How reliable are Shaders on Mobile?

I know it is not advised to use Shaders or layer blend modes for mobile games but it seems to be working on Android without any issues. I am working on a day/night cycle and would prefer a better option than lowering the opacity of a solid color layer.

Should we still avoid using Shaders on mobile games even with Stencyl 4.1 on the newer versions of Android and iOS?

Perhaps avoiding shaders made sense back when they were first introduced. Probably not so much anymore, unless you want to support really low-end devices and find them to decrease performance.

Thanks Justin! In Stencyl's scene>shaders section it still says they only work on Windows/Mac/Linux so I was a little reluctant to use them. I appreciate your input!
