Review summary

Lighter aims to be a simple lighter/flashlight app with some color options and casual appeal. However, reviews repeatedly criticize intrusive ads and a costly, unreliable paywall that doesn’t reliably remove ads or unlock features. Some users still enjoy the basic function, but the advertising-heavy experience dominates usability.

Pros

The app provides a functioning lighter/flashlight experience.
Simple, casual concept that some users find fun to use.
Some reviewers give it positive ratings (e.g., “It’s great”, “I like it”, “9/10”).

Cons

Intrusive, persistent advertising (full-screen ads, banners, launch ads) that disrupt usage.
Expensive premium and unreliable ad removal (the Pro upgrade is costly and ads persist even after purchasing or restoring).
Paywalls lock features (such as color changes) behind a paid tier, reducing the free experience.

2026-06-17	Gr*****	Also shows some scammy ads, like “your phone has been infected, click here to get an app to disinfect.” Just not worth the hassle. And the paid version has a MONTHLY fee!

2024-10-15	Un*****	Terrible “free” app. Full colors locked behind a pay wall and there’s ads everywhere. They even show up while you have the lighter going. I got this to use at concerts but I’d have to check the screen every 10 or 20 seconds to make sure the flame is still showing. No way I’m paying them anything if their “free” app is this horrible.

2023-12-20	na*****	As of this writing (Dec 2023) the app asks you to pay an astronomical 18USD Subscription for it's "pro" version. It's......a lighter app. Reoccurring $18 dollar charge on your bill, for a lighter app!!! Truly redonkulous. "But you don't have to pay it!" Oh no, you're right, but then it waits a bit and shows a full screen advertisement. So when you're trying to be cheeky and you've flipped it open during a concert or whatever you'll think you're the epitome of cool, but instead you're a fool with an advertisement for foot cream waving in the air like you just don't care. So you've managed to close the full screen ad, and now there's a constant banner ad with a full white background that's brighter than the actual flame of the lighter. Pathetic. I recommend becoming a smoker and then you'll have a real lighter on you and save money at the same time.
