For ride share and delivery drivers, the best way to get started is by making your own logo signs. First, search for the company logo you want and either take a screenshot or download the image file. Next, open the file in your Gallery (or photos app). You may need to adjust the image to prevent it from getting cut off when your phone is flipped to landscape mode. The easiest way is to tap the pen 🖊️ icon and drag the cropping tool until it reads 16:9 (the common phone aspect ratio). Save the cropped image.
Now, open Bright-Dash and tap "Get Started," then "Bright-Dash Signs." Select the Add Photo icon in the lower right corner and choose your cropped image. Done! The logo is now saved in your quick-use folder.
💡Tip: Use the Custom Text Sign and turn on the Custom Text Slideshow to make a personal sign for your rider.
Use the Mood Light feature to add a personal touch or ambient color to your environment, camping setup, or whenever you feel like adding some light.
I personally use the Mood Light when I get up at night. It provides just enough light so I don't have to turn on a bright room light, and it definitely helps me avoid stepping on the cat!🙀
Use the Custom Text Sign to create any message you need. This feature is fully customizable, allowing you to choose your text color and background color for a unique, personal sign. You can even use Emojis😁with this feature, for added fun and expression!
Unleash your creativity with the Create with AI feature to make truly personal, custom signs. The sky is the limit!
Tip for Perfect Signs: Most AI-powered image generators naturally produce square pictures, which will require cropping to fit your phone's screen when flipped sideways (landscape mode).
Developer Note: I've added a piece of hidden text into the AI prompt that requests the correct aspect ratio (16:9), but this doesn't always work perfectly. If your generated image is square, you may still need to use your phone's gallery editor to crop it before adding it to Bright-Dash. (See the Custom Logo Sign instructions for how to crop to 16:9.)
Use the Custom Text Slideshow feature to create a personalized message that is displayed as a repeating loop with one of your custom signs.
The app will display one sign, and then automatically switch to the other, making your message highly visible. You can adjust the slideshow speed.
You can save up to five custom signs and slideshows (including any saved Mood Light settings) in the Load/Save Quick Signs area. Keep your absolute favorites here for instant access!
💡Quick-Switch Tip for Drivers: This feature is incredibly useful if you are working on multiple platforms at once (multi-apping). You can switch your sign from Uber to Lyft to DoorDash with just a quick couple of taps!
Two of Bright-Dash's key features are optimizing your screen's visibility and making sure it stays on while you need it.
Brightness Control:
Use the Brightness Slider control to adjust the screen intensity.
Note: Brightness is set to 100% by default for maximum visibility.
Keep Screen On:
The Keep Screen On switch is enabled by default. When active, it prevents your device from going to sleep while a sign is displayed.
Since Bright-Dash is designed to maximize your screen brightness and keep the display active, these features can cause your battery to drain fast.
Safety Feature: The Keep Screen On feature will automatically disable itself when your battery level drops to 15%. This is to ensure you have enough power left for other essential phone functions.
