### 2/5 — App store shows more features, download is only a switch

*2021-07-13, version 2.8.0*

I was very interested in the SOS and programmable strobe, but all I got was a light switch. No way to add the other features ? In app payment not accessible.

### 4/5 — What does this app do

*2020-07-31, version 2.7.0*

Opens with a picture of a light switch that you can turn on and off, but that is it, turning it on produces a fairly bright flood, is there anything else?

### 4/5 — Wow

*2017-09-01, version 2.6*

Wow it's awesome

### 5/5 — The most bright

*2017-02-16, version 2.6*

The most bright between free app for iPad

### 5/5 — Great light for iPad

*2017-02-06, version 2.6*

None of the other free flash lights were bright enough on my iPad. This one gets super bright!  Easy to use. And it's free.

### 1/5 — 使えなくなった

*2017-01-29, version 2.6*

アップデートしたらバグるようになりました。
ON・OFFが効かずずっと点きっぱなしだし、設定とかの項目もなくなっていて何も操作ができません。
何度アプリを閉じて開き直しても、スマホ自体を再起動してみても、症状は一切変わらず。
今まで問題なく使えていたのに非常に残念です。

### 5/5 — Best of the best

*2017-01-26, version 2.6*

Great flashlight - the best on the app store! 👍

### 5/5 — 使いやすい

*2017-01-24, version 2.6*

懐中電灯が常備された今、需要は減っていると思いますが、なんとなく愛着があり消せないアプリです。
まだ生きてて嬉しいです。

### 1/5 — Hmmm...

*2016-09-27, version 2.5.0*

I would have given this app NO stars, if I could have. I was looking for a flashlight NOT an app that would keep my screen lit indefinitely. I can do that using standard iPad settings, which it appears is exactly what this app was doing :|.

### 1/5 — Blank Page

*2015-12-19, version 2.5.0*

I got nothing. Even after paying to remove ads all I have is a blank screen.  I was really hoping this would work.
