Review summary

Users praise Screen Flashlight for its simple, easy-to-use design with adjustable brightness, color choices, and flashing modes. The screen-based light is preferred over the camera flash and is handy for warnings and nighttime use. Common complaints focus on ads (and desire for an ad-free version), difficulty closing the app, and a wish for darker brightness options.

Pros

Simple and easy-to-use interface.
Flexible brightness control with comfortable light levels.
Color options and flashing modes for signaling or warning light.
Uses the screen instead of the camera flash (gentler lighting and privacy).
Lightweight and reliable for basic lighting tasks without extra data requests.

Cons

Ads are present in the app (disruptive); users frequently request an ad-free paid version.
Cannot easily close or exit the app (closing the app is tedious).
Some users want a darker/light mode or stronger dimming options (brightness could be darker for certain uses).

2025-06-01	Am*****	Great, simple app! It does what it's supposed to without ads. I just upgraded to the Galaxy 25 ultra, and it's no longer compatible 😭. Please update it! I've used this app for years, and the others just are NOT as good!

2018-08-06	A *****	The option to keep screen on while touching screen makes it the best. No other app does it. Suggestion. Let users configure the default screen light mode, it always uses bright screen and many user may want black mode . The flaw: at 100% of slider Brightness is dimmed (moto g turbo Marshmallow, no auto Brightness. It seems to be a bug affecting other apps, probably a Google bug. App could remember the Brightness position as a workaround. Miss a payed (no adds) version. I would pay for that

2018-02-20	A *****	I love this app, I have been using it for years. I much prefer it to flashlights that use the camera flash, those are too bright. Besides pretty much every phone has that built in. My only complaint is that it has ads. I'd happily pay for an ad free version.

2018-01-17	A *****	Great as a warning light! I use this when walking on narrow, curved streets at night. You can set the color and speed of the flashing, or just use the red and blue flashing light. Plus, since it's using your screen, you can still use your camera flash to light your way.
