Major sensitivity issues. At the highest setting it's too difficult to turn on on purpose, however dropping or throwing your phone turns it on regardless even at the highest sensitivity. Also randomly needs to be reinstalled or just turns off or on without any input. This is a basically useless app because the whole point is to be able to pull your phone out of your pocket shake it and turn your flashlight on but this simply does not work like that.
