Flanex - Flashlight for Nexus

I love this flashlight app. But the App name is pretty Confused. If This Apps Name "FlashliteNex" Would have been so much better. Other then that, This App is the Best Flashlight App Ever.

Been using this for years. Not only does it work on Nexus phones, I've also used it on LG G2, LG G3, Samsung Galaxy S6, and Moto XT1225 (Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo). Simple, easy flashlight.

Works well.

Awesome flashlight widget, simple clean and bright

I tried just about every flashlight app available on Google Play and Nexus Flashlight is the BEST! Easy to use, and ultra bright. I setup the widget on my home screen and anytime I need light a super-bright LED is at my disposal. I am not sure how many lumens this puts out but I will research the specs and edit this review. Don't waste your time looking, this one's the best! * Edit: This light puts out xx lumens!

This is what I expected a flashlight app to be: small, simple, non-invasive, and well-executed. No ridiculous 4+MB download. Not a lot of unnecessary frills and whiz-bang overblown features. No requests to know my location, WiFi password, social security number, and what I ate for lunch yesterday. Just a simple flashlight with a simple widget at a 1/3MB download. Going to kick the tires for a little while, and if all is well, I'll gladly update to the donate version.

This the best Flashlight App because it doesn't require internet access and network view permission at all. which other spying flashlight apps used internet access, internet data and other unnecessary permissions. It even work so perfectly on my Android Tablet device. So it's very Safe Flashlight App.

It was very hard to find a simple flashlight app that wasn't also trying to be 3 other things. Works on my nexus 5 no lag at all compared to other flash light apps I have tried. Unfortunately the widget needs to be turned on then off then on again to activate the LED.

Works well on Moto x. It doesn't require all those crazy permissions like some other flashlight apps (location, call logs, etc). Smooth, clean, and simple app. Just straight forward. No lag or crashes. Great job!

This app is tiny, under 500kb installed! Previous torch app went to 28mb and started to throw some big adverts up. This app may seem basic, but it works brilliantly. I don't need loads of colours on screen, I want my led to act like a torch and this does exactly that. Already install on various friends and families phones as it so good.

Nothing fancy. Just a simple widget that activates the flashlight without loading the app. Just simply on and off. I really like that out have me options when i dropped the widget into my screen. Additionally out activates my flashlight the second i got the widget. Much appreciated!

unreliable on nexus 5 android version 4.4.4. have to press widget three times to get it to turn on initially. other apps do it instantly the first time.

I have tried quite a few torch apps. but they all seem to be overly complicated. This works really well for me as all I want is a simple and effective light. The widget works well too.

Htc one m7, doesn't work with locked screen, otherwise works fine (didn't test widgets). Very much dislike the icon, it could be anything.

Unable to turn off LED since move to Android 7. Sometimes turns off by itself. Great app, but needs an update.

This app works with many more devices than Nexus. It probably works with every device that has a camera flash. However, Nexus Flashlight is still a fitting name. Nexus devices aren't loaded with bloatware or gimmicks, unlike most flagship phones today. This app doesn't have a strobe, it doesn't let you send morse code messages, it's just a flashlight, which is exactly how it should be.

Okay but the widget never works first time

Also has permissions that make sense, unlike many spyware apps masquerading as legitimate.

It can have its hiccups sometimes. For example, I have the widget/toggle on my home screen & every time I turn it on I have to turn it back off & turn it on again to work. It never works on the first try.

Can't connect to camera error after app quits by itself.

Perfect for my Nexus 5. I used quite a few top ranked flash light apps but didn't work. This one works pretty well.

Works as advertised on my Nexus 5. But it consumes too much RAM for such a small app. Please work on this.

On the optimus g pro its laggy using the widget..

Uses camera's led, but will not send packets to the Internet without my permission.

Works great on galaxy SIII perfect replacement for the dull and boring stock widget. Nice job

This is simplicity personified, this is what people want. Not with bells and whistles. Less is more !

Active even after the screen locks! The perfect match for my phone.

Simple, quick turn on, no asinine permissions. Brightness control would make it a six star app! Update:After having it a while and learning more about my phone, I now have it on the lock screen and set to come on when swiping the icon to unlock phone -OK now it's a six star app! Still hoping for brightness control. Maybe when the developer has a little too much time on his hands ;) Almost forgot: nice too be able to keep light on while using another app to see how to do what it is you're illuminating :D

Only needs access to the camera as it should be for a flashlight app. Also no annoying adds. Just perfect!

I love its simplicity. One button on its only screen. You choose if exiting the app turns off the LED. you choose if the app auto turn on the LED on start. You also have a widget.

Small size, looks good and doesn't ask for a ton of unnecessary permissions. Widget is quick and responsive on my Nexus 5.

Awesome!

When it works, it's great, but it often locks up after I switch it off and won't turn back on without a phone restart. (Nexus 5) It's actually dangerous, as I use this walking the dog in the dark to alert cars to our presence. Uninstalling.

It's a great torch/flashlight which looks smart, works cleanly & is easy to use on KitKat on Nexus 5. I'm about to uninstall now as Lollipop has a torch app built in, so I don't need it anymore, but would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for one. It also has a few timer features which the stock Lollipop flashlight doesn't have. It also has an easier to use larger button than the Lollipop app if you have cold or wet fingers or have trouble using small icons.

But the latest update introduced a widget bug - doesn't work upon first press. But it's small and non-intrusive, so thanks for that :)

Even though lollipop has a flashlight toggle in the pulldown menu, this is faster, and works like a charm.

The feature I love the most is that the LED light remains on when I close the cover on the Nexus 5 so my screen stays protected.

I've tried lots and I keep coming back to this as it does exactly what I want on note 4

Lollipop has native support so uninstalling.
