feature by tapping home 3 times quickly, the screen zooms though right?
If not, can you walk me through how to have that dimmed setting without everything getting so large?
Or is that the only way it works?... with the whole screen zoomed to make it dimmer...?

Hi. Please review the steps from @yojamey. I think setting the zoom region to full screen may make the zoom not a zoom.
Double tap with three fingers on your screen, it will show a normal non zoomed screen with the same dark tint.
Any app that can dim iPad screen more?
