I love this App (or Widget, more precisely). It's got everything in one place, at always only one click of a distance. There is one caveat with this Widget, and only one that would make this perfect (or darn near close): It's the Battery consumption of this Widget, and there doesn't seem to be any option to try and regulate this aspect. Bluetooth On/Off Widget is always listed in my top 3 Apps that consume the most Battery when I look at my Battery history. Just this one thing...

This is great. If you want just the app that takes strait too Bluetooth and not widget, go for the app called "Bluetooth shortcut" it's blue and white. Hard time figuring out what one I wanted. Feathered Noodles out

Every time I get confused by the color of its widget whether Bluetooth is on or off.

This app doesn't work for me when I press off button it says Bluetooth on and when I press on it says off

I wanted an app to stop Bluetooth connection to my car or anything. This app could not help me. A name like on/off, says it could.

Technologies used by Bluetooth On/Off Widget
Bluetooth On/Off Widget is requesting 9 permissions and is using 5 libraries.
Permissions
Your location
approximate (network-based) location
Network communication
view network connections,
pair with Bluetooth devices,
full network access
Trust & Safety: The app requests a range of Bluetooth-related permissions (BLUETOOTH, BLUETOOTH_ADMIN, BLUETOOTH_SCAN, BLUETOOTH_CONNECT, BLUETOOTH_ADVERTISE) plus ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION and INTERNET. Location is used to discover nearby Bluetooth devices (Android 6.0+), and RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED helps restore widget state after reboot. While these permissions enable Bluetooth toggling and device discovery, users should review the permission prompts and ensure location privacy settings align with their preferences.
