Don't Blink

"Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast. Faster than you can believe. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and DON'T blink."
This unofficial app, in no way endorsed by the BBC, gives you a Weeping Angel widget to put on your home screen. It does nothing. It does not move.

Not when you're looking at it, anyway.

--

Please note that Doctor Who and the Weeping Angels are copyright the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), and this app is just something I hacked together on Friday night because, hey, I was excited about Day of the Doctor coming out tomorrow.

Note that it *doesn't
* use your device's camera to see if you're blinking
- unfortunately that would drain your battery too fast :-(

This little novelty app is /just/ a widget
- there's no launcher icon! You need to add it your home screen just like you would any other widget
- depending on what device you use, the way to your list of available widgets is different. Try one of these ways:


* when you go to see your list of applications, is there a 'Widgets' tab?
- if there is, tap it, and 'Don't Blink' should be in there.
* if you hold your finger down on an empty space in your homescreen, does the menu that comes up have until 'Widgets' entry? if so, 'Don't Blink' should be in there!

This is farely creepy but cool. Also if you have seen doctor who before downloading this it is not that scary just creepy. I suggest making it so that whenever you blink it moves. I also suggest that it does different poses so that it is more interesting each movement. I understand if this is quite impossible but I believe that it will indeed make this app/widget way cooler and creepier, I hope you take my suggestions.

I nearly threw my phone when I saw the angel's face on my screen I just screen locked my phone after installing the widget,the angel wasn't facing me.And when I unlocked it,there the angel staring at me,angry face.(You'd imagine that) I don't know the transition would be like that. Anyway I love this app.I recommended this to my sister.She'd like it

It isn't as good as five nights at freaddys but it's awesome I love it it should jump scare you at the end that would be vary cool for the next update who thinks that's a good o r bad idea.

I love that it changes positions. It would be great if it didn't do the same positions each time. So maybe 2 angels that move around. Then back to one but it's movements are different. This way you don't expect same thing from the angel. Love this app it's lots of fun esp. If you forget about it.

Would be awsome as a background although im unsure of the feasibility of that. Just a thought about the not useing camera thing, you could use the camera every x-minutes for 15 seconds or so and if during that time the screen was not being looked at you could change the image of the angel.

okay, I kind of exaggerated on the title a bit. but I am very mad! the Weeping Angels take less than a millisecond to notice your eyes are closed. its been 5 minutes and it hasn't moved once!!! No offense don't waste your time unless you want a non moving widget on your screen. don't mean to hurt your feelings whoever created this, but please try to make it a little quicker!!!

Really creepy and cool. Could be better if you could make the widget bigger than 3ร—2 and have more variety of movement.

Jes. S. May 20, 2015     

I loved it, works perfectly! Even scared my older brothers with how it moves. But there should be static if it tries changing in the middle of loading another app and if, since I don't remember, there should be more brackets with the angel. The claws, etc.

Would be good if you had some options to change scenes or backgrounds. Would be great if the widget came in different sizes... like full screen. 3x2 is too small to make it scary in ANY way. Great idea but obviously a rushed product... has great potential. Also, how about a live wallpaper? THAT would be AWESOME!!!

I didn't work for me. I looked at it, I looked away, I turned of my phone and tried blinking, nothing works. If it worked for you please tell me how to use it. I'm a big doctor who fan, and I really want it to work

I had the app for about twenty minutes and I couldn't get it to work. Ir just sat there looking away for a while, and I tried everything. As I was going to uninstall the app, it changed. I really enjoyed this app overall now that it started working!

They say dont blink or image will change. I blinked 5 times and same image. I even looked away for a min and still same image

It would be cool if every minute or so the Weeping Angel moves, and me being an EXTREME Whovian, I think it's a great concept, maybe whenever you leave the screen. It could move

Jon. T. Apr 7, 2015     

The only problem I'm having with it is that the weeping angle only moves when I lock the screen. It doesn't do anything when I open an app. I have the Samsung note 4 and just recently updated the phone. Idk if it is the widget or the phone but I would give 5 starts if the angel moved when I'm in an app.

I have 8 on one page an 1 on the home screen. The only problem is it only changes only when I turn off my phone. ๐Ÿ˜ž

This is really awesome, and I get goosebumps every time it changes, but maybe there could be more positions, like claws out, or they dissappear from the screen all together, and maybe some static. But other than that, best app ever!

Mat. Nov 17, 2016     

I wish it would change as soon as you change screens when you go in a app and come back out it should have changed but it doesn't

Ada. G. Feb 13, 2015     

I'm not convinced by this but also the weeping doesn't move like I thought it would.

Jos. F. Jan 9, 2015     

I would love this even more if i could put it on my locj screen or it actually be a live wallpaper not a widget but overall it's great

Lyd. S. Jan 18, 2017     

As a big Doctor Who fan, I highly recommend it! I installed it and it wouldn't change for a while. I went to bed and forgot it the next day and it scared me so much! It also scares random intruders too.

Ste. G. Aug 12, 2015     

I'm a huge whovian, an my favorite villain is the weeping angel, but after installing it, it wasn't in my widget list. Please help, it looks amazing

Blu. B. S. Sep 22, 2015     

I'm seriously spooked having this on my home screen makes weeping angels seem real :0

Hay. Y. Dec 26, 2014     

Just asking but could you make it where it uses the camera instead so u actually can't blink

Des. A. Aug 18, 2015     

But it recently stopped working on my note 4. The widget just stays stuck all the time on the first image.

There should be like, different backgrounds you could choose, like a graveyard or mansion or something and they should have claws or dissapear or something
