Flashlight ☼ for Android
You gotta love app designers who think of the user first! Lights easily from screen or camera light, ads that only take up a small out-of-the-way banner at bottom that's removable in settings...I left bc they should get something for this friendly app. I've been cleaning out my app list for invasive free apps that are gathering all kinds of private info for marketing schemes. If you've been getting marketing calls to you home and cell more more recently then definitely look up each app to see what it does.
This is a great flashlight app, especially the fact that you can disable ads without having to pay, but there is one small problem. I use this app for the widget, and on my LG G3, whenever I turn it on, I cannot turn it off unless I enter the app to manually turn it off. Can you please fix this? Thank you for your time.
I just trashed a bunch of flashlight apps with 1 star reviews. Finally hit Google to search. An article suggested this app. You have EVERYTHING I want. Bright light, we can turn ads off (and I will even click one since you let us turn them off for free!) and it stays on when I shut off phone. BEST FLASHLIGHT SO FAR! PEOPLE, THIS IS YOUR APP! TRUST ME! 5 STARS!
Just when you couldn't get no better here comes a little doozy of an app works as advertised no scratch that works better than advertised a must-have for everyone I don't give 5 stars often but this one definitely deserve it way to go guys keep it up!!!!
Got this one after reading about all the unnecessary crap on other flashlight apps. This one looks good, works well and only does what it should.
Very easy to use an turn on/off certain battery saving options you can set to automatically turn the light on/off when unattended timeout periods you can customize to what you choose! Also gives you the option to turnoff timeout/shutoff time limits in order to keep it from going off during something. Needing constant no halogen yellow blinding glare is minimal if at all noticeable! So easy a 3yr old could use it an also aware enough to shutoff if Laid face down or in a place when light Isnt projecting such as in your pocket/phone. Case etc that when that occurs it will shutoff automatically after your timeout parameters you have set or app default settings!Simple Effective 1 Touch screen on/off light switch for immediate on when you touch App Bulb to open the light comes on as soon as app screen opens! Thats what I like most about it is how fast&easy you have a great light to work with 1-3sec tops depending on your PHONE OP SYSTEM/RAM IS USING USING YOU TAP TO OPEN IT!
Good features and can be added to lock screen :) Optional shake to activate function would be handy but not essential given lock screen feature. Love the pocket sensing idea.
Only askes for access to camera, has nice dark themes, stays lit when turning screen off which is great and shows battery life.
Why does this now turn off randomly despite having the settings to keep it on at all times? It worked fine for a year on all my other phones and as soon as i upgraded to an S7 it turns off as it pleases.
Great app, odd permissions though. All the options you need in a flashlight and then some.
Love this app. Simple and elegant. These guys nailed it. I researched for the best flashlights a while ago and settled on this one. Somehow I lost it, probably drunk and accidentally deleted it! Anyway, in a hurry I downloaded the fancy one at the top of the list. That was about a month ago. My phone has been running like crap, ads have been rampant, and the flashlight had a mind of its own. I highly recommend you use this flashlight. I like it so much that I leave the setting to turn the ads off set to on.

Not the most attractive graphics. The flashlight does quickly and effectively ignite via my camera light, but the Homescreen of my phone also turns into a very BRIGHT white. (Surgery for a burst brain aneurysm left me with damage that makes me almost totally incapable of viewing bright whites -- which ISN'T the situation with the vast majority of people!!!
All other flashlights I have tried turn off when my phone goes to sleep this is the only one I found that did not do that.
No extra permissions, even lets you shut the ads off- for free. Has 3 no-nonsense widgets, and useful extra features, like auto-pocket-shutoff and lets you switch between LED and Screen lights. A useful app that does exactly what it says? Whooda thunk.
Free, about as small as can be (<1MB), only requires exactly the one permission it requires to function, has three sizes of customizable widgets to quickly and easily turn on light from your home screen, just the right amount of features, and ads and usage tracking can be disabled.
... which is annoying. Otherwise seems fine. Htc one m8
This app is everything I was looking for when searching for flashlights for my phone. It runs in the background so I can turn my phone screen off, and the ads are relatively nice (not virus ads), but there's even an option to turn ads off.
The best flashlight/torch app I've found by far! It works quickly, for starters (especially its widget which is almost as fast as my Galaxy's native flashlight widget but with a brighter light than the native widget). But I've tried at least a dozen flashlight apps, and even with the good ones, I would accidentally turn them on and drain the battery or after awhile I'd notice that the phone was getting very hot in my pocket! Finally, I've found this app which can automatically shut itself off after a time period such as 30 seconds or 5 minutes, and even shut off more quickly if you put it in your pocket or purse or against your ear . These settings work regardless of whether you use the widget (which indicates by its icon whether the light is on or off) or run the app itself. While the light is on it shows up in the notification list so you can see it's on and shut it off there too. If it shuts itself off automatically it shows a message (toast) to indicate whether it was because of the timeout or because you put it in your pocket. In the settings you can opt out of advertising and even anonymous usage statistics.
No unnecessary permissions, no ads (may be disabled), good configuration ability. Being shocked about 5-10 MB flashlight apps, found this nice helper.
Most important thing for me is fast flashlight launch and this app has it. Other apps were too slow.
Been through a few of these. When I open the app it starts and that is a feature I am looking for. Fast response for times when I need it. Shuts off on its own when I exit with no ads so far. Please donate if you like it. I don't know the developers but great job.
It takes less memory & it is so simple in using it's functions are also easy i like this app
Is there a way to get lockscreen widget in Galaxy S7? Awesome app with lots of options and nice clean widget! NO WEIRD PERMISSIONS! A+
Very useful and no security issues with annoying pop ups
I love this flashlight app cause it will still turn ON after being close unlike all other flashlight apps. 5stars guys
Stays on even while screen is off.
If it's an LED Flashlight it doesn't work...
I downloaded this on my first phone and it worked great. Now, I have a newer phone and the option for the camera light is gone. Why?
Great app, odd permissions though. All the options you need in a flashlight and then some.
Didn't work on my Samsung s7
Constantly crashes, and if the screen shuts off while it's on I have to restart to phone before I can use it again
I like the resizable widget, as it makes it easy to find and click. This replaces the one that Sprint's LG G2 Lollipop update removed.
I've never reviewed an app before because none of them have been worth it--but wow. This app has everything you could want (ability to turn off ads for free, theme customization for in app and widgets, ability to stay on after app is exited or phone is locked); not to mention non-invasive permissions and a low storage use. Thank you for this app!
A choice of widgets and settings. Took me a while to find the right app, this is it. Thanks!
It only asks to access your camera to work. Just like a flashlight should. Nice and bright. If you are having a problem with it staying lit for only a few seconds, turn off the pocket feature. Or be careful not to block the front facing camera, I believe that's where the sensor is.
The privacy and advertisement features make this a top notch app. Thanks you!

This is a simple free light that lets you take out the adds. It's great and customizable. You can program it as well. Awesome great light app.
