5 ★ hands down the best flashlight function out there. It is not an app but a proper widget, and works even with turning the screen off and has a small button. its about time someone did an actual smart version..congrats! I will buy any apps or widgets from this maker if they do things this cleaver and simple. cheers!
5 ★ The best app to do the job! No hussle at all! And and it is light too, and I mean very very light. Keep up the good work :)!
5 ★ Just as described. Simple app to turn on flashlight, end of story.
4 ★ for a long time it worked great! now after changing storage protocol on my Motorola e4 its not responding and i uninstalled it reinstalled it and ....same thing!!!! please fix or tell me what to do! i need it back....please! Well,the Motorola e4 gives you a choice on how to use the SD, at first i used it as a external drive and i could use it in other devices,but you couldn't move any apps to it...so i changed the setting after backing up all my data on the SD because it was reformated.
5 ★ Like previous comments, when I install it , the icon does not display It worked great on Android 7(Moto G 6 Play) . Since I now have Android 8 , on Moto E5 Play, I lost this great widget .I've tried uninstalling /reinstalling several times but no luck. Finally, I GOT IT TO WORK ! The icon is hidden. Just hold down the home screen, go to widgets. Then scroll down until you find this Flashlight Widget and drag it to the Home screen. Hope this helps everyone !
5 ★ Works like a charm! I have used this one several phones now and love it every time. Have never had any real problems with it. FYI when you install the app if puts an icon on your screen. This is not the widget though on most phones that button will not do anything. You have to put the widget on your screen the same way you install other widgets on your phone. (Usually a long press on an empty part of the screen will bring up the options to add widgets)
5 ★ love this! its a quick lil flick just to turn the flash on and it stays on, even if you need to turn the screen off, it will stay on till you click it off! I like to use it late at night when i need to use the bathroom, it shines the room up perfect with out blinding you! that said it is the heavest thing on my phone right now energy wise lol
5 ★ This application does its job well and its only does its job and no more. In fact, there is not even an application avaliable here - its just the widget that toggles yourflash light and that is about it. When I searched the market for a widget that toggles the flashlight, I did not expected that I will actually find an app that does not also bundles lots of unnecessary stuff. And most of apps have names likes "ultra bright" or "super colourful" as if installing their apps magically turns portable android LED flashlight into a portable laser capable of destroying whole planet. But this wonderful app does exactly what it says on the tin and no more - "Flashlight widget" adds a widget that allows you to instantly toggle the flashlight in the same way as built-in widget in Android 4.0 or lower instead of having to pull down status bar and press a button there.
5 ★ The Flashlight Widget does just what I wanted it to do: If I click the icon on the home screen, the flashlight turns on, without having to open up a separate screen, and without displaying any ads. Also, the icon itself changes color when the flashlight turns on, allowing me to know simply by looking at the icon on the screen whether or not the flashlight is on.
1 ★ Doesn't create a widget in the list of widgets to add to home screen, but app says it only works as a widget. Hmm.
5 ★ This widget flashlight is GREAT I have been using it for quite some time now and have not had one issue at all with it, it's free, has no ads, lightweight, easy to use, dependable what more could you ask for. I think everybody should use this widget flashlight and abandon all the rest, and to the developer thank you for this amazing app, if this widget cost 3.99 I'd pay for it and you offer it for free, Come on people this app is great and it's free give this developer 5 stars
2 ★ Randomly stopped working today after working fine for almost a year. Uninstalled and re-downloaded, but it still isn't working.
5 ★ Everything I want in a flashlight app. Light, and nothing but light. This is my second phone I've installed the widget on. By being a widget it is always fast starting. The installer needs no permissions beyond camera so it's secure. I've looked at the source code and it is super simple.
4 ★ Loved this, but it has not worked in months. I hope the problem gets fixed, and if so, I will be reinstalling.
4 ★ I liked the app because it does what it says, though it has a major draw back. The app doesn't allow me to place the widget/icon as a shortcut in the shortcuts app section just above the home bar button. If the developer works on this option, I would change the rating to 5.
