## Review summary

Reviews are mixed. Some users find the app simple and effective, especially noting it can turn on the front flash without the camera and even offers an ad-free purchase. However, many reports describe inconsistent behavior and device compatibility issues: the app often says the device has no front flash or fails to detect it, even on phones that do have one (e.g., Galaxy J4 2018, J7 2016, Lenovo K8 Note). On some devices the front light drops during WhatsApp video calls or simply does not work. A widget feature request is common.

- Does not work on several popular devices (e.g., Galaxy J4 2018, Galaxy J7 2016, Lenovo K8 Note, Itel A55 Lite)
- Front flash goes off or doesn’t work during WhatsApp video calls
- Some reviews label the app as not functional or fake
