User Reviews

The app is generally liked for reliable, frequent use and strong light in many reviews, but users repeatedly cite ads, reliability issues (turning off/flashing), and a paid ad-free model as major drawbacks. Brightness and pocket-activation battery drain are additional concerns that appear across reviews.
Pros
  • Strong overall user sentiment: multiple reviews describe the app as great/awesome and say they use it frequently.
  • Reliable flashlight for many users: reviewers report it works well as a flashlight and remains usable across scenarios (including comments about it working well after fixes).
  • Notable brightness claims: at least one reviewer calls it the brightest flashlight app they’ve found.
  • Privacy-conscious note: a reviewer appreciates lack of extensive tracking compared with other flashlight apps.
Cons
  • Intrusive ads and hard-to-close banners: several reviews mention ads and even clickbait-like promotions harming the experience.
  • Unreliable/off/on behavior: multiple reviews report the light turning off unexpectedly, flashing, or not staying on.
  • Paywall for ad-free use: some users complain about paying for an ad-free experience (subscription/one-time fee).
  • Brightness inconsistency: some users say it’s not very bright, while others praise its brightness, indicating inconsistent performance across devices or situations.
  • Pocket-activation draining battery: a reviewer notes the flashlight turns on in the pocket, wasting battery.

Illegal acts, installed on my phone by someone else. This person committed bank fraud on me twice, stole my identity and opened my mail. Hostile takeover by wall wanderers in Massachusetts. Shadow people are real.
