Comments on Black Light for Android

★★★★★ Ashley Neal (Smash) · Dec 14, 2023

I like this app it really does work, but it could be better

★★★★★ Joseph Viellette · Feb 17, 2025

Must use the camera lense to see blood or suspect stains (like in hotels). Black light bulb is a gimmick but the lense function works really well at revealing.

★★★★★ *JinxedLupiePrincess* M_H_F (Chelle) · Feb 7, 2023

So far so good! I think it's nice🙄I mean, it is, what it IS. The app info clearly states that it is not a true black light. Soooo🤷🏼‍♀️

★★★★★ Mike Bickel · May 26, 2023

It has been alot of fun, because of the optionx.

★★★★★ WAYNEDASTAR · Feb 3, 2023

Needs to be shine more and then it's perfect! Spotlight!

★★★★★ tazz brianna · May 18, 2023

Fun, Cool app, lets me see what's naked to the eye

★☆☆☆☆ Joy Terhune · Jul 15, 2025

I wanted a black light to shine on something. This is not what I was looking for. It just shows you a black light bulb.

★☆☆☆☆ Amanda Hardy · Mar 14, 2026

Not a black light anywhere but inside the screen. Any other black light named bulb outside a phone is only named black light when it shines on everything else besides itself, or it's not named like this app says.

★☆☆☆☆ Bob · Jul 28, 2025

This is in no way a genuine black light. It just makes a purple/pink colored light that doesn't even look like a black light.

★☆☆☆☆ Mike Curtis · Feb 7, 2025

Does not work! Tested using this app as it illuminates the screen with more of a red glow on a UV / black light tattoo ink. Compared to a true black light. Unfortunate.
