User Reviews

Users appreciate Simple Flashlight Widget for its full brightness, simple and ad-free design, and small size. However, multiple users criticize the app's intrusive permissions requests, especially for camera and recording features, which seem unnecessary. There are also issues with the widget requiring manual app start before functioning, occasional unresponsiveness, and background processes running without user initiation. Some users wish for adjustable brightness and timer features, which have been partially addressed.

Pros

Full power brightness and effective flashlight function
Simple design, easy to use, and minimalistic approach
No annoying ads, completely ad-free experience
Useful widget to toggle flashlight
Small app size

Cons

App requests unnecessary and intrusive permissions, especially camera and recording permissions
Widget requires starting the app manually first to work properly
Some users report the flashlight becoming unresponsive after initial use
Lack of adjustable brightness and timer in early versions (though timer was later added)
Background process runs even when the app is not started

Like the full power brightness. But widget doesn't work unless you start the app directly from its icon first. Once you do that the widget works. But you shouldn't have to do that!
