Review summary

Users praise the Flashlight Widget for its simple, lightweight design, ad-free experience, and reliability across many devices, plus easy home-screen placement. However, recurring issues include breakage after updates, dimness or lack of brightness control on some devices, device-specific sizing or alignment problems, occasional crashes, and moments when the widget disappears or is hard to relocate. Overall, it’s a handy, unobtrusive tool that works well on many devices but has notable reliability and UI quirks on certain models and Android versions.
Pros
  • Simple, lightweight widget with minimal UI
  • Reliable across many devices and generally easy to use
  • Ad-free experience (no ads)
  • Bright light when it works and covers a wide area
  • Easy to place on the home screen as a quick on/off widget
Cons
  • Updates can cause it to stop functioning or break (reliability after updates)
  • Brightness can be dim or not adjustable on some devices
  • Device-specific sizing/alignment issues (e.g., too small on certain phones) and UI placement quirks
  • Crashes or causes the home/launcher to crash when interacted with
  • Occasional disappearance or difficulty relocating the widget on the home screen

Update: came back ~8 years later, 5 stars on the Pixel 10 Pro! Works, but is much too small on Galaxy S7 Edge.
