Jitsumi's Blue-Light Filter Reviews

nothing much to say, but it works

bought this after buying their other software, it does what it says it does.

Upon trying to first launch, got the error from Steam: Operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software. (0xE1) Checked Windows Defender, and saw that the Blue Light Filter was trying to run Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.H!ml - Details: This program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker. The file was automatically deleted by Windows Defender. If this is a false positive, it's one I've never seen before. I would not recommend this program unless the developer responds with proof that it's safe. (I had to put a substitute exe into the software's folder to be able to have it considered 'running' long enough to leave this review.) Even if it's a false positive, I'd rather be safe than sorry when it comes to using Windows, and trust Windows Defender's warning. I've been a Linux user for many years, and aren't used to getting malware.

This software requires a constant internet connection to work, and even when a stable one is presented, it will crash every few minutes. Have emailed the dev a couple of times with no response. Why is the constant connection needed for a simple light filter, you ask? Who knows. If you believe the dev's intentions are entirely innocent despite this, bear in mind that every time your connection drops, this thing will stop working and ask you to email the dev with a bug report. They won't reply. Like I said before, it'll crash with alarming regularity, even with a clean connection. I've had it for a good while and there haven't been any attempts made to update or improve anything. I'm sorry to say this is literally one of the worst things I've ever seen on this platform. I'll remove this review if it's ever fixed or if the dev ever replies, but we both know that's not going to happen.
