Was working well but then after a few calls, the call flash function stopped working. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, restarting my phone, and checked the call flash enable in settings. I cannot get the flash to work on calls. Other than that issue, the SMS flash feature works well.

would like a flash brightness /intensity level setting if is technically /electronically possible to change the brightness of the led flash lamp of a phone so that when it's in my shirt pocket it don't blind people when the flash goes off when notifying. plus also more flexible settings to set millisecond on flash lower than 50ms and off flash higher than 1000ms and if technically and electronically possible a pulse of the flash led lamp instead of a flash.

Would have rated 5, but the accessibility automatically turns to OFF. I then have to turn it ON again to get the flash alert. What should i do to make it permanently ON?

Was working fine for a week. Loved it. Working with everything. Then like some other users here have said, after I had a crash (receiving a KIK message at the time), it no longer works. Tried reinstalling, no luck to fix it. On a Moto G Play using alternative 2 flash setting.
