Comments on Simple Flashlight Widget for Android

★★★★★ Santosh kumar Muniganti · Apr 14, 2026
5 stars for the simplicity. App is good overall but please improve the responsiveness of the light animation on screen every while the light is toggled.
★★★★☆ A Google User · Jun 29, 2014
Easy Flashlight and nothing more. Completely ad-free, No crazy permissions require. Not the Lightest one, but simple very simple. Widget turns light on and off simple. His Icon appears in the Taskbar while light is on. No settings at all, LACK a timer for auto off or Adjustable brightness. Nevertheless, It's an easy flashlight, keeps it quick & easy!
★☆☆☆☆ J Wilson · Jan 8, 2023
Like the full power brightness. But widget doesn't work unless you start the app directly from its icon first. Once you do that the widget works. But you shouldn't have to do that!
★☆☆☆☆ Mykola Prokopchuk · Aug 14, 2022
When the light is on it shows that my camera is recording, that is not supposed to be like that, don't download this, it's probably a scam
★☆☆☆☆ A Google User · Nov 15, 2014
Flash turns off when screen switching (off
